History NightmareFuel / Smallville

* ''Delete'': In a manner reminiscent of ''Visage'', an unknown assailant runs Chloe down with a truck, she narrowly avoids it when she falls to the ground; the driver steps out of the car seemingly to finish off the visibly terrified Chloe, then you see that he is [[{{Superdickery}} Clark]] [[WhatTheHellHero Kent]] (Chloe later admits she thought Clark actually wants to kill her for [[spoiler:her brief FaceHeelTurn earlier). Then Lana gives her a long, brutal beating while being literally AxCrazy. And some woman stabs some guy in the head. ''Through his ear.'' [[spoiler:Jonathan tries to strangle Chloe with a chain and Martha goes after her with a sickle. They are all mind controlled, and horrified when they find out what they did.]]

* ''Metamorphosis'': We see that the freak of the week villain skin comes off during a hot shower, with pieces of skin falling down like they were meat (ham cold cuts, according to WordOfGod). And that's not the only thing wrong with him. [[spoiler: He killed his mother in a horrible manner.]]
* Just the whole aspect of ''Craving'', where the power to suck the fat out of someone or an animal, in order to substance the HorrorHunger. The mutant in question has her face terrifyingly distorted when she does that.

* ''Redux'': If you thought ''Craving'' was horrific enough, this time the freak of the week is able to suck the lifeforce out of someone and make them physically aged to old age. And that's not counting what happens when you see what [[TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf the FOTW sees in the mirror]].

Then Lana gives her a long, brutal beating while being literally AxCrazy. And some woman stabs some guy in the head. ''Through his ear.''

[[folder:Season Four]]
* In ''Forever'', the freak of the week has the power to freeze anyone he touches, almost like a wax figure. The scary part comes when whenever he freezes someone, they can still move their eyes and are so fragile, they break apart like the T-1000.

* ''Obsession'': Seriously, Clark (and Lana and Chloe by extension) should learn by now that all their love interests other than each other ([[UnfortunateImplications no]], not including [[GirlOnGirlIsHot that]]) turn out to be psychos. [[spoiler:Alicia goes after Lana with a [[KnifeNut knife]], using her [[VillainTeleportation teleportation powers]] in a manner eerily similar to Emily.]]

(*Lana grabs her head and smashes it against the wall, then throws her down the stairs*)

* ''Visage'': The [[spoiler:shapeshifting Tina Greer returns]] with truckloads of soft nightmare fuel. Normally, you might be a little creeped out by Clark suddenly and violently kissing Lana, but it pales in comparison as you get to see Chloe apparently smelling Lana's underwear, then proceed to leer and grope at her (instant cure for Chloe infatuation), Lana beating Pete unconcious with a cold sneer, and Whitney beating an officer to death casually with a bat. Comes with generous doses of [[spoiler:ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange and ShapeshiftingSquick. Possibly the show's first CompleteMonster. Even her last words gave this troper the creeps, not to mention it is preceeded by KarmicDeath by ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice.]]
* ''Accelerate'': True to the name, this episode features a freak of the week who [[spoiler:is a clone of a ten year old girl, created by her father due to grief over her death, and is rapidly aged to ten, and as a side effect, she]] has SuperSpeed. Not scary? Every time she appears, it is accompanied with extremely "girly-creepy-ghost" music. And then they found the lab [[spoiler:with a few more cloned bodies]]. And then she gets Lana to play with her at the bridge over the river like how they used to. Lana tells her how the little girl [[spoiler:died, and [[TooDumbToLive said she wishes everyday that it was her who died]]]]. Big mistake.

* ''Exile'' (and part of the next episode, ''Phoenix''): A full episode of Clark doing horrible things (although it does have shades of {{Superdickery}}, the BewareTheSuperman tone seems stronger) including but not limited to [[BankRobbery robbing banks]] ([[KickTheSonOfABitch beating up the would-be robbers on the way]]), [[KickTheMoralityPet roughing up Chloe]] after [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight she spent two months trying to convince him to go home]], making a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with a crime boss to break into a high-security vault]] and [[CallingTheOldManOut coming to actual blows with Jonathan]]. Oh, he [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking stole and destroyed Chloe's class ring too]]. [[spoiler:He is actually affected by the red kryptonite in Chloe's ring, and breaking it finally frees him from his SuperpoweredEvilSide.]] This is all made worse by how he is burned by [[spoiler:Jor-El's mark]] every once in a while, which forces him to [[spoiler:take off the ring]]; but once he does so his grief and guilt makes him [[spoiler:put it on again]] in a self-destructive cycle reminiscent of heavy drinking.

--->[[spoiler:'''Emily''': This time, it will be. (Complete with murderous expression; proceeds to [[SuperDrowningSkills drown Lana with a push]])]]

* ''Dichotic'': A painfully long and unnecessary sequence of [[spoiler:Ian]] spliting himself into two.
