History NightmareFuel / The100

* [[spoiler: Dr Tsing dying of radiation poisoning in the corner of an elevator, cornered by Jasper and his friends.]] Yes, it was incredibly cathartic, not to mention [[KarmicDeath karmic]], but still...

** Especially because this is usually accompanied by a close-up shot of [[spoiler: the drill boring into the flesh.]] Being ''stabbed'' would be bad enough. Having the knife ''twisted'' would be worse. But having a [[spoiler: piece of metal whirring through your flesh into your bone, so they can kill you piece by piece?]]

** It was worse in Second Season Finale. [[spoiler:We see them going through the remaining kids one-by-one without remorse, leaving corpses behind despite them screaming for the pain to stop.]]

* The acid fog in "Earth Kills": A storm of toxic fog that viciously burns anyone exposed to it. It leaves [[spoiler: Adam]] in such unimaginable pain that he begs to be killed.

* Anything to do with the [[spoiler:marrow transplants conducted by Doctor Tsing]] can be pretty terrifying. [[spoiler:Seeing some of the scars on one of the survivors and seeing the blood-soaked wrappings covering bodies of the deceased is absolutely revolting, especially considering the implication that the victim is alive and conscious throughout the process. In addition to their Grounder farming and the Reaper training, it's made pretty clear that Mount Weather is perpetrating some serious MedicalHorror to achieve their goals.]]

* The gorilla that mauls Grounders and chases Clarke and Anya.

* The gorilla that mauls Grounders and chases Clarke and Anya.

* Clarke spends the entire episode after she [[spoiler:kills Finn hallucinating him, but the worst time is the first. She's looking at his dead body when his eyes ''snap open'' and he stares at her as he is carried away by the Grounders.]]

* In "Spacewalker", Lincoln's description of a Grounder execution is...unpleasant, to say the least. First you get burned, then parts of your body are systematically removed one by one. At sunrise, the commander comes and finishes it with her sword, but nobody's ever made it that long before.

* The first time the 100 confront the Grounders. They move like [[{{DeathFromAbove}} shadows, dropping out of trees and kill silently.]] They trick another of the group to run into a trap. And effortlessy [[{{ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice}} launch a spear into a third of the group pinning her to a tree like a ragdoll.]] Worst of all it comes across just another hunt to them and they are Wolves playing with their prey...
* The torture of the Grounder Lincoln is particularly harrowing-he is beaten, impaled and electrocuted over the course over a very long night. Moreover, his refusal to break could have led to him being tortured to death.

* You know the Grounders, those tough , ruthless warriors who view charging the 100 in their fortified position as a challange worth taking? Who view the fact the 100 have automatic weapons as a minor hurdle to Victory. Stealthy, quick , strong and relentless? Meet the [[{{AlwaysABiggerFish}} Reapers, who view Grounders as walking meals .]] And who when even if their is a hint of them in the area , will cause the [[{{OhCrap}} Grounders to run for their lives dignity be dammned.]] The fact that they are animalistic , brutal and like their meat fresh may have something to do with it.

* At the end of "We Are Grounders, Part Two", we finally get a look at the "mountain men" that The Grounders dread so much. [[spoiler: They're US military-esque soldiers with gas-masks, knockout gas grenades and rifles with laser-sights. They capture The 100 and have them prisoner inside Mount Weather.]] The fact that they appear to have treated the 100's wounds mitigates this slightly, but they're still scary as hell.

** The secret behind Mount Weather's medical treatment? [[spoiler:They capture Grounders, harvest their blood, and then drop the corpses into the tunnels where the Reapers can get them. Worse, some of them are ''still alive'' when the Reapers get to them.]]

** The secret behind Mount Weather's medical treatment? [[spoiler:They capture Grounders and harvest their blood.]]

** The Grounders ''crucify'' a number of people just outside the camp of the Ark survivors to send a message.

** Jaha found a baby locked in the dresser of the Ark, left behind by someone who either knew the child wouldn't survive re-entry or out of simple neglect.
** Raven needs surgery or runs the risk of never walking again. Unfortunately they don't have any equipment or way to numb the pain means its a MeatgrinderSurgery. ''Her screams echo around the camp the entire time.''

* Clarke herself in the first episode of season 2. [[spoiler:She holds one person hostage by the throat, cutting into it, and then tries to escape by opening a hatch, knowing that the radiation will kill them. Note that she doesn't have much reason to doubt their words, but her time outside had left her so paranoid that she kept trying to run.]]

** The season one finale enforcd when a Reaper hunting party comes across an Grounder invasion fighting force, and despite being outnumbers at least three to one held their own for at least five minutes.

* Bellamy's vision of [[spoiler: Jaha and every single member of the Ark who was killed because he destroyed Raven's radio haunting him and calling him a murderer. The blood spilling out of Jaha's chest makes it all that much more terrifying.]]
