History NightmareFuel / TheStupendium

* The original [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub "Why did I say Oki Doki?"]] has a scene where Monika takes over Stupendium's computer, which would be bad enough without ''[[UncannyValley the lips]]''.

* "An Impostor Calls" ends on a {{Nothing Is Scarier}} note that INVOKES {{Fridge Horror}}: [[spoiler: After the imposter (Stupendium) is ejected, he says "Who's to say I was the only one aboard?", and the text even reads "0 Imposters remain?!", implying that just because HE was eliminated doesn't mean the danger is over.]]

* The refrain of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6gGE9kxe1M Slide into the Void]]", where the characters shown in the video are suspended in midair, lit by ominous red lighting while a [[VoiceOfTheLegion choir of a single female voice]] sings what seems to be gibberish.

* "The Fine Print" takes great pain to describe the horrors of ''VideoGame/TheOuterWorlds''. The spokeman's absolute lack of care for the lives of the employees is horrifying, and what's worse is that the employees seem completely broken, willing to just work and work until they die with no other purpose than making money for the company. Gets doubly horrifying with RealitySubtext: The entire song is based on a logical extreme of capitalism, and many employers would treat their employees like this if they could simply to earn an extra nickel.

* The "Soon enough, you'll come round" bit of "Find the Keys" is filled with imagery of dead classic cartoon characters, culminating in a crazy-eyed Bendy beheading Winnie the Pooh with a guillotine and the head flying across the next frame to illustrate that "everything moves in arcs."

* [[VideoGame/FrostPunk Faith vs. Order]] begins with the Priest delivering a soothing, peaceful message about hope and unity, while the Captain's speech contrasts that with promise of iron discipline and forsaking human rights. Come the second verse, the Priest's agenda quickly escalates to skinning sinners, burning penitent innocents and launching crusades, and the Captain seems slightly more mild and reasonable. It doesn't last long, as both the Priest's and the Captain's final verses have them end as ruthless dictators. The visuals reflect this, as both stained glass and propaganda posters change from depicting hopeful crowds to glorifying executions and oppression.

* Even to someone jaded by ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' imagery, in [[https://youtu.be/u81OS9hC85g?t=178 "Art of Darkness"]] the effects to render Bertram Piedmont's disembodied head in his ride (off frame rate and makeup) give it an uncanny quality.

* Back Again is mostly a LighterAndSofter song about ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted'' with a few verses by the villain Glitchtrap. At the end of the video, Stupendium stops playing the game and has some pizza. Then he looks at the camera and his eyes glow violet, implying Glitchtrap successfully possessed him. What sells it is how well Stupendium underplays TheReveal.

* The refrain of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6gGE9kxe1M Slide into the Void]]", where the characters shown in the video are suspended midair, lit by ominous red lighting while a [[VoiceOfTheLegion choir of a single female voice]] sings what seems to be gibberish.
* Throughout [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Crazy Redd's]] rap, [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xv5N5TlfDTs Rogue's Gallery]], the fox merchant has been an AffablyEvil, albeit shady businessman. At his worst, he just seems to get pushy for his customer to buy his wares. However, near the end, we see what happens to those who truly manage to draw his ire. Redd has them all cut up and displayed in a manner similar to ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Physical_Impossibility_of_Death_in_the_Mind_of_Someone_Living The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.]]''
-->'''Crazy Redd:''' Say I'm a fake and it hurts. Say I'm just after a way to your purse? Say that to my face, you'll save on the hearse. ''You don't need a wake for a Damian Hirst!''
** Not too mention Redd's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv5N5TlfDTs cubist face]].

* When the Joy Doctor's particularly sinister bars in [[https://youtu.be/2u7TRE-UDGQ?t=59 It's a Joy]] that cause the scene to briefly become darker and desaturated while his normally rose-tinted glasses turn into ScaryShinyGlasses.

* Even to someone jaded by ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' imagery, in [[https://youtu.be/u81OS9hC85g?t=178 Art of Darkness]] the effects to render Bertram Piedmont's disembodied head in his ride (off frame rate and makeup) give it an uncanny quality.

* In the VideoGame/BeatSaber music video [[https://youtu.be/PnKxhbRqqx0?t=133 Impossible Geometry]] he gives himself a simple but effective NightmareFace that's also a FlyingFace just by putting glowing rings in his irises while singing about how addicted he is to the game. It's enhanced by having his face slowly drift closer to the viewer.

* The refrain of "Slide into the Void," where the characters shown in the video are suspended midair, lit by ominous red lighting while a [[VoiceOfTheLegion choir of a single female voice]] sings what seems to be gibberish.

What sells it is how well Stupendium, usually a LargeHam for comic effect, underplays TheReveal.
