History NightmareFuel / TheNostalgiaCritic

* So the stuff Critic reviews can totally be scary, but usually it’s terror in a kid’s film or fun gore for adults. Not so much in ''Film/BestFriends'', as there’s suddenly a scene where a guy drags a screaming girl to a room and holds a knife against her. Critic reacts accordingly, uncomfortably freaked.

** It should be noted that the original video had the ending theme to the ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'', which was removed in the official Channel Awesome upload due to copyright. It can still vaguely be heard throughout the end credits.

* That little bit where he's remembering all the torment he got about ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''. He starts off StepfordSmiler about it, then the voices start, and he snaps out of it with his hands covered in blood.

* During NC's review of ''Film/GhostRider'', there's a commercial involving Tamara scrubbing the floors with the Sam Wow, a cloth in the shape of a mustache. Of course, it turns out you're not supposed to have it come in contact with latex, otherwise it'll burn human skin. She pulls off the gloves she's wearing and her hands are very much burned to hell!

* The title card for ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax,'' which features the Critic's faced merged with the Lorax, which is outright bizarre and disturbing.
** The opening scene, which is probably the most disturbing parody of ''Literature/TheGivingTree'' ever. A little boy chats with the tree, and then as an adult cuts her down to make posters for The Lorax. This is not helped by the tree horrifically screaming and pleading for him to stop the entire time, even as she goes into the shredder.

* In ''Film/TheNeverendingStory III'', that brief moment of silence between where he stops laughing and starts smashing.

* The preview screen for his ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' review makes Lola [[YanDere look]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy positively]] [[UncannyValley terrifying,]] especially when put next to NC's horrified face.

** The live action version of Count Chocula, it's a great example of the UncannyValley and his wide eyes is eerily similar to [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Judge Doom]]'s eyes.

* In ''WesternAnimation/FoodFight'', you have the character of Mr. Clipboard, who walks around in the way most characters from the UncannyValley do, with an unusual walk, disturbing facial expressions, and flailing arms. Then there's the sketch in which Doug adapts Clipboard's tics and tries to solicit Tamara, which ends with her kneeing him in the crotch twice. Doug's "Clipboard" face looks akin to a junkie, and the fact that his audio is deliberately out-of-sync with his mouth ups the uncanny level a lot.

* The title card for ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax,'' which features the Critic's faced merged with the Lorax, which is [[UncannyValley outright bizarre and disturbing]].

* In the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' editorial, his attempt to edit the Turtles faces from the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 new film]] to try to tone down their UncannyValley only succeeds in giving them an even creepier appearance.

* In ''Alaska'', whatever his dad did to him to get him never mouthing off again and still be shaky and traumatized over it years later. He’s scared in universe and the AdultFear makes it scary for us.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersG1'' review, the domestic violence joke between Starscream and Megatron is really uncomfortable. Even the Critic acknowledges it being dark.

* In the ''Film/SonOfTheMask'' the devil refuses the grant the Critic's request to be killed in order to relieve him of the [[FateWorseThanDeath suffering caused by the memory of watching the film]]. While such a decision is not surprising in and of itself, it is remarked that "death" didn't work out so well for the Critic the last time, implying that the Critic will never be permitted to die, [[ImmortalityHurts no matter how great the suffering]].

* In the ''Film/BridgeToTerabithia'' review, we have a cutaway gag to show what if Leslie survived the rope incident and grew up and reunited with the grown up Jesse. When Jesse reminds her about when they pretended that Terabithia was a real place when they were younger, Adult!Lesle creepily stated that she was still in Terabithia. Adult!Jesse immediately left out of fear, and the gag ended with Leslie asking Malcolm, who's strapped to a chair, if he could see Terabithia. In reality, [[Film/RedDragon She's showing Malcolm blank slides, forcing him to pretend he sees something]]. Then she tells him she's glad he can, unlike the others. Cut to a bunch of skeletons.

* The [[https://t.co/V6PGCTGojC title card]] for "Is This The Joker's Best Death", with the top half of his face in shadow and only a SlasherSmile showing.

* At the end of ''Film/{{Paranoia}}'', Brad with scary angry eyes promises Critic that a person with a horse's head will rape him. Was that needed?

* In ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' where Critic testing crossover battle, one of the infamous part was [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum with Pikachu]] is battle against [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]] when Williams chainsaw at Pikachu, later Critic heard that Ketchum is crying where he yelled at him to "Suck it up", but even worse that Ketchum is holding Pikachu's decapitated head and Ash Williams said "Pokémon Go Fuck Yourself".

* His review of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' sees the Critic do his take on Judge Doom's infamous voice. Although not as terrifying as the original, it's still pretty damn scary.

** The ImagineSpot with Rob's head in a noose, Malcolm LaughingMad and the walls covered in blood.

** It gets worse when Doug as Sam Elliot grabs her threateningly, makes her cry and then shoots her. [[LeaveNoWitnesses And then he shoots the cameraman]].

* Due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, the suicide in ''WesternAnimation/CartoonAllstarsToTheRescue'' has a different feel to it; a longer set-up and a second-long silent black screen. Not funny, more kinda sad and genuinely scary.

* In the Disney Afternoon review, Critic physically abuses Malcolm, both for [[BerserkButton mentioning]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' and for getting the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' theme [[EarWorm stuck in his head]] again. Pretty typical slapstick, right? Except Malcolm is shown with bruises after this, is visibly shaken, and is ''knocked unconscious'' the second time. That's not even going into him pulling out a gun on him and Tamara over ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', or snapping at them in general. Overall he gives off major vibes of a PsychopathicManchild even more than usual here.

* At the end of the "Old vs New Teen Titans" video, he complains that ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' [[TemptingFate wasn't as bad as everyone hyped it and demands something actually horrible be given to him]]. SmashCut to the Critic sitting in front of the sofa, blood coming from his eyes with a look of horror on his face.

* In the ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' editorial, his attempt to edit the Turtles faces from the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 new film]] to try to tone down their UncannyValley only succeeds in giving them an even creepier appearance.
