* The {{Exmortis}} series and most of the works of Ben Leffer.
** Has quite a lot of this. Some of it branches off into [[ParanoiaFuel Paranoia Fuel]] instead, while some of it decides to take it [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel to 11]]
* The game [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/504266 Vorago]], though made with intent to scare, had some parts with over-the-top nightmareish-ness. Watch the walkthroughs [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_Kt_Lebgw&feature=channel_page here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4OB58zBjq4&feature=channel_page here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50qycWWng30&feature=channel_page here]], and finally [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Dd9D5O8&feature=channel_page here]]. This troper found the part after [[spoiler: the protagonist's husband gets stung by the monsters]] to be the most scare-worthy.
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/480006 Closure.]] This flash game is just plain freakin' unsettling. Especially when you start figuring out what it's about. It's a fun game in spite of it though, with a great gameplay mechanic.
* ''[[DieAnstalt Die Anstalt: Psychiatry for Mishandled Plush Toys]].'' Everything that made ToyStory worthy of an entry on the Nightmare Fuel pages, but with severe mental disturbances. Take Dolly: After ''that'' BodyHorror and MushroomSamba, not to mention the expression on [[spoiler: the wolf]], [[Tropers/JET73L This Troper]] will never look at [[spoiler: reversible stuffed toys]] the same way again. And failing to help is even worse, because if you can't rescue everyone in one try (''no second chance''), it leads to the TethercatPrinciple.
** [[YourMilageMayVary Your Milage May Vary]] on that one. [[Tropers/TacoNinja This one]] is in love with the game and thinks the characters are adorable. Plus if you ''do'' manage to save everyone in one go, it amounts to a massive [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (and it will probably make you want to buy all the character toys).
* [[http://jayisgames.com/games/the-house/ The House]]
* There is this game on the internet called [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/69276 Ghost Motel]], but I beg of you DON'T PLAY IT!!!!
** Oh, god, I thought I'd put it to rest for good, but around 7 or 8 years later, someone HAS to remind me of it. [[spoiler: Note to self - NEVER let curiosity get the better of you if you hear weeping coming from a nearby room.]]
** Oh yeah? in one of the episodes, you have to search the motel for a demon that escaped. in one of the rooms, that corpse is still there,rotting. Gave me the Goosebumps.
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/5394l CLARIS. AUTOPSY.]] "Claris is dead! Find out why!" This game is the opposite of a dress up doll. You take off her clothes (she wears a leaf under them), her skin, and her muscles. Oh yeah, (spoilers in case you wanted to spook yourself)[[spoiler: She's not dead. You can see her heart beat. If you try to click it to bring attention to this-WHOOPSLOL NOW WE KNOW WHY SHEZ DED LOL!]]
** (rocks back and forth) I think I just suffered the troper equivalent of a HeroicBSOD.
* [[http://hotel626.com/ Hotel 626]]. Start off with the fact that it's only possible to play it between 6pm and 6am. When you ''can'' play the game, it's basically you playing a guest trying to escape an incredibly freaky hotel which is full of dark and demonic forces. Among other things, you must play a music box to keep a [[CreepyChild scary baby]] asleep, figure out how to escape from a room which you are locked in with a mad man ([[spoiler:after three tries, he unties himself, turns out the light, and game over]]), and get dragged down the hall by evil spirits. [[spoiler:And when you do finally escape, you get a cool down moment where the guest sits in his car and starts to pull out of the driveway while calming music plays. Before looking in the rearview mirror and seeing a corpse-like creature in the back seat.]]
** The strangest part about it? Hotel 626 was made to promote Doritos. '''[[MundaneMadeAwesome DORITOS!]]'''
** There is now the wonderful game Asylum 626! As with the hotel, it's only playable from 6pm to 6am and is more of a barely interactive short movie than a game. You do, however, have to make a decision on who to kill at the end. Fun Fun!
* [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/HeroInteractive/microbe-kombat Microbe Kombat]] is a simple game where you are trying to eat your rival microbes and grow. [[NightmareFetishist Sounded fun for]] [[Tropers/AstraKiseki this disease loving troper]]. No. She had to turn off the game because of TheVirus baddies that turn up and can infect you and your enemies, and if you aren't careful, you'll explode and just leave more of the Virus behind. She was literally screaming like a baby during the last stage she could handle. Dear god, the rival microbes infected. *shudder* *sob*
** And then you realized these kinds of stuff happens in the body all the time when someone gets sick, fortunately, we have white blood cells and T cells.
* [[http://www.e4.com/game/get-lost/play.e4 Get Lost]] allows you to explore the "unsafe and most assuredly haunted grounds" right away. The place is largely harmless, however...with the exception of one room, which contains an old woman's corpse in a chair and a portrait of a child nestled in the corner. Clicking on the corpse itself does nothing. However, if you click the portrait, the screen goes black, a close-up of the corpse appears for a split second, and you die. But it's never explained ''how'' or ''why'' you die, which somehow makes it ten times worse.
* MonsterBasement, a flash game series, has a bit of this, for examples, [[http://armorgames.com/play/192/monster-basement play it right here!]]
** totheark's video responses. Just... totheark's video responses.
* The MinotoSeries is a bunch of cute point-and-click adventure games which are about as far from Nightmare Fuel as you can get...until ''[[http://mac.rash.jp/games/dasyutu/a141/en/index.html Present of Santa 2.]]'' Go two screens right from the start and you come to a scene with a locker. Open the locker, and you're treated to [[spoiler:a huge, writhing orange thing with bulging eyes, a gaping mouth and vestigial limbs constantly wiggling.]] It's actually just [[spoiler:the Sun Boy from previous games who's gotten ridiculously fat and wedged inside the locker,]] but some of the Escape Games 24 players have gotten a nasty shock from it.
* There's a site which has a game called "Find the ghost of Elvis in this picture" in which you have to try spot the ghost of deceased rock icon ElvisPresley, his beautiful singing voice echoing in the background while you look around for him...and ''then all of a sudden this monstrous ghoul thing'' appears on screen.
** This site sounds like a ''Screamer'', an innocuous website that lulls a casual viewer into a false sense of security by offering a game or some other activity which requires their concentration and then, ''Bam!'' Instant picture of a possessed Linda Blair with loud accompanying train whistle. The internet equivalent of sneaking up behind someone with a scary mask and tapping them on the shoulder.
*** As parodied in one ''ICarly'' online video.
---->'''Spencer:''' Okay, you may not believe this, but my robot can actually cry. Here, look into its eyes.
---->''(camera moves in closer)''
---->'''Spencer:''' Now just keep looking. You'll see the tears in about 15 seconds.
---->''(About 5 seconds later...)''

