* In general, a big part of what makes the art so creepy is that most of it takes place in a normal looking suburban environment. The implication is that most of the monsters don't live in inherantly creepy places, they live in totally normal mundane surroundings which could even be the [[ParanoiaFuel viewer's own home]].

* Long Horse itself ventures into this territory at times. Sure, it's one of the more benevolent monsters out there, but there's still the fact that it's a literal, decaying skull attached to a decaying neck. Said neck makes a lot of cracking sounds, and it's also long enough that, even in full view, one can never find its actual body.

It shouldn't come off as a surprise that Trevor Henderson's whole rogue gallery is a cesspool for nightmares. Even if the monster in question doesn't come off as too creepy, there still the fact that he can blend said monsters in with photos surprisingly well, not to mention the (rather unfortunate) fact that there's ''a lot'' of these things.

* A fan noted Trevor that if the situations regarding the Earth are that dire, humanity should evacuate the planet. Trevor's response? [[NightmareFetishist "oh boy]], [[FridgeHorror wait’ll you]] [[WhamLine see what’s in SPACE!"]]

* The Patron Saints is a rough categorization for powerful monsters that represent qualities in life. Unfortunately, a good many of them provide the more ''unnatural'' aspects of life. Expect [[SarcasmMode wonderful]] descriptions such as, "Patron Saint of creeping dread, of things going missing, of bad things coming."

* The Patron Saints is a rough categorization for powerful monsters that represent qualities in life. Unfortunately, a good many of them provide the more ''unnatural'' ''unnerving'' aspects of life. Expect [[SarcasmMode wonderful]] descriptions such as, "Patron "''Patron Saint of creeping dread, of things going missing, of bad things coming."coming,''" or "''Patron Saint of dark places, of hungry life, of spotless bones.''"
** Concerningly, Cartoon Cat's portrait, instead of a symbolic message, just says, "''*laugh track intensifies*''" It doesn't help that, unlike a majority of the portraits besides [[AnimalisticAbomination Good Boy's]], there aren't any halos present.
*** For those who don't know, a patron saint's morality standards are indicated by the number of halos they have. In other words, Cartoon Cat is actually more evil than the likes of [[HumanoidAbomination Siren Head]] (who has just one halo) or [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk the Man with the Upside-Down Face]] (who has ''more'' halo rays).

** Then there's it's CreepilyLongArms. The torso and head are so small that the arms appear even ''more'' disproportionately large.
** [[AnArmAndALeg It's missing it's legs]], meaning it is forced to ''crawl'' towards you. Imagine going home late at night, turning around, and seeing this mildly humanoid.. ''thing'' crawling towards you.
** Hell, the fact that it ''[[ParanoiaFuel follows you home]]'' is creepy enough, but it's weakness? To stop it. Which began the question: how does one ''stop'' this thing?!

** You'd probably expect it to be easy to find a 40-foot humanoid that rambles constantly, and perhaps easy to kill too? That would be except for the fact that the damn thing is not only impervious to conventional weaponry, but it's also capable mimicking other structures as well. The process is still not entirely known, but it is known that Siren Head can manipulate and assimilate technology into himself to aid in hunting humans. This means that he could potentially be some lone lamp pole or pile of pipes, just waiting for the moment to strike.

* Big Charlie is pretty much a over-sized, likely abused cow with chicken features. It doesn't help that the poor thing has a wound in his stomach that, quite regularly, drops meat chunks that form into Lil' Nuggets. At least he's one of the more passive creatures out there.
** The Lil' Nuggets, at least by themselves, don't look too creepy for little meat chunks with googly eyes and stubby legs, even looking a little cute. The problem comes when they eventually grow up, transforming into [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] that defy certain physics and possess lethal, omnipresent powers. These adult stages also come in two forms: the [[CreepyGood surprisingly benign]] [[AnimalisticABomination Lambs]], and the [[EvilDoppelganger not-so benign]] [[NameToRunAwayFromReallyFast Void Nuggets]].

*** Speaking of pipes, it not only manages to mimic a pipe perfectly, but it's implied in one report to have stayed in the home of a family while in this form for an ''entire week'' before massacring all of them.



** According to one post from Trevor, Cartoon Cat is [[TheDreaded so terrifying]] that it ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror scares every other monster ever]]''. That's right, even ''Siren Head'' is potentially terrified of this thing.

* [[{{Kaiju}} The Giants.]] They're huge abominations that just so happened to have paid a visit to Earth one day, and with no intention of leaving. The people of this alternate Earth can only watch in madness, awe, and horror at the sight of the Giants wandering the Earth daily, doing ungodly things to anyone they decide to attack.

* The Bridge Worms. At first glance, they look weirdly pitiful, with [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Strong Sad-like]] faces. But if they find you, they'll reveal their [[NightmareFace true face]] (the page image) to you as you become their next meal. According to some reports, a majority of Bridge Worm photos depict the monster in its adolescent stages. If that's the case, [[FridgeHorror what do the adults look like?]]
