*** Speaking of Roger, didn't anyone else feel creeped out by Spoony's part of You're A Rotten Dirty Bastard? I know he isn't supposed to see them, but the thought of him laughing like a maniac while the nostalgia critic shoots him. Plus the breif moment the camera shows his crazed face laughing while bullets bounce off him, makes this troper glad he wears goggles when he is playing Dr. Insano.

* The opening rant of ''ScoobyDoo''. The DespairSpeech in the commercial special was bad, but at least that was pretty passive. This one makes you scared that he's going to take his gun and shoot himself to make the pain go away.

* The end of his review of ''TheHaunting'', which is a long, ranting imitation of the writer having some kind of mental breakdown while insisting that his version is much more mature and grown-up than the original. It starts out funny, but it goes on for a really long time and gets pretty disturbing after a while.

* In a deleted scene on the premium area, he tries to hang himself. Sounds like his usual, right? Wrong. Unlike the gunshots where you see a [[PrettyLittleHeadshots little hole and some blood]], the rope is actually tight around his neck and it ''really'' looks like Doug is in pain.
* His Halloween special with Teddy Ruxpin, especially the ending. "Come dream with me tonight..."
* The end of his ''FullHouse'' review features a demonic growling version of the Olsen twins, who show up in one {{jump scare}} after another. Odds are you'll be caught off guard by at least one of them.

* The "Top 11 Mindfucks".
* That little bit where he's remembering all the torment he got about ''{{Doug}}''. The creepy laughing...
* His review of TheGoodSon. It's already a pretty freaky movie, but unlike his review for ''Film/AloneInTheDark'' where the Critic actually had a voice (albeit a robotic one), he only used cue cards for his TheGoodSon review. TheGoodSon is genuinely scary for some, and it was infinitely worse when he did the whole review in complete silence.
* In his review of the ''LostInSpace'' movie Dr. Smith's mutated spider form in the movie wasn't very scary to me. However, when the Nostalgia Critic dressed up like him at the end, he is rather uncanny and creepy looking. It most had to do with that weird voice, and his wide eyes, which popped out more because of the dark face paint he was wearing.
* His "Return of Nostalgic Commercials" review, when he looks at the Corn Pops commercials and puts in quick, half-second clips from various horror movies mixed in with the kids's [[SeriousBusiness mental breakdowns.]] And ''then'' he goes and puts in some EvilDead clips during the Fun Fruit Trees commercial!
* The end of his review of ''TheHaunting'', which is a long, ranting imitation of the writer having some kind of mental breakdown while insisting that his version is much more mature and grown-up than the original. It starts out funny, but it goes on for a really long time and gets pretty disturbing after a while.
* Unlike his usual BlackComedy suicides, that moment in the first commercials special where he's ''really'' close to DeathByDespair is creepy. It might be that he just seems so very alone and worn out.
* His HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood has a lot of AdultFear qualities about it, the earliest example being child!Critic allowed to have a gun.
* The end of his "''He-Man'' Christmas Special" review. A clip of Yoda saying "You ''will'' be. ''You will be.''" plays, and when Critic wonders why he keeps saying that, the sound of Yoda's disembodied laughter plays while Critic looks around in slight fear and confusion. And the laughter keeps going, even picks up a bit more, even as Critic ''leaves''.
** Made all the creepier when you hear a dark reprise of The Imperial March on the background.
** And then there's the end of his Next Top Eleven Christmas Specials. Usually the Critic crying and begging not to do something is great fun, but when he inserts the StarWars characters laughing manically at him it gets a bit freaky.
* The ending to ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach''. He gets massacred by all the guns when the screen goes black, but then there's a moment or two of silence followed by another clear-sounding shot. Gaaaah.
* His... mixed, ongoing reactions to [=SWS2=] (from getting excited twice over the prospect of the Spocker to wanting to kill Spoony in ''{{Kickassia}}'' to trusting him enough to drink with him again in the donation drive) don't say great things about his sanity.
* When he appears in ''Insurrection'', his hateful expression, stern voice, Critic breaking into tears and the ''KillBill'' music to top it off, makes Linkara seem far darker than the ParodySue he's usually portrayed as.
* The ''{{Red Dragon}}'' video features his take on Hannibal Lecter's most famous line, almost as disturbing as Hopkins'. Subverted and turned into a CrowningMomentOfFunny when after this, we cut to him indulging his posh side and ordering the food from a takeaway.
* A few moments from BennettTheSage in the ''StarChaser'' review make his guest appearance in Ask That Guy look like he was giving out candy, with him being dressed in a black and red robe, telling the Critic not to die as he can't played with that way, and getting ''way'' too turned on by Critic crying.
** The robot thing with human eyes was already creepy in the movie, but they just had to make it pants-shittingly terrifying by dubbing it with Judge Doom's "when I killed your brother" line. [[SarcasmMode Thanks for the nightmares, boys]].
* In the {{Transformers}} cartoon review, the domestic violence joke between Starscream and Megatron is really uncomfortable. Even the Critic acknowledges it being dark.
* Going back to the early days: Doug's impersonation of the Joker's "why so serious" speech, especially after four minutes of goofing around, makes you want to hide behind a blanket.
* The effect of his teeth shattering at Mara Wilson's cutesy child acting. Just... no.
** Not to mention... [[spoiler:DON'T FUCK WITH MARA WILSON!!!]]
* His getting attacked by a [[{{Alien}} Facehugger]]. Even if he just flicks it off, those things are just as creepy in poorly animated form.