** Even Lego gets in on the act - on the Bionicle Piraka website, an innocuous join-the-dots routine flashes and roars when you get to the eleventh dot.
* The first episode of the point-n-click adventure game ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/aliceisdead Alice is Dead]]'' is [[RefugeInAudacity funny]]. The second episode starts that way as well, but quickly takes a turn for the chilling.
* The dreaded manticore of [[http://www.atrianglemorning.com/games/flash.php Which Way Adventure]] can be startling to those who are not expecting it (and you will not be expecting it) but woe betide the poor fool who goes to the circus and chooses to become a manticore keeper without knowing about it in advance. Anyone who has already encountered the manticore knows that this option is basically suicide, so it's more entertaining than scary. However, the oblivious find themselves faced with a sleeping hellspawned beast, and are given the option to either hold their breath, look for something to feed it, sneak past it or simply stay very still. Regardless of which option you choose, the manticore wakes up and stares at you evilly, which is punctuated by an ominous scare chord. Again, you are given the four options, and again, none of them work...and once you've made your choice, you are treated to a terrifying roar, a close-up of the manticore's face, and your death.
** Also, the ship. Normally, being here means you're on one of the (many) paths that allow you to "win" the game. However, if you make your way here after the world is laid to ruin by a time-travelling Hitler (don't ask) you end up in a much darker area, and if you look closely, when you're about to go into the ship's bridge you can just about make out a face peering at you from the shadows ahead. There is no option to go back at this point; either you stop playing the game or you walk straight into the jaws of what turns out to be a zombie, again, complete with nightmarish close-up and sudden, horrible screech. Thankfully, this is followed by a brief but amusing sequence where you become a zombie yourself and go out in search of brains, which kind of takes the edge off.
*** Also also, arachnophobes are sure to have a field day with the path where you fall asleep and are turned into a butterfly and end up trapped in a spider web and no matter what option you choose a spider quickly descends upon you and eats you alive. Sweet dreams.
*** [[Tropers/TheGunheart This troper]] tried the bit with the Manticore and was unimpressed. Then, when starting a new game, he chose the manhole, and OMGITSTHATMANTICOREAGAIN! I have no idea if this was a glitch or not...
*** It's not a glitch. [[Tropers/GreatPikminFan This troper]] saw a video of it, and figured out that every time you get killed by a manticore, you have to face it twice before being able to play again.
**** Not every time. If you get the elusive "DOUBLE GAME OVER" by being killed by both the manticore and a giant spider, then I guess the game takes pity on you.
* [[http://www.e4.com/game/curse-of-the-red-ninja/play.e4 Curse of the Red Ninja]] is something of a spiritual successor to Get Lost, and is largely just an adventure game with an element of surreal humor. Just don't go into the dark forest and disturb the nest of sinister-looking birds, because a "protective Tengu mother" will appear right the hell out of nowhere and put a sudden and definitive end to both your fun and your ability to sleep.
* [[http://www.peta.org/cooking-mama/index.asp This]] inexplicable attack on ''CookingMama'' from PETA. It may not to lead to any converts to the cause, but probably a few nightmares.
** This troper adored the game. I found it very cute, and fun to play.
* [[ColourMySeries Colour My Dreams]] is full of this. From shadowy demons who suddenly leap offscreen to taunting messages written in blood, it's [[MoodWhiplash quite the departure]] from the previous games. The ending is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming worth the fear]], though.
* [[YourMileageMayVary Some people]] find the {{Submachine}} series disturbing because of the emptiness of the places you explore and the eerie soundtrack, and/or for the sense of being watched and not knowing who to trust. You find evidence that other people have been there before you, including notes left for you, but so far you only really have two-way communication with [[spoiler:Murtaugh]], and not very often at all... [[spoiler:and he is ''far'' from trustworthy]]. Also, while many of the locations look like they've been abandoned for a very long time, some places look as though people ''were'' there recently and had to leave in a hurry -- and every now and then you'll go someplace you've been before that has apparently been visited in your absence by someone or something who likes to break things.
** From ''[[http://www.submachineworld.com/subnet.html Submachine Network Exploration Experience]]'':
*** "Report #173" at location [[spoiler:399]] deals with the recurring themes of memory loss and disorientation, and suggests that [[spoiler:the Submachine itself]] could be causing people to lose their memories, [[spoiler:confusing and trapping them, and "harnessing their biomatter"]].
*** Location [[spoiler:712]]. The combination of the gun camera stills and the sounds -- a faint, steady electronic tone, interrupted by quick bursts of hard-to-make-out human voices, beeping, and static -- is very unsettling. Most of the soundtracks and background noises for the entire series are creepy, but [[YourMileageMayVary this one in particular stands out]].

* On the subject of websites, [[Tropers/{{Demetrios}} I]] made a rather grave mistake once. One night, while looking for pictures of succubi, I happened upon this strange-sounding link that involved the word "bernadinism", after its maker Alva Bernadine. I took a look inside, and found the pictures all right. But the succubi depicted were [[BodyHorror horrible]] [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian monsters]] (as opposed to [[EvilIsSexy the more traditional depiction of them as beautiful women]]). Unfortunately, not even the soothing music of Laura Turner helped. But don't worry, this story does have a HappyEnding: I found a cure in playing ''FinalFantasyX''. But to this day, I still wonder [[WhatWereYouThinking what the people at Elle Magazine were thinking when they hired Bernadine]] (he once worked there as a photographer).

*** For those who are looking for actual information, Zaldgo is and was a meme based around a fictional EldritchAbomination representing decay and chaos through the use of TheMissingNo-esque scrambled images and garbage characters similar to the above. The creepy thing about Zalgo mythology is that it does exist simply because people act like it exists. The moment you mention it's name, it appears, in the form of everyone around you saying his words in his voice. Every time he is mentioned. He can't do anything to you if you don't want him to. He exists because you want him to exist. ''And there's nothing you can do about it.''
*** The other creepy thing is that Zalgo's influence on people is generally rendered as EyeScream, usually in the form of blood or some other discharge from the eyes.
* The [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/horrifying-house-guest-shadowlurker Shadowlurker]], a.k.a Horrifying House Guest, Never Alone or Uninvited Guest, a being that could best be described as a mix between Trollface and Kayako from JuOn / TheGrudge.
** [[NightmareRetardant I WILL RIDE A BICYCLE OF NIGHTMARES INTO YOUR ASSHOLE.]]
* The numerous online references to [[http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/peppers.asp Brian Peppers]].
* Everybody knows of [[RozenMaiden Suiseiseki]] because of '[[MemeticMutation DESU DESU DESU]]', yes? Well, another Suiseiseki-based meme has been unleashed onto the internet -- the super-deformed (emphasis on the ''deformed'') Jissouseki, which was introduced onto 2ch to much revulsion... until the frequenters started drawing fanart of the little things crapping on themselves and [[{{Gorn}} getting tortured in the most horrific ways possible]]. It's enough to make your skin crawl. DO '''NOT''' google it if you've got an extremely weak stomach.
** Related to this phenomenon are the yukkuris -- blobby, deformed heads of ''{{Touhou}}'' characters that implore you to "[[CatchPhrase TAKE IT EASY!]]" Unfortunately, for every cute yukkuri fanart on the internet, there's always one where the poor things are tortured and killed, among other atrocities. This is partly justified by the fact that {{Fanon}} has declared that they're filled with bean paste and not blood, but still...
*** ''Still?'' The bean paste gives people all the more incentive to chalk up fanart and fanfics of them being subject to all kinds of monstrosities. Most of the fics on the Yukkuri Wiki (i.e. [[http://yukkuri.wikia.com/wiki/This_Yukkuri "This Yukkuri"]]) involve yukkuri cruelty. [[TearJerker I can't take it easy!]]
*** Though yukkuris have an unfortunate tendency to be slaughtered mercilessly, sometimes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=b_2U3H8E6dA&feature=related they're the ones that do the killing]]... (Restored. We all need the counterpart to YOSIS' TastesLikeDiabetes Nitori remix... or do we?)
*** Since depictions of yukkuris are completely DependingOnTheWriter[=/=]DependingOnTheArtist, a great many abuse fans tend to see them as AlwaysChaoticEvil little pests so as to flimsily justify the torture and murder inflicted upon them. 'course, that excuse falls flat since portrayals are Depending On The Person, thus yukkuris don't necessarily have to be pests.
*** Yukkuri abuse? Pah, that's nothing. For real nightmare fuel I give you the comic ''[[http://yukkuri.shii.org/pool/show/185 Make Babies Easy (NSFW)]]'', which shows what happens when a Reimu that wants children shacks up with a Marisa that doesn't. (Answer: utter bugfuck insanity.)

