** And this time he doesn't stop at just the head. '''He swallows the guy whole!'''

* [[https://youtu.be/EDbIgO70hKo This clip]] shows Venom fighting off a squad team, and he is ''brutal''. Leaping onto a balcony, he yanks one man off and sends him plummeting to the ground. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, he grabs the poor guy and throws him around like a ragdoll, knocking out the other officers. The terrifying thing is just how ''effortlessly'' he takes out the whole squad. It's like the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 "Puny God" scene]], but played for ''horror''.
** Near the start of the scene, he catches one of the squad team's smoke pellets - and ''crushes it with one hand!''

** Venom's expressive white eyes manage to take the most recognisable part of ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'s'' look and plunge it straight back into UncannyValley.

** The mother lode of AdultFear that comes with the young girl being taken over by Riot. Imagine being that young, on a trip with your parents who are absolutely doing their best to make sure you don't get lost in the crowds. Then you go into the washroom with your mother, and suddenly this...evil beast that you have obviously never heard of or seen before just takes over your body, controls every inch of your being including your vocal cords, and [[AndIMustScream you have no way to tell anyone that something is wrong]].

--->'''Venom''': [[ToThePain We will eat both your arms and then both of your legs and then we will eat your face right off your head. You will be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won’t you? Rolling down the street like a turd in the wind.]]\\
'''Criminal''': WhatTheHellAreYou\\
'''Venom''': (face splits, revealing Eddie on one side and Venom on the other) We...are Venom!\\
''[cue Venom opening his mouth and rushing towards the screen]''

-->'''Venom:''' ''(after Eddie takes out goons with Venom's help)'' Outstanding! Now, let's bite all their heads off and pile them up in the corner.\\
'''Eddie:''' ''(unnerved)'' Why would we do that?

'''Venom:''' ''Fuel in the tank''.

-->'''Drake''': This is the last time I'm gonna ask you. ''Where is my symbiote?''\\
'''Eddie''': I have no idea.\\
'''Riot''': '''''[[SuddenlyShouting WHEEERRE IS HE?! WHEEERRRE'S VENOM?!!]]'''''

-->'''Venom:''' You come in here, [[RuleOfThree again]]...in fact, you go ''anywhere'' in this city, ''[[EvilIsPetty preying]]'' on innocent people [[ParanoiaFuel and we will find you]], [[ToThePain and eat both your arms, and then both of your legs, and then we will eat your]] ''[[FacialHorror face]]'' [[ToThePain right off your head.]] Do you understand?\\
'''Criminal:''' ...Please-\\
'''Venom:''' ''[[ButThouMust Yes!]]'' So, you will be this [[FateWorseThanDeath armless...legless, faceless]] ''[[HumanoidAbomination thing]]'', won't you? Rolling down the street - [[ToiletHumor like a turd, in the wind.]] Do you feel me?\\
'''Criminal:''' WhatTheHellAreYou\\
'''Venom:''' ''(half of face opens to reveal Eddie's)'' [[VoiceOfTheLegion We...are Venom.]] [[PreMortemOneLiner On second thought...]]\\
'''Criminal:''' Please...\\

* While Eddie is the hero of this story he makes sure to remind that the symbiote itself is still as bad as ever when he compares having it to having a ''demon''.

*** That broken bones one is painful to watch despite how short the shot is. Eddie's leg is bent into a "J" shape and Venom just floods over it and ''[[WorstAid snaps it back into shape.]]''

** Venom holds a man by the neck in a grocery and after describing what he's going to do to the man, concludes it with both Eddie ''and'' Venom saying "We are Venom." We are then treated to [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou a POV shot]] of the criminal where [[EatTheCamera Venom opens his mouth and engulfs the entire screen.]] Tom Hardy's "biting people's head off issue" quote wasn't a joke.

'''Venom''': (face splits, revealing Eddie on one side and Venom on the other) We...are Venom! \\

*** The criminal's reaction to Venom's threat is horrifyingly humanizing for him. He's barely able to choke out a plea of [[LittleNo "No... no..."]] as Venom threatens to eat his limbs and he looks on the verge of crying as the Symbiote's ToThePain speech continues. The worst thing is that all Venom's doing to hold him in place is to put his hand on the criminal's shoulder. The Criminal seems either paralyzed in fear at what's inevitably going to happen to him, or is too afraid to run because he thinks Venom will do something ''worse'' to him if he tries.
** Blink and you’ll miss it but as the symbiote reforms to cover Eddie's face you can see Brock smile before eating the thugs head off. Brock is starting to ''enjoy'' the symbiotes ImAHumanitarian tendencies. This is especially notable as Eddie in the comics was against these tendencies.

* The Riot symbiote doesn't care about its hosts, going so far as to possess a frail old woman and a little girl, then gradually eating them from the inside out before moving onto another host. Even worse, it is shown that a symbiote has no use for a brain dead host, and whenever Venom takes control of Eddie, Eddie can see and hear everything that's happening but he has enough autonomy to voice an opinion. These three victims have nothing like that, but they were all likely [[AndIMustScream still fully aware and conscious as a homicidal symbiote piloted around their bodies from one place to the other.]]
** Out of the three of Riot's victims, the first one, the paramedic probably had it the worst. She was just doing her job, getting a barely alive astronaut into the ambulance to take him to a hospital when suddenly silver tentacles burst from the man's face and grab her and kill the driver of the ambulance causing a terrible crash. Her body, now being used as a puppet tears a hole in the solid metal ambulance and begins shambling down the road even as her leg which is so broken that there is ''an obvious bone shard jutting out'' slowly begins to heal.
** The mother load of AdultFear that comes with the young girl being taken over by Riot. Imagine being that young, on a trip with your parents who are absolutely doing their best to make sure you don't get lost in the crowds. Then you go into the washroom with your mother and suddenly this...evil beast that you have obviously never heard of or seen before just takes over your body, controls every inch of your being including your vocal chords and [[AndIMustScream you have no way to tell anyone that something is wrong]].

* When Eddie finds Maria, a homeless woman he's friends with, imprisoned at the Life Foundation, he tries to get her out but triggers an alarm, which floods her containment chamber with gas, possibly killing her. By the time Eddie manages to break her out, the Venom symbiote that was residing in her has taken over and forces itself on him.

* [[https://youtu.be/EDbIgO70hKo This clip]], shows Venom fighting off a squad team, and he is ''brutal''. Leaping onto a balcony, he yanks one man off and sends him plummeting to the ground. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, he grabs the poor guys and throws him around like a ragdoll, knocking out the other officers. The terrifying thing is just how ''effortlessly'' he takes out the whole squad. It's like the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 "Puny God" scene]], but played for ''horror''.

* Eddie and Venom are escaping Drake's squad on motorcycle, but a moment's inattention results in them getting hit by a truck. Eddie is pretty badly injured, lying on the road with his limbs twisted at unnatural angles. Then Venom fully emerges as Treece threatens them, healing Eddie is a cringe-inducing process.

* Cletus Kasady only makes less than 2 minutes worth of appearance, yet his very presence can send a chill down your spine. The guy's an insane serial killer whom even the FBI are afraid of and is placed inside a maximum security cell. When Eddie meets the guy, Cletus is already expecting him and is writing "Welcome Eddie" on his cell walls with his blood and talks about patterns of arterial spray. Worst of all? What he has to say...

** And this time he doesn't stop at just the head. '''He swallows the guy in whole!'''

-->'''Cletus''': When I get out of here, and I ''will''... There's gonna be '''[[ComicBook/{{Carnage}} carnage]]'''.
