History NightmareFuel / SpidermanPS4

* Hammerhead is even creepier in the ''Silver Lining'' DLC, thanks to his [[spoiler:new cyborg body, that not only towers over everyone else present, but only resembles a human on it's basic shape. The only visible human part is his head, making it possible it was "merely" a head transplant. And as we find out later, the conversion was his ''own decision''.]]

* Yuri turns into Wraith. Spider finds a bunch of audio recordings with a therapist and a Maggia enforcer. As we find out, Yuri is still trying to get the Maggia despite being suspended, and its revealed that the therapist is an undercover officer. The plan is to get the enforcer in the act of attempting to murder Yuri, but the enforcer is revealed to be on to them and kills the undercover officer. And then, you get to find a lovely scene where Yuri kidnapped the guy, tied him up and shot him in cold blood. Okay, the guy clearly murdered several people and escaped due to OffOnATechnicality, but Yuri has clearly went over the line. And when Spider Man contacts Yuri, her defence is that the system does not work for the Maggia. She openly states that [[EvilFeelsGood she enjoyed killing the enforcer]]. The final message makes it clear that the Yuri of old is gone and Wraith has been born.

** The Demons, in general, are nightmare fuel. They wear creepy Chinese opera masks, can harness dark and light energy, and are a huge NoNonsenseNemesis. This is taken UpToEleven during the assembly where Jefferson Davis is killed. The whole scene is disturbingly similar to real life terrorist attacks, with several Demon suicide bombers. And Peter is knocked out for most of the event, meaning you have to play as Miles, giving you a ground zero feel to the whole scene.

Just as Spider-Man for [=PS4=] has its share of [[TearJerker Sad Moments]] and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Funny Ones]], it has its own [[NightmareFuel section of terrors.]]

*** To find the hidden lab, you need to utilize a rather. . .''familiar''-looking helmet that sits on Norman's desk in his penthouse apartment. The Heads-Up Display even notes in the top left hand corner that the 'glider interface' is offline. Inside the lab you find what appear to be prototype pumpkin bombs. Then you flash back to the OsCorp displays in Grand Central Station. Remember the medical drone the presenter was going on about? It looks pretty familiar too. . .

** The scene in the Bar is, in itself, one of the creepiest scenes in that DLC. Earlier you go through the bar with the Spider-Drone, get to listen into the various mooks' humorous and once or twice even ironically sweet MookChatter, and generally get to see it as a lively place. When you come back later it's... not. The whole place is quiet as the grave, with corpses ''everywhere'' - on the ground, against the walls, hanging off the furniture. You later tail a rattled survivor who is at the hospital, looking after victims who weren't so lucky. It's like an army scoured the place. [[Yuri did it all herself.]] And in ''Silver Lining,'' she makes it clear she had no intention of ever stopping.

* The cliffhanger ending of ''The Heist'' has Spidey racing to Felicia's penthouse to save her from the wrath of Hammerhead. We're set up to expect a [[BossBattle one-on-one fight with Hammerhead,]] but instead we witness [[spoiler: Peter arriving seconds too late to stop Felicia from opening her door and setting off a rigged bomb and being engulfed in a massive explosion.]] Given what we have seen in the game already, we have no guarantee of a happy ending, even with a ToBeContinued card.
* The entirety of ''Turf Wars'' is one long TraumaCongaLine for Yuri. All of her men, including one who just celebrated his birthday and showed off his new Spider-Man watch from his child to the webslinger himself, end up dead after a botched storming of Hammerhead's hideout. That's bad enough but then it goes FromBadToWorse when Hammerhead's goons manage to storm the precinct while Spidey is distracted, resulting in even more causalities. Yuri then grabs one of the Sable gun's and decides she's going full CowboyCop, even threatening to arrest Spider-Man if he gets in her way. "The Bar With No Name", a frequent hide-out for Maggia goons is found ransacked with bullets holes and dead bodies with the heavy implication that Yuri's the one who did it (the mission is even called "''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Yuri's Revenge]]''"). And then to top it all off, she puts a round right into Hammerhead himself, right in front of Spidey and his officers. It's very likely [[StartOfDarkness we just saw the birth of Wraith]].

--> '''Peter:''' Otto. The neural isn't isolating your motor neurons. [[SanitySlippage It could be affecting other parts of your brain: Your inhibitions, your mood...]] I just think we need to do some more testing.\\

* Spidey himself gets a pretty creepy moment all on his own in ''The Heist''. After defeating a group of Maggia enforcers one attempts to get away. Spider-Man webs the goon's hand to the trunk of a car, lands on the roof. . .and proceeds to slowly, ''slowly'' crawl closer without saying a single word. The thug is reduced from hardened criminal to utterly terrified in seconds.

*** Miles's entire stealth section with Rhino is an ''extremely'' tense game of cat and mouse that feels like something out of a survival horror game. And what does Rhino do if he spots Miles? Forego any sense of mercy and either charge the boy or ''squash him under his foot.''

* The cliffhanger ending of ''The Heist'' has Spidey racing to Felicia's loft to save her from the wrath of Hammerhead. We're set up to expect a [[BossBattle one-on-one fight with Hammerhead,]] but instead we witness [[spoiler: Peter arriving seconds too late to stop Felicia from opening her door and setting off a rigged bomb and being engulfed in a massive explosion.]] Given what we have seen in the game already, we have no guarantee of a happy ending, even with a ToBeContinued card.