[[folder: Stories]]
* [[DarthWiki/CandleCove Candle Cove.]]
* [[http://www.castleofspirits.com/stories01/ghandi.html This]] story about how a little girl saw a horrifying demon in her window that had blood-dripping fangs. You may never hear Rick Springfeild's "Hole In My Heart" the same way again after reading this story. From a [[http://www.castleofspirits.com/storypg.html website]] purporting to contain true ghost stories.
* On the subject of "true" stories: I can't believe no one mentioned r/nosleep. Best damn stories on the internet, and even the lower rated ones are full of HONF.
* ''{{SailorNothing}}'': [[spoiler:Ami]]. Damn, even the mental image gives nightmares. [[spoiler:A villain who seeks to refine evil as an artform abducts her, physically and mentally breaks her, and then presents her as his masterpiece to the rest of the cast.]]
** ''Most'' of ''SailorNothing''. Good luck enjoying ''SailorMoon'' ''now'' you [[WideEyedIdealist over-optimistic fools]].
* Sam Hughes' ''[[http://qntm.org/?gorge Gorge]]'' is about humans happening upon a planet that happens to be a perfect sphere with no atmosphere. Kinetic probes find that the planet's substance is mostly magnesium. They send a drone down, and lose contact immediately. And with another. And another. Then they realize the planet was destroyed by a GreyGoo scenario. [[spoiler:Then the planet starts launching rockets.]] The story ends with [[spoiler:the flagship running for Earth, while all the other survey ships are consumed behind them, the nanoships expanding in all directions. The fastest human ship will take six months to reach earth, and the narration points out [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the nanomachines hadn't learned about spaceflight, not until they sent the drones down]].]]
* The darker and/or more perverted stories on FurAffinity often show that one man's FetishFuel is another's HighOctaneNightmareFuel--for instance, stories in the "Belial" series often feature people being permanently merged together for the rest of their natural existence (e.g. a woman choosing to turn into a penis attached to another woman.) The fact that many of these stories are consensual can actually make it creepier.
** Speaking of FurAffinity, a user named Nequ writes ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' {{Rule 34}}. You have been warned.
*** ''Technically'', it's doing to transformation fetishism what SCP does to UrbanFantasy; look at it in a realistic setting. They've stated several times that the stories are supposed to be horror, and participants are rarely doing it consensually. Quite the opposite.
* [[http://www.journalfen.net/users/charlottelennox/784.html The Ms. Scribe Story]] is a perfect example of the depths of depravity to which people will sink in the name of [[{{BNF}} fandom involvement]]--and how [[KarmaHoudini rewarding]] such unconscionable actions can be. The story's finale is even worse: by then, you learn [[MoralEventHorizon what sort of person]] the ''real'' Ms. Scribe is.
* Many transformation and mind control stories can be this, even more so with a little FridgeLogic. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030406190728/www.cyberium.net/multibrst/gstory/BrstMagi.htm Breasts of the Magi]], for example, takes place in a world where the World of Fae re-synced with this world after a few hundred years absence. almost all of the Fae happen to look like really hot women. They tend to have very high libidos, and their standard method of proposing sex with a man is to corner them, kiss them, and stick their hand down their pants. That's right; it's sexual assault. This could be standard for fantasies, but later on in the story, some guy hides an aerosol can that causes breast growth and high libido in the girls' locker room. Not only does it cause date rape, but it turns the victims' effectively bisexual, and changes their bodies. Two "minor wish" spells combine in such a way as to cause the male lead to change shape repeatedly over several hours, including one which gives birth to several rapidly maturing kittens, and another which itself can cause alterations in others and make an entire bookstore a Zone of Arousal, so to speak, just by writing runes with a magic marker. And to top off the UnfortunateImplications sundae, it is twice mentioned how these events won't hurt anyone. Maybe a few pregnancies, [[DarthWiki.WallBanger but nothing serious]].
** [[http://bit.ly/c2C0kM Latex Bloom]] is about latex plant symbionts that invade womens'...lower bits, and keep them in a constant state of sexual excitement and orgasm. They can also act as pseudopenises. That's weird enough, but the protagonist ends up with one, then spends several weeks with her infected cousin and infected botanist aunt, whose greenhouse spawned the parasites in the first place. Infected gradually get better bodies, and have an enhanced libido and very compelling scent. The trio later progress from just incest to actively trying to infect people with these parasites, and the protagonist rapes a random girl in public through use of her tentacle(and [[ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt said girl]] [[RapeIsLove likes it]]). And they want to take over the world with it. Well, they're under the influence of the parasite, right? Well, no; the aunt specifically points out that all the parasite does is make them feel good, and [[MoreThanMindControl everything they've been doing has been done of their own free will]]. Which means that either the parasite makes them ''think'' they're still free, or it's basically turned them into sociopaths ''without'' using mind control.
** The "New Found Form" series involves a series of artifacts that turns people into and gives them the power to transform others into hypersexed furries, usually hermaphrodites. This allows for several interesting forms, including two people fusing into a bear-lizard hybrid, and a dinosaur-spider hybrid. The infection can be spread through nearly anything, including dairy products and ''the Internet''.
* An author with the online handle WyldBlue has some conjoinment horror stories, such as "Tounge-Tied," in which a woman [[spoiler:woke up in a tiny room ''with her tongue fused to another woman's tongue.'' Neither of the women felt any urge to eat or sleep...''and so they stayed, stuck in that tiny room without an exit, for what seems like forever.'']] I could not sleep that night and haven't been back to that site, wherever it was, since.
** I have seen that story too. The mention that the other woman was "an unattractive Asian", the part where they both get a cold, and when their tongues shorten and pull them into a kiss did nothing to sell it to me. I used to be interested in conjoinment fics until I found how they almost always have elements of RapeIsLove in them. They're just ugly.
*** I stumbled upon [[http://tsa.transform.to/misc/adsorbingpassion.html one story]] ('''Warning: Extreme Squick-fuel)''' involving a sort of merger vampire, that appeared as a woman. If a man had sex with her, he'd become stuck, and eventually be absorbed into her body over a period of weeks. Then she'd turn into him, slowly, complete with his memories, plus the memories of all the previous victims. The lovingly described changes don't help. The initial protagonist figures out how to reverse the changes so she is absorbed into the man instead, effectively killing her. [[spoiler:Then the man gets a blowjob. His lover gets stuck...]] And yes, it's explicitly called "love".
*** The author of that story remarked that he had no good ending for it. Someone else came up with one [[http://www.geocities.ws/franzkafka79/pass3.html here]], in which [[spoiler:the latest victim ''severs their conjoined spinal cord with a knife'', killing them both to prevent the cycle from repeating]].
** I know exactly which site, and that story is nothing compared to another one there called "Mergeopolis". Every day at a certain time, the entire populace gathers in a huge auditorium. Two names are called in slow succession, and they must approach the stage -- electric barriers and a numbing effect are used if necessary -- and are forced to conjoin, a process described as excruciating. As the two latest... choices... undergo this transformation and are led away, the narrator expresses relief that her name was not called. [[spoiler:Then she freezes, realizing that someday ''it will''.]]
* [[http://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/page1.html Ted's Caving Story]] Even with the misspellings and early internet aesthetic, it's still known to be very, very eerie.
* ''JohnDiesAtTheEnd'' has plenty of examples, but in one of the earliest instances, there were tiny little white worms of supernatural origin. They could fly through the air and drill their way into a person's skin. Once inside a host's soft tissues, a single one could swiftly convert the body mass into a swarm, exploding out at any time. A swarm could infest a person's entire body, turning them into a mind-controlled meat puppet that can choose to act indistinguishably from the original person. Each worm has intelligence comparable to that of a human, and they also hate you so much that just being in the same room as them can cause you physical pain. Despite this, the book is quite funny.
* [[http://harrietrants.deviantart.com/art/The-Dog-216584715?q=gallery%3Aharrietrants%2F25789930&qo=7 This story]], titled "The Dog". The worst part being the fact that the writer insists that it's ''true'', and it's hard not to believe them.
* In ''{{Cradleland}}'', the ''ba'thulaz'' eat brains of living creatures. And no, they do not kill them before eating them, but use the razor-sharp teeth in their lamprey-like mouths to cut open the skull and extract the brain while the organism is still alive. And they prefer the brains of sapient organisms- like humans.
* Cor has written hundreds of vignettes and short stories about invisible, amorphous, sociopathic tickle monsters and their victims. The stories range from {{BlackComedy}}, [[FetishFuel Porn]] and more often than not veer into outright {{HighOctaneNightmareFuel}}. For anyone ticklish enough to be tortured by it this is about as scary as it gets.

