* Some of the alien designs can, in general, be rather unsettling, especially when they look more only slightly inhuman shaped, or are shedding a human disguise.

!!''Men in Black 2'':
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeff.jpg]]
* The infamous BalloonBelly scene from the opening of the second film. Silly? Oh yes. But now take a moment to imagine not only being swallowed alive, but crushed down to not even half your size in the process. Let's be thankful this happened to a would-be rapist of all people.
** The poor guy's "Hey what the-" followed by his scream of terror didn't help.
** And Serleena just happily rests a hand over her gigantic belly, picking at her teeth with her other one. For us it's like eating a good Christmas dinner, only she just ate a human being alive and is visibly blissful from a good meal. Her stomach's gurgling from digestion makes it even worse.
* Jeff the Worm, both before and after he swallows Serleena.
!!''Men in Black 3'':
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boris_true_form.jpg]]

* Boris has tiny, knife like killer parasites, murders his girlfriend for no reason at all, and can erase you from time.
** [[spoiler: [[TheWormThatWalks Go ahead...]] [[NightmareFace arrest]] [[BodyHorror me.]]]]

* One minor one from the film's novelization; when going to Jeebs' pawnshop, the future Agent J warns Agent K about how his car is likely to get stolen. K brushes it off, and mental dialogue reveals why he's so nonchalant; his security system is alien design. What does it do? It quietly and casually '''disintegrates''' anyone who tries to pick the lock! By the time that they step through the shop's doors, about five would-be carlifters are dead, and K just smirks to himself that this neighborhood is going to get safer and safer the longer they take inside.
* The animated series has Agent Alpha, a renegade who decided that he wanted to become the ultimate lifeform by [[AppendageAssimilation hacking off alien limbs]] and [[OrganTheft ripping out their organs]] to graft to himself. He's basically a ''serial killer'' with all sorts of alien powers... scary in itself, before you see what he [[BodyHorror really looks like]]...

* The Bug while in the human body. Ironically, his actual giant cockroach form is less unsettling than his human form. The "Edgar suit", being a dead man's skin and all is just freakier. It seems to be [[{{Squick}} gradually decomposing]] over the course of the film.
** A lot of what he/it does throughout the movie could be considered HighOctaneNightmareFuel, [[RuleOfFunny if it weren't so funny]].
