* The Dark Portal itself. Not only is it fueled by the life-force of countless prisoners and innocents, but traveling through the swirling gate is not as easy as walking through a door, as poor Draka finds out. [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace When she enters into the portal, she finds herself helpless floating through a dark nebulous void that could only be the Twisting Nether]]. She writhes in pain as she still has her baby in her womb and when she finally reaches Azeroth, [[AdultFear her son was born a stillborn]] from the nightmarish journey. And unlike in the games, the first band of orcs arrived on Azeroth from the ground in a one-way trip initially.

** The result of his life-draining power on Durotan is not pretty to see. In fact, it's so horrifying that Orgrim Doomhammer is then able to drop an ArmorPiercingQuestion by asking if the orcs want to follow a "demon" like Gul'dan, leading to the rest of the Horde (albeit momentarily) turning on the warlock.

Again, momentarily: [[HopeSpot this shining, triumphant moment]] is cut short when Gul'dan brings the entire Horde back under his thumb by brutally and effortlessly draining three orcs to dust and rounding on the others.

When Gul'dan starts to slowly disintegrate him from that hand by a metal claw, which gets really up, something only Durotan's intervention saves him from, it's worse. The truly creepy once it is fel-powered.
part comes when Gul'dan imbues Blackhand with the fel; the distorted, blade-fingered prosthetic he's taken to wearing by that point ''fuses'' to his arm, spider-webbing of green flesh crawling over the metal for a horrific, half-rotted look.

* The first fight between the orcs and the humans showcases just how terrifying the orcs can be when on the warpath. They initially blitz right over the humans -- there's even a blink and you'll miss it shot of one orc doing a NeckLift on a ''horse'' without any sign of strain.
* Medivh singlehandedly turning that first fight against the orcs by using a spell to "ignite" the fel corruption inside the orcs is kind of awesome, but watching them scream and flail as they burn to ashes from the inside out is... unpleasant.