''Shadow Unit'': the woman who makes people choke to death on their tongues, the man who can walk unseen in front of a camera and erase himself from human memory, the woman who can kill you at a distance through sheer freakish bad luck -- and ''then'' there's [[spoiler: William Villette]], a serial rapist whose power is ''influencing people's emotions''; some of his victims, years later, still believe that they deserved what he did to them, and that's only the backstory to [[spoiler: what he does to Chaz, who incidentally happens to be his son.

I just have to let the wings come out."]] (And that's just the ''major plot points'' -- some of the [[http://wiki.shadowunit.org/index.php/Category:Gammas cases mentioned in passing]] are... yeah.)
** "Guy was just... cold. And It showed him how to get warm. S'why he tucked them in when he was done with 'em."

* ''[[http://www.dionaea-house.com/ The Dionaea House]]'' Something along the lines of "BlairWitchProject" meets "HouseOfLeaves", this 4 part web-based story will definitely make you uneasy of scary noises in your house. Crowning Moments of Scary goes to Mark's texts when he finds [[spoiler: the second house]], each getting faster and shorter culminating in "[[spoiler: THE DOOR IS OPEN]]", and Danielle's blog and her experience with [[spoiler: the bathtub]].[[spoiler: red rover red rover let Jenny come over.]]
* ''TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome''. A fan created setting based in the Warhammer 40k universe, except it's the Fifty-first millennium instead of the Forty-first. And everything went to hell. Certain examples of High-Octane Nightmare Fuel that come to mind include the account of the Tersis's voyage into the Deep Warp, the Blood Angels giving into the blood thirst completely, the New Devourer, the Ophilim Kiasoz, and most notably, at least in this troper's opinion, the Star Father. Imagine the Emperor ascended to godhood the day he died and decided the best way to protect humanity is to dominate it utterly, mind, soul, and flesh.

