* The scene in "New Dawn" where giant ants devour a ''Gastornis'' chick alive is particularly horrific, depicting the chick struggling to hatch from its egg as the ants swarm all over its body, leaving only its skeleton behind once they're done. This, along with [[TearJerker the mother returning only to find the remains of her chick]], may make you shudder the next time you see an anthill.
** From the same episode, the giant flightless bird ''Gastornis'' is shown killing its prey by ''shaking it to death'' while its victim, a ''Propalaeotherium'', gives off strangled shrieks that almost sound like growls. The ''Propalaeotherium'''s death is so drawn-out and savage that it manages to be truly brutal even though it's BloodlessCarnage - though you ''do'' hear the SickeningCrunch of its neck vertebrae being snapped. Thank goodness ''Gastornis'' turned out to actually be a herbivore in real life.

* Part two of the "Walking With Beasts" behind the scenes documentary, titled "The Beasts Within". Namely, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maq3OLowcg0 the ending]]. The narrator states that despite our feelings of power over the Earth and its animals, humanity is vulnerable. If we were to experience the sudden onset of another ice age, our "complex and fragile" society could easily fall apart. He then tries to assure us that it '''probably''' won't happen in our lifetime...and then shows a meteor heading towards the Earth. The makers [[MoodWhiplash quickly try to lighten the mood]] by playing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" over some silly circus antics, but the words are hard to ignore. At least the ending of the original program left our impending doom vague enough for people to miss it, but here, they outright state it.
* ''Series/WalkingWithCavemen'' may as well be retitled "Walking with Nightmare Fuels" as well, it's full of these from the start to the end... especially about the exaggerated realism of some death scenes.
** The fact that some of our ancestors in the program are portrayed with a rather... grotesque look makes this program even scarier. That means that we are descendants of Nightmare Fuels. Every person that you see every day, including you, is descended from those Nightmare Fuels. So we are surrounded by Nightmare Fuel every day.

* The "Prehistoric Planet" re-cut has one rather unnerving moment. When the ''Nanuqsaurus'' (what was previously referred to as ''Gorgosaurus'' in the film) appears, there's a brief aside where the narrator goes over some of its characteristics. Among these is the usual "human for scale" image seen in plenty of other educational dinosaur media. But in this case, the scale human is alive, sees the dinosaur standing right next to them, and runs away. The ''Nanuqsaurus'' then chases them offscreen and you hear what sounds like the ''Nanuqsaurus'' killing the human. This can be very jarring to those who are used to the image merely providing the creature's size, although a lot of BlackComedy is also at play.

* The forest fire in "Time of the Titans". The narrator makes it clear that there are trapped dinosaurs who are terrified and will not survive. Then it even pans onto a dead, charred ornithopod after all is said and done.
* The distressed sounds the ''Iguanodon'' makes and its look of horror when it's being killed by the ''Utahraptor'', even though is again a BloodlessCarnage.
* There's a particularly squicky scene at the end of "Giant of the Skies", wherein the deceased ''Ornithocheirus'' protagonist is scavenged by one of his own kind. Said scavenger starts by ''[[EyeScream pulling out the dead pterosaur's eyeball]]'' and eating it.

* Part two of the "Walking With Beasts" behind the scenes documentary, titled "The Beasts Within". Namely, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maq3OLowcg0 the ending]]. The narrator states that despite our feelings of power over the Earth and its animals, humanity is vulnerable. If we were to experience the sudden onset of another ice age, our "complex and fragile" society could easily fall apart. He then tries to assure us that it '''probably''' won't happen in our lifetime...and then shows a meteor heading towards the Earth. The makers [[MoodWhiplash quickly try to lighten the mood]] by playing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" over some silly circus antics, but the words are hard to ignore. At least the ending of the original program left our impending doom vague enough for people to miss it, but here, they outright state it.

* Maybe these ancestors ''were not'' so Nightmare Fuelish in RealLife... but producers thought well to make them as scary as possible because of the umpteenth RuleOfCool example. However, see the australopithecine's look in WWB, they are even nice-looking... It seems many WWD continuations ''really like'' to play straight the DarkerAndEdgier trope (not only ''Walking with Monsters''). Anthropologists often say if Neanderthals would be alive today and clothed, they'll pass unnoticed in our modern cities.
** And even then, the ''books'' based on each series are ''worse'', and employ vivid descriptions of other deaths unseen in the series. It's true NothingIsScarier.
* The distressed sounds the ''Iguanodon'' makes and its look of horror when it's being killed by the ''Utahraptor'', even though is again a BloodlessCarnage.
* The whole premise of ''Sea Monsters'' is a group of time-travelers trying to dive with and study very dangerous prehistoric creatures, so there are naturally quite a few scary moments, even though the humorous tone tries to keep it light. Special mention goes to the break between Part 2 and Part 3 where it looks like Nigel has been eaten by a ''C. megalodon'', and TheStinger showing mosasaurs approaching the sonar screen as the crew sleeps.
