History NightmareFuel / StarWarsCloneWars

* The sequence where Anakin falls into an UnstoppableRage and slaughters the Skakoan scientists after witnessing the [[BodyHorror cruel experiments]] on the Nelvaanian males. The [[DeathGlare look on his face]] when he is about to kill them is pure hatred. The reaction of the Nelvaanian's towards the slaughter speaks volumes. The [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death of the lead scientist]] deserves special mention. According to both canon and other ''Legends'' stories, Skakoans come from a planet with a high-pressure atmosphere. If their pressure suits were to get breached, they would [[ExplosiveDecompression explosively decompress]]. While the scientist doesn't explode, [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/e5/Techno_union_engineer_boss.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20110505024410 what happens to him is more visually unsettling than what usually happens to Anakin/Darth Vader's other Force Choke victims]].

* During the assault in the Muunilinst capital we're treated to the big reveal that Durge is more than some healing limb factored armored cladded goliath... Durge's reveal of tendrils of [[LightningBruiser muscle and speed]] are frightening and the music accompaning the scene sounds appropriately straight out of a [[PsychoStrings horror movie]]. His form of attack on Obi-Wan Kenobi is grotesque to say the least [[spoiler: He [[BodyHorror uses his body]] and "consumes" him]]. Fortunately, though Obi-Wan manages to exscape from within Durge. Albeit, in a brief squicktastic moment.

* Anakin's rage during his battle with Ventress. The last time he was that angry [[Film/AttackOfTheClones he slaughtered an entire village.]] It's the same rage that would fuel Vader for ''decades.''

* Anakin's venture into the cave on Nelvaan gives us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMhX0iWUes this]] rather creepy bit of foreshadowing, as Anakin sees the Story of the Ghost Hand play out before him. It finishes with the helpless hero, his village and family devoured by the Ghost Hand, having an AndIMustScream moment...before the Ghost Hand reforms into the image of ''Darth Vader'',

* Admit it, [[HeroKiller General Grievous']] [[EstablishingCharacterMoment intro]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fight]] scared you. The [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath deaths]] of some of the Jedi that Grievous fought were very unsettling. The music playing throughout the fight doesn't help things either. The whole episode was treated like a horror movie, the way Grievous kept vanishing only to pop out and tear someone to bits, the tense music, the way the young Jedi freaks out. It's like watching an animated version of ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' with lightsabers.

** Oh yeah, and he doesn't split his arms like in the movies. No, he just bounces around from one foot to the next while fighting with three limbs. He's like some kind of demented monkey, only worse.

** Same scene, the short "Montage" of the General killing the clone troopers.

** Same scene, the short "Montage" of the General beating the clones to death. Keep in mind, this was on national television, and a children's show.

** How about we just agree that here, General Grievous is just plain walking NightmareFuel.

* Admit it, [[HeroKiller General Grievous']] [[EstablishingCharacterMoment intro]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fight]] scared you too. The [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath deaths]] of some of the [[MauveShirt Jedi]] Grievous fought were very unsettling. The music playing throughout the fight doesn't help things either. The whole episode was treated like a horror movie, the way Grievous kept vanishing only to pop out and tear someone to bits, the tense music, the way the young Jedi freaks out. It's like watching an animated version of Film/{{Alien}} with lightsabers. Especially if you consider the fact that Grevious in the show was based off of serial killers from horror movies. One of his preferred weapons (aside from his lightsabers and the electric wires he tied Shakk Ti up with) was a chainsaw or something similar to one (Not seen, but in episode 23, a chainsaw noise was heard from the door, which the director added for horror purpose).