* Tricky from ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat''. This MonsterClown JUST. WON'T. DIE. [[spoiler:Ever.]]
* The ending of [[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mass this]] animation constantly gives this troper nightmares.
* SaladFingers: A series of animations starring a masochistic green freak with fingers that look like a green Freddy Krueger glove who talks to finger puppets and likes touching rusty spoons and lives in a world with almost nobody else around, and when he meets somebody, he usually freaks out. Also, everything he says appears as text.
** Actually, David Firth's entire output [[http://www.fat-pie.com]] qualifies. Salad Fingers is only the tip of the iceberg.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNfbA6f3WkE&feature=grec_index This]] Youtube video. An entire collection of horror scenes from various games and anime.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2eUUHkpvQA The first episode of GMod Idiot Box]] has a moment you probably should not watch late at night with the lights off.
** Ah, I presume you're talking about [[spoiler: when Chuckles gets thrown into a pit, and after the immortal [[DumbAndDumber "Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"]] phrase, there's a massive close-up of Uberkleiner accompanied by the aforementioned sound]]? Don't worry, there's nightmare retardant in his appearance in episode 7 where [[spoiler: he appears and says the DumbAndDumber quote extremely fast before [[BeamSpam beam spamming]] Chuckles into the air]].
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnMOLZJnCt8 Ah,]]'' a short student-film. It follows a young girl who ''somehow'' falls into a strange world while eating a bowl of alphabet soup...At first it's not ''too'' bad, though a bit ominous. The ground is slightly-soft and cracked, the sky is a brownish color, and look! Letters are floating by! A...H...A...H...The girl decides to follow the letters back to see where they're coming from and...[[ItGotWorse it gets worse.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ2q9NmYf6g This]] ''Lasagna Cat'' video. It's pretty funny until the end, when [[spoiler: Garfield's eyes grow so big, they ''fall off his face and roll on the table, leaving two disturbing empty sockets on his face''.]] Shudder... The fact that it's set to [[BillyIdol "Eyes Without A Face"]] did not help.
** Then it ends with the same creepy image of Jim Davis all the videos end with... only now ''his eyes are moving...''
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_KVsQXeE6A An Arbuckle Thanksgiving]] is a digital edit of the ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials Garfield's Thanskgiving]]'' special and completely removes Garfield. For most of the video, it's pretty silly and doesn't have anything offensive. That is, until [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Jon sits down to eat...]]
** What happens? A curious mind would love to know.
** Took the SchmuckBait for ya. Basically what happens is Jon gets put on a diet, he asks Liz out on a date for Thanksgiving, she eventually gives in, and there's a lot of [[GarfieldMinusGarfield Garfield-removed-related humor]]. Then eventually they sit down to dinner, and Jon remembers he's on a diet, and [[spoiler: completely loses it. The video gives an analysis of his insanity, basically, and then he murders Liz with an chainsaw. The last clip shows a pool of Liz's blood spreading across the floor while Jon talks to Garfield, who of course, is hidden.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms2klX-puUU Story from North America]]. A pencil-drawn music video about a father trying to teach his son why you shouldn't kill spiders. Nightmarish moments include the father squishing one of the giant spider's eggs, the father caressing one of the spider's hairy legs, the father's nipples, and...let's just say that the father in general is HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
* Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ8Zh6AHNVg The worst thing in the world.]]
** I dunno, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUdpFN4O4B0 this]] is definitely in the running -- I had to hit "stop" 34 seconds in.
** Oh no. The worst thing in the world is definitely [[http://www.womanist-musings.com/2012/04/racist-circumcision-cake-featued-at.html this]]. How the hell could anyone find a cake like that remotely appetizing, even WITHOUT the artist's screaming in pain performance?
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0mTEVlJgC8&feature=related This]] trippy, surreal animation right out of Estonia (the very first shot marks it as made-in-Tallinn).
* The darker works of [[http://rainbowanimations.com/ Jeremy Lokken]] definitely count, specifically [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/viewer.php?id=225440&key=JsGmNnXzltOzVxbStiNGYzNzcxMGY4QjI3NzIrMl9xNWIxNjE7Qjc0QlYxOzJWMTJiMTI5ZjcrVnFfOTUxbTk5NzMwMDk4NA%3D%3D Coffee Break]] and [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/viewer.php?id=329529&key=JxHvMxXzJtOzBxbStiM2Y4NzYxM2Y3QjI1OTIrNF9xOGI2NjE7Qjc3QlYxOzJWMTJiODIxZjIrVnFfOTYxbTk5MDkzNDkxNQ%3D%3D The Ugly Duck]].
* Did you have any deep-sea nightmares recently? If so, [[http://scythemantis.deviantart.com/art/Abyssal-108908557 DO NOT LOOK.]] The author of this also made a Pokemon-like monster collection called "Mortasheen" (a horse plague) which range from human-like zombies to altered animals, sentient objects and even puddles with multiple heads. Almost all of them (except the "mistake" class) have pain-inducing or downright lethal powers, of course.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viKf4RqRsTQ This]] trailer for a theoretical ''28 Months Later'' film, which combines clips from various anime series and video games to sound bites from the films to truly terrifying effect.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY&feature=topvideos This]] extremely [[MindScrew trippy]] animation about cows, complete with some very creepy music. I'll be seeing those spider-cow-things in my nightmares.
** The creator of that video, Birmingham-based animator [[http://www.youtube.com/cyriak Cyriak Harris]] specialises in this sort of thing. If memory recalls correctly, he provided the trippy backgrounds in [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses The Nostalgia Critic's]] Top 11 Mindfucks. "Watch them at your own risk", indeed.
* Another Cyriak example: there's one website where they have "Live webcam from inside a particle accelerator". There's a few minutes of normal footage that makes you think it's real, then alarms go off and and a black hole appears and eats the camera, the lab and (presumably) the world. Eeek!
** ''Most'' Cyriak's work fits this trope, including, but not limited to, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBXcybIo3o Queenie]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3S3Txsl2vs BeastEnders]], and the adorably horrifying [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwCojCJ3-Q Meow]]. When he was commissioned to make a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIFSuAJhTlg music video for a girly pop song]], it was predictably less horrifying then usual but it still featured scenes such as a pair of scissors cutting through a landscape made of flesh, interspaced with blinking and moving eyes, and he himself described it as "a foot fetishists nightmare".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d-tNXxTRBA CHAINSAW MAID]] is a disturbing [[StopMotion claymation]] project that I'm not sure I can even begin to describe. Seeing [[spoiler: the red-haired woman vomit out blood and all her internal organs and then collapse face down into them, then after a few moments sit back up with a creepy blank stare and make a terrifying noise that I can only describe as 'hissing']] was enough for me to close the tab and go into my happy place. It's safe to say I won't be getting much sleep tonight. The person who sent it to me thought it was hilarious, so [[YourMileageMayVary your mileage may vary.]]
* Many of [[http://www.youtube.com/user/SecretAgentBob Film Cow's]] Cartoons. Charlie the Unicorn's already been mentioned, but that's just scratching the surface-their other cartoons include sadistic children's show mascots, man-eating Llamas, John McCain's hallucinations, Ferrets who sing joyfully about the Holocaust and murder...and it's all played for laughs.
* ''Kikia''. Similar to the "Find the ghost of Elvis" example above, this famous Flash movie has a very soft Japanese song playing, with a cute picture of a relaxing stick figure... and then a horrible ghost face from ''FatalFrame'' pops up with a bloodcurdling scream from ''nowhere''. Hard cut to black. [[ManCalledTrue This troper]] was so terrified that he had to call his mother (who was ''out of town'') and get talked down from his fear. He was still shaking an hour later.
** There's a similar one on the Tales From The Crypt website. It has an average photo of an ice cream man in his truck,with the instructions to look closer. When you do look closely at it- the Crypt Keeper appears on the screen cackling and the words The Crypt Keeper fooled you also appear.
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ganerer/List_of_computer_pranks The Other Wiki]] has a bumper list of screamers, as compiled by one user. Fortunately, it isn't one itself.
** [[http://www.solidsharkey.com/polybius.html This one]] is particularly cruel, as the page is actually a very interesting read, concerning the urban legend of Polybius. Of course, you can go to wikipedia and get much of the same info.
** This troper has seen one that looks like a typical "Where's Waldo?", and at the bottom of the picture there's text recommending that you turn up the volume to get a hint. Suddenly a ghoul's face pops up on the screen, accompanied by a loud screeching noise. The first time I (unwittingly) watched it with some classmates during school, our screams got us banned from the computers.
** ''Kikia'' had to be one of the first screamers, before the "Scary Maze" made them ''really'' popular. [[SarcasmMode Thanks for reminding me]]; now I know I'm not the only one that saw it, which somehow doesn't provide any comfort whatsoever...

* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/243164 Lilium]]. Merging HighOctaneNightmareFuel, BodyHorror, and SoundtrackDissonance in one convenient package! (NOT for the faint of heart. Or for the pregnant. Or... You get the idea.)
** YMMV on the soundtrack dissonance. At the very least anyone who's seen ElfenLied will associate that song with HONF and TearJerkers.
* Many Shmorky animations on SomethingAwful are LOADED with this kind of stuff. One of his animations is a series of AVGN parodies called "Furious Famicom Faggot". The series progresses with the titular character becoming more and more insane, having bizzare hallucinations and freaking out until finally, in the last episode he dies of a brain tumor.
* Weebl's original Badger Badger Badger was funny and kinda cute. [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers2/ The sequel]] however is truly terrifying.
** The music for the first Badger Badger Badger itself is nightmare-inducing enough. The sequel did not help in the least.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqzESY7SIqU This video]] (has '''flashing lights''') is when colourful and garish turns into horrible and pants-wetting. Also counts as MindScrew.
** I can't stop laughing out loud whenever I'm watching that video... Which is HighOctaneNightmareFuel in itself, as I see absolutely nothing funny in it.
** What I found disturbing was how much the screams brought to mind torture, or even rape.
** Unless it's a prank, there's a fan-made video game of this. ([[http://z4.invisionfree.com/Twin_Elysium/index.php?showtopic=209&view=getnewpost Link to game thread]]; '''NOTE:''' I assume the game also has '''flashing lights''').

* From ThereSheIs, of all things. During Step 4 Nabi has a brief ImagineSpot after seeing Nabi attacked by InterspeciesRomance protesters. It lasts for all of two seconds, but basically it's... [[spoiler: Doki getting more and more beat up, almost as if she's DISINTEGRATING.]] While ''[[StepfordSmiler she's smiling.]]'' Seeing that unsettled this Troper more than most slasher flicks do.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onVnBVIh2OM YoutubePoop: Bubble Buddy slaughters his victims without pity or remorse]]. While the poop itself is funny, the reason for it being scary is because it ties in with the FridgeHorror that is Bubble Buddy from the [[SpongebobSquarepants show itself]]. Not to mention the uploader admitted the video gave him nightmares.
* "Bear Bear" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWA7MqDxFNs. Dear lord that teddy bear with the mismatched eyes is all {{woobie}}ish and cute until it decides that its kid doesn't love him anymore and tries to kill him with the evilest, most insane {{Slasher Smile}} ever animated into a stuffed animal. The red paint on the all black and white background doesn't and increasingly distorted scratched-up inner dialogue help either.

From underneath the pier, a quadrupedal creature follows the bird-creature unseen. Suffice it to say that the bird-creature's fishing trip does not end well at all. Let this be a lesson to us all: [[spoiler: always chew your food carefully.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYk5SumcxQw "By accident!"]]. It's a student film featuring CGI people from the UncannyValley hanging out. [[spoiler: The nightmare fuel gets more and more potent when one of the characters starts seeing [[SlasherSmile slasher smiles]] on the people around him.]]

** In fact, most of his non-Puppet Pals videos tend towards really morbid and surreal humor. This troper laughed at all of them, but still feels frightened at the thought of having a slumber party.
* Are you afraid of clowns? Well [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-SamlxVgnc this will make you fear them even more]]. A toy clown crawls towards a child trying to get to sleep. Vaugely freaky until the grand finale... [[spoiler: The kid, who's pulled the covers over his face, looks back at the clown doll and it's become a real clown with blood around the mouth and stuff...

[[spoiler:In a nutshell... After Jacob was finished with the review, he went to the toilet and he saw THAT SouthernBelle (and instead of a skull face, she has Joker's face) (though it's obviously someone else). Then the camera proceeds to 'show' how Jacob gets the nasty end against that Ghost Lady, complete with her psycho ripping, her face closeups and her hysterical laugh. Brrr...!]]

** Or for that matter, the short film based on his song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wJJAwsJVuA He Only Goes Out on Tuesadays.]] It's about the horrors perpetrated on a nine year old boy by his father. What's so awful about this is the fact that [[spoiler: he just get's away with it.]]

** I have a pretty high tolerance for {{UncannyValley}} and robots, but this video always, ''always'' makes me want to wet myself and cry.
** There is, at last, some explanation for this horror -- this is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak7dWr5zuu4 Tara]], an android built by [[http://www.androidworld.com/prod10.htm John Bergeron]] (scroll down to number 7). It doesn't make her any less terrifying, though.
** As if to drive home this point, the sequel features the two ponies bloating disturbingly in mid-conversation, an inexplicable SantaClaus-lizard hybrid that demands Charlie put a banana in his ear (in song!), then [[StuffBlowingUp bursts into flames]], and [[CosmicHorror inexplicable tentacles]] [[BodyHorror coming out of a vortex in Charlie's back]].
*** Need there be mention of either the third sequel or the YouTube Live edition? Between a door that can see into your soul, the "scariest thing ever" at the very beginning, prehensile tongues, legs bending in directions they were not meant to bend, and continued mutilation of Charlie, the third one borders on HighOctaneNightmareFuel. The portrayal of RickAstley with tentacles, scary eyes, and snake mouth in the {{YouTube}} Live version only makes this troper suspect the entire point of the Charlie franchise is to poke fun at Nightmare Fuel.

* [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm Mortasheen]], {{Bogleech}}'s attempt at making a {{Mons}} series. First off, the author apparently has a thing for horrifying parasites that reproduce through body horror, such as the Septiclown, Scumbat, Tachinoid, Fevile and Ragamuffet to name a few. Secondly, there are the Devilbirds, birds whom were subjected to negative psychic energy as eggs and feeding on those energies in the most horriffic manner possible, like driving people to murderous rage (Wrath); causing them to go insane from fear (Bonnagander), stealing their bodies (Envy), making them attached to a blood-red pearl that sucks their minds away and enslaves them to it (Greed), to name a few. Oh, and there is a whole class of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, including a [[NaughtyTentacles tentacle rape monster]]. And most of the monsters in the "Zombie" class result from [[{{Squick}} zombies attempting to copulate]].
* {{GameFAQs}} will occasionally have the front page themed for a recent game. Once, the "theme" was ''Condemned 2'', and the home-page has a decapitated, fanged clown-head and a dead baby plastered all over the place. Who the HELL decided that this was a good idea?
* [[http://www.rotten.com Rotten.com]]. Contains graphic, ''real'' photos of horrific deaths and injuries, such as actual photos of the famous, gruesome Black Dahlia murder. Possibly the highest of {{High Octane Nightmare Fuel}}.
** The Black Dahlia murder was the murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947. She was found, by a mother walking with a three-year-old girl no less, cut in half at the waist and with her mouth cut open to each ear. She had been deliberately posed and had apparently been forced to eat feces before dying. The killer, who has never been identified, was upset that the case was starting to slip from the media's attention, called the local newspaper and mailed them the contents of her purse. Creepy.
* The late Encyclopedia ''fucking'' Dramatica. There's a reason it wasn't safe for work. The "Kittens" page is enough to make your eyes bleed and your head explode, the "Offended: page would make it explode quicker, and the people on the ED forums are the lowest of the low.

