* The subject matter in "The Hatchetfield Ape-Man" is very much on the comedy side of HorrorComedy, but plenty of people said they found Robert Manion's AxCrazy performance as Hidgens to be just as terrifying as it was hilarious. The moment the mask slips off and he screams in pure, undiluted rage, "LUCY?... OPEN THIS DOOR!" convinced many fans that Robert could kill it acting out the similar scene of JD's VillainousBreakdown in ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''.

* The true nature of the Honey Queen pageant. Rather than a simple talent competition, it's used by the Church of the Starry Children to select a ''sacrifice'' for Nibbly. The "sweetest woman in Hatchetfield" isn't just a euphemism; the winner has to be the person who wanted to win the most, and would do anything to get the title, because it ''enhances their flavor''.
** When Linda wins the competition, she's lead into the woods by her own father to be sacrificed. All she can do as she's pulled into Nibbly's drooling maw is cry and scream for her husband.
--> '''Nibbly:''' Hello, Linda. Yum yum...

* The puppet/mask/whatever used for the Hatchetfield Axe-Man is rather scary, and there's some intense BodyHorror descriptions of the victims of his attacks. Of note is when he turns one student's flesh into wallets overnight.

* The flashing, almost-gory visuals of the titular song are pretty disturbing.
* The scene where Miss Holloway tries to fight the effects of the track, screaming her head off and almost killing Duke to try and get the song to stop before she finally succumbs to it.

* Creator/JeffBlim's description of the Bastard's Box ("Screaming... and screaming... AND SCREAMING"), while [[NothingIsScarier withholding almost all details of how it actually works or what it's like]], is ''just evocative enough'' that thinking about Ted being trapped there for eternity -- the thing his indescribably awful life on the streets as the Homeless Man was a ''refuge'' from -- is hard to bear.

* Creator/JaimeLynBeatty's portrayal of a ManipulativeBastard using abusive techniques to control Tom's behavior and screw with his sense of right and wrong was lifelike enough to make many viewers deeply uncomfortable -- and the idea of her ''winning'' at the end and getting free rein to sink her claws into Tim as his "new mother" is even worse.

* The endless recursive nightmare scenarios that make up Nightmare Time are as close to ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin for this trope as it gets, with an endless procession of new scares to follow up old ones -- James Tolbert's terrifying intensity as the Judge sentencing Hannah to be hanged, the grotesque BodyHorror of the Three-Girl Creature followed by the nightmarish [[HearingVoices cacophony of voices]] followed by the all-too-familiar sleazy malice of Uncle Wily, followed by Angela Giarratana's truly bravura performance as the utterly unhinged and sadistic Witch in the Web.

* For that matter, if you remove the Hatchetfield weirdness that pushes it into RefugeInAudacity territory, Lucy's situation is pretty terrifying: two people, one of whom she considered a friend and the other she was beginning to fall in love with, are in fact partaking in an elaborate con to steal her money and ''kill her''. One ''does'' grow fond enough of her to have a change of heart, but not enough to confess the truth to her--he just plans to marry her under false pretenses and deceive her for the rest of her life so he can have access to the money. And then they find out there ''is'' no money, and one of them gets ''very'' angry...