One of his preffered weapons (aside from the lightsabers and the electric wires he tied Shakk Tii with) was (apparently, since it SOUNDED like one) a chainsaw (Not seen, but in episode 23, a chainsaw noise was heard from the door, which the director added that there for horror purpose. Then again, this Grevious had weapons never seen in the movies.
* The episode "Lair of Grevious" had a much darker tone compared to others.
** The very nasty fight with Grevious that has the Jedi chopping his legs off, while he crawls on the ceiling.
** A clone trooper getting ''incinerated'' in a lava pit, ala ''Film/TempleOfDoom''.
** Grevious' horrifying "pet" which mauls another clone trooper to death.
** Grievous' droid doctor telling him that there may be "[[{{Understatement}} some discomfort]]" and then beginning to cut open his head as he screams in agony.
* In "Cargo of Doom", there's a scene where Cad Bane tortures a Jedi using electricity. The entire sequence - Bane's coldness, the Jedi's death, complete with tongue sticking out, and what really sealed it was the emotionless battle droids.
* The scene in "Children of the Force" where Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Windu try to gain information from Cad Bane by using a Jedi Mind Trick on him, all at the same time. It's pretty creepy to watch cold, calculating Bane thrash in obvious agony as they assault his mind, with the Jedi knowing full well it could destroy him, mentally and physically.
* The clones getting their escape pods cracked by the nonchalant droids... humming a jaunty tune.
* The spider assassin-droid in "Voyage of Temptation". Imagine a giant metal spider with dozens of glowing red eyes, and it's trying to kill you. Now imagine that when you kill it, it starts spewing out ''dozens'' of one-eyed tiny little spider droids, ''also'' trying to kill you.
* Geonosian parasites.
** Especially when controlling dead Geonosians.
** One of the Geonosians pulls out a mind-control worm and shows it to Luminara. Anakin wishes to free her, but Obi-Wan tells him to wait it out. The Geonosian then puts the worm on Luminara's face and Obi-Wan ''is still waiting to see how the worm will enter her head''.
** At the start of "Brain Invaders", the first worm enters a clone and his eyes ''roll back'' during infection.
* The scene where Barris watches a bunch of infected clones force a brain worm up another clone's nose. It gave a whole new meaning to MindRape.
* [[HumanoidAbomination The Son]] from the Mortis arc, who's basically the Dark Side incarnate. And The Son occasionally talks in ''Emperor Palpatine's'' voice.
* From the same arc, Anakin's vision of his future was horrifying. He's basically watching himself butcher innocent children, fatally throttle his beloved wife, attempt to murder his best friend, and be party to the destruction of a planet and the genocide of billions of innocent people, all while being unable to stop the visions. Forget turning to the dark side, he's lucky he didn't go ''insane'' from the experience. Worst part? There's ''nothing in those visions that he cannot prevent.'' Hindsight's a bitch, ain't it?
* The torture scene in "The Citadel" deserves mention, especially those six words said by the torture droid as it reached for Even Piell's eye; "Say goodbye to your good eye." Brr...
* Exploding Gungans, Mon Cala and Quarren, courtesy of Riff Tamson's knife bombs. It gets even more gruesome when [[spoiler: Lee-Char blows Tamson to bits with one of the shark-man's own bombs. We not only see blood onscreen, but also some of Tamson's remains, including his ''head'', sink to the bottom of the sea.]]
* Almost everything from "Massacre", including Mother Talzin's ColdBloodedTorture of Dooku via voodoo doll and Nightsister zombies.
* [[spoiler: Darth Maul. He's become a psychotic, deranged lunatic, skittering around on a spider-like contraption, ranting dementedly. If possible, his single moment of sanity at the end of his first appearance is even worse; an unblinking, yellow-eyed DeathGlare, showing that beneath his insanity, Maul is still a vicious predator, obsessed with revenge.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Darth Maul''': Revenge... ''I must have revenge''...]]
** [[spoiler: He's laughing and sobbing at random intervals between broken ramblings interspersed with coherent phrases about revenge, and there's the implication that he is [[AndIMustScream fully aware]] of his broken mental state.]]
--->[[spoiler: '''Darth Maul''': The chains.... the chains are the easy part. It's what goes on in ''here'' that's hard [''taps head, begins to sob''].]]
* While it's not shown on screen, it is implied [[spoiler: Darth Maul ''killed'' a bunch of kids in ''Revenge''..]].