** Read the posts on any "Discussion" page: the majority of the site's editors seem to believe there's actually some truth to what they're writing (if not, they're '''''really''''' good at pretending--or have gotten so caught up in the "fun" that they can no longer tell the difference). That a bunch of random schmucks on the internet can demonstrate as much unified hatred and ignorance this side of the Westboro Baptist Church is pretty damn horrific.
** In case you're wondering "how low?"...when one of their own was killed in a car accident, they took to ridiculing him on the forums and hijacked his account. Anyone who objected or said otherwise was labeled a [[AcceptableTargets "faggot"]].
* There is a website where people wrote out various alternate history scenarios. Several of them were frightening, but the one that takes the biscuit the most basically had North Korea nuking the whole world and everybody dying, which was HighOctaneNightmareFuel enough, except that the writer described the Mars Rover Opportunity continuing to explore Mars and ''beaming back data of past life on Mars to a dead Earth''. Both HighOctaneNightmareFuel and TearJerker.

* [[http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0000265/Spec/Beasts.html The Speculative Dinosaur Project.]] An AlternateHistory that asks the question "what if the asteroid had missed and dinosaurs had continued to evolve to the modern day?" The answer, earth becomes a DeathWorld. In Our timeline plants got a break of a few million years between the dinosaurs and the first large mammals. On this world they didn't, so there are many kinds of plants that contain deadly neuro-toxins that can kill you in seconds just by ''touching them''. The classic dinosaur predators continued to evolve of course, giving us creatures like the Abelisaurs (convergently similar to T-Rex), the "Ninja" (an aptly named stealthy killer that descends from raptors), and the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Imperial Saber Tyrant]], the largest predator on earth that combines traits of Tyrannosaurs and saber cats. The giant crocodiles are still around, as are new groups like "cutter crocs" "cruncher crocs" and "croclions". There are many kinds of "near birds" still around, many of whom have sharp teeth. One of them sprays toxic puke when threatened. There are also many kinds of "true birds" that are just as bad. The "gobbler" is a lot like our timeline's terror birds, the "city finches" live in eusocial colonies (like ants, bees, mole rats) and swarm anything that threatens them, (killing even an Abelisaur in seconds), carnivorous "Penguins of death" in Antarctica (including one species called the "piranhakeet" that swarms giant squid tearing them apart), and to top in all off, there are entire ecosystems of fish, parasites, and tadpoles [[BodyHorror living inside the colons of some dinosaurs, and a species off bird called the "rectal probe" that eat them.]]
** Fortunately, there are quite a few relatively cuddly things to act as NightmareRetardant, a lot of them mammals (who are on average much smaller here) particularly what happens with all the offshoots of the humble [[EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi platypus]].
** You wanna talk about cute cuddly mammals? There's a group of primates, offshoots of lemurs who evolved as small tree dwelling mammalian predators similar to house cats or racoons. They go on to describe in detail their complex social systems, how some of them live as far north as Sweden and can hibernate in winter, how they can't see in color, how very effect they are at killing their prey with their combination of opposable thumbs and retractable claws, how some of them have been known to use tools. Then the FridgeHorror comes in, they split from the lemurs at around the same time as, in our timeline, the group of primates that produced monkeys, apes, and HUMANS branched off. The page even asks the question "Is a tree fox a sort of failed human... or is a human, ultimately a failed tree fox?"
* There's an extraordinarily scary website which is about ElvisPresley's death and various stories concerning it. One of them is the ''rather gory'' story of how Elvis died.
* Hyperbole and a Half, by Allie Brosh, is an illustrated web blog that nine times out of ten is absolutely ''hilarious''. ''This'', however, is apparently the missing tenth time. It begins as an innocuous enough tale, [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/10/god-of-cake.html involving the blogger as a four-year-old child and the cake her mother made for a relative's birthday party.]] This lasts approximately as long as the second panel.

** Honestly, apart from [[{{BlackEyesOfEvil}} some panels]] that entry was still really funny.

* [[EvilOldFolks Harry S. Plinkett's]] [[RedLetterMedia reviews]]. It starts out like any other armchair/nerd youtube review, but every so often we are...'treated' to a glimpse into the life of Mr.Plinkett, a centenarian serial killer who has killed his three wives, at least a dozen hookers and an entire Korean family. His methods are...unorthodox to say the least as they have involved such things as wells, cars, razors, [[NoodleImplements Raid, cockroaches, and a rusty old refrigerator.]] Huh. Made worse by the fact that he seems to mention such atrocities in passing while he treats the [[StarWars Star Wars]] prequel series as [[ValuesDissonance a sort of cinematic holocaust.]]
* DeadEnds. Zombies have never been more scary.
* SurvivalOfTheFittest can fall into this at times, for obvious reasons based on the site's premise (as it is based off of BattleRoyale).

It gets worse when you remember that these characters are most of the time [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary High School Students]].

For example, Johnny Marsh has his skin become transparent, but everything else is still visible, making him look similar to an anatomical model. Now imagine that you wake up on a DesertedIsland knowing that there are a bunch of potentially AxCrazy people about and looking like that under a scuba suit that you're now wearing. Or how about Taryn Gregory's power, whose [[BloodyMurder blood crystallizes upon exposure to oxygen and can be used as knives]]. Aside from the idea of crystallizing blood, the concept of what happens during [[NoPeriodsPeriod certain times of the month]] ''has'' been brought up and discussed by handlers. Or the ability where you can [[ElementalShapeshifter turn parts of your body to stone]], but you can't change it ''[[AndIMustScream back]]''. There's a lot of FridgeHorror in Evolution overall.

** There is another one, more of a story, about a hacked Red version being called Black Version(no relation to the official Black/White version). After starting and defeating your rival for the first time, you see you have 2 pokemon, the starter and a Ghost one(named Ghost). Searching the video on Youtube gives a long story about it, but here is part of the story that happens in this hacked game. [[spoiler:The Ghost has Curse, that's it. However, instead of stealing health or decreasing health for power, the screen turns black, you hear a distorted rival/wild/foe's pokemon, and it says *name of enemy pokemon* is gone(the remake on FireRed will most likely say died instead of gone). This can be used on the trainers as well, and if it is on a trainer battle, you can either run or use curse again. If you used curse on the trainer after their pokemon "died," you noticed they are gone now, returning to the same screen shows a tombstone where they should be. After you beat the game and check the hall of fame, it goes from bad to worse. You see a screen of a sizable amount of tombstones, and a movable old character(which is revealed to be you many years later). After returning to the place you started, it shows all the pokemon and trainers you used curse on, then you fight Ghost without anything. You only struggle, and at a certain point when you have critical health, Ghost uses Curse on you and the screen turns black forever. Restarting will show that the save is gone. Short version of it is: Ghost's Curse attack KILLS your opponents, the trainers, and you see a parade of victims that you KILLED. And at the end, that same monster kills you.]]

* The ending of ''[[DirtyPotter Dirty the Pooh and the Hundred-Acre Shitpile]]'', [[DirtyPotter Chapter One: In Which Rabbit Stuffs Almost Everything Right in His Ass and a Stupid Black Nigger Goes Poo-Poo in Bed]].

* In ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', the gore of some scenes is simply unbelievable, including firecrackers being shoved into... *ahem* a part of a woman's anatomy - need more be said? Another, somehow creepier example is the death of Damien Carter-Madison, whereupon he is swamped by the ghosts/zombies of all of his deceased classmates and dragged through a door into a realm which is strongly applied to be hell. The knowledge it is the hallucination of a dying teenager does little to comfort the reader.

* In a discussion about {{Squick}} on a newsgroup, someone mentioned a dream... he had incredibly bad acne, and went to the doctor, who injected a drug that opened the pores on his face to an inch wide, then removed the bits of acne grue with tweezers. Bad enough, but then the doctor dripped a bit of sweat and part of his face ''dissolved''. That was over ten years ago, and [[Tropers/{{Azaram}} I]] still have nightmares about it occasionally, and those creepy-ass dried seed husks that some places sell for flower arrangements bring it back...
** I believe you're talking about lotus pods. That is exactly why the shock-meme "lotus breast" was devised. (Don't look it up!)
** Oh ''god'', why did I succumb to morbid curiousity? 'Breasts, seeds and pods? Can't be that ba-AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!'
** Since we're talking about acne... Some people have mentioned, that when they had extremely bad acne, they imagined all sorts of creepy stuff what was going on, such as ''flesh growing inside the pores, pulsing sickenly and how you would pull a string of flesh out of it''.
*** Urban legends being urban legends, though, I am extremely reluctant to believe that. Besides, I also use face-washing stuff to deal with his acne, so it's not as much of a threat as people hype it up to be. Having ''mouth ulcers'' on the other hand, is not fun in any way.
* Arch Oboler, creator of the horror/suspense radio show ''Lights Out,'' issued an album (which I own) called ''Drop Dead! An Exercise in Horror.'' One of the audio plays in this is called "The Dark," about a strange black mist that ''turns people inside out.'' Never, even in Customs, will a rubber glove ever sound so dire.
** Heh. That just reminds me of TheSimpsons Halloween V where they all got turned inside out at the end and started singing..."One! Chorus line of people, dancing till they make us stop...Too! Many dancing people, covered with blood gore and glop..." As Bart is dragged away by Santa's Little Helper...
* For that matter old time radio horror as a format. You have to go into it with the right state of mind since the overly melodramatic style and genre defining "over explaining things for the audience" can quickly turn them into {{Narm}} or NightmareRetardant if you're not in the right mood, but go into some of them right state of mind and you will never be creeped out as much. Many websites have MP3 files of many of the old shows which have long since fell out of copyright like Lights Out, Quiet Please, Inner Sanctum, and the Mysterious Traveler.

* The viral marketing for 2010's ''TheLastExorcism'' included a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNSaurw6E_Q short online video]] that was circulated on chat sites like Chat Roulette and Facebook. In this clip, a young woman teases the other person chatting by unbuttoning the top of her blouse and smiling seductively, then she puts her head down for a moment. When she puts her head back up, her eyes roll into the back of her head, her mouth opens (revealing sharp fangs) and she screams as she lunges at the camera - and again right after the screen cuts to black. The worst part was that you could be a kid surfing innocently and just happen to come across this clip while randomly searching for people to chat with.
* On the Ask Ms. Fortune blog from Tumblr, when {{Skullgirls}} character Ms. Fortune was asked how she felt about [[EldritchAbomination Double]], she said she wasn't too worried about her and seemed confident in fighting her. Next thing you know, she's [[HostileShowTakeover not quite]] [[BodyHorror herself]].

[[folder:Games]]
* The {{Exmortis}} series and most of the works of Ben Leffer.
** Has quite a lot of this. Some of it branches off into [[ParanoiaFuel Paranoia Fuel]] instead, while some of it decides to take it [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel to 11]]
* The game [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/504266 Vorago]], though made with intent to scare, had some parts with over-the-top nightmareish-ness. Watch the walkthroughs [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_Kt_Lebgw&feature=channel_page here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4OB58zBjq4&feature=channel_page here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50qycWWng30&feature=channel_page here]], and finally [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Dd9D5O8&feature=channel_page here]]. This troper found the part after [[spoiler: the protagonist's husband gets stung by the monsters]] to be the most scare-worthy.
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/480006 Closure.]] This flash game is just plain freakin' unsettling. Especially when you start figuring out what it's about. It's a fun game in spite of it though, with a great gameplay mechanic.
* ''[[DieAnstalt Die Anstalt: Psychiatry for Mishandled Plush Toys]].'' Everything that made ToyStory worthy of an entry on the Nightmare Fuel pages, but with severe mental disturbances. Take Dolly: After ''that'' BodyHorror and MushroomSamba, not to mention the expression on [[spoiler: the wolf]], [[Tropers/JET73L This Troper]] will never look at [[spoiler: reversible stuffed toys]] the same way again. And failing to help is even worse, because if you can't rescue everyone in one try (''no second chance''), it leads to the TethercatPrinciple.
** [[YourMilageMayVary Your Milage May Vary]] on that one. [[Tropers/TacoNinja This one]] is in love with the game and thinks the characters are adorable. Plus if you ''do'' manage to save everyone in one go, it amounts to a massive [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (and it will probably make you want to buy all the character toys).
* [[http://jayisgames.com/games/the-house/ The House]]
* There is this game on the internet called [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/69276 Ghost Motel]], but I beg of you DON'T PLAY IT!!!!
** Oh, god, I thought I'd put it to rest for good, but around 7 or 8 years later, someone HAS to remind me of it. [[spoiler: Note to self - NEVER let curiosity get the better of you if you hear weeping coming from a nearby room.]]
** Oh yeah? in one of the episodes, you have to search the motel for a demon that escaped. in one of the rooms, that corpse is still there,rotting. Gave me the Goosebumps.
* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/5394l CLARIS. AUTOPSY.]] "Claris is dead! Find out why!" This game is the opposite of a dress up doll. You take off her clothes (she wears a leaf under them), her skin, and her muscles. Oh yeah, (spoilers in case you wanted to spook yourself)[[spoiler: She's not dead. You can see her heart beat. If you try to click it to bring attention to this-WHOOPSLOL NOW WE KNOW WHY SHEZ DED LOL!]]
** (rocks back and forth) I think I just suffered the troper equivalent of a HeroicBSOD.
* [[http://hotel626.com/ Hotel 626]]. Start off with the fact that it's only possible to play it between 6pm and 6am. When you ''can'' play the game, it's basically you playing a guest trying to escape an incredibly freaky hotel which is full of dark and demonic forces. Among other things, you must play a music box to keep a [[CreepyChild scary baby]] asleep, figure out how to escape from a room which you are locked in with a mad man ([[spoiler:after three tries, he unties himself, turns out the light, and game over]]), and get dragged down the hall by evil spirits. [[spoiler:And when you do finally escape, you get a cool down moment where the guest sits in his car and starts to pull out of the driveway while calming music plays. Before looking in the rearview mirror and seeing a corpse-like creature in the back seat.]]
** The strangest part about it? Hotel 626 was made to promote Doritos. '''[[MundaneMadeAwesome DORITOS!]]'''
** There is now the wonderful game Asylum 626! As with the hotel, it's only playable from 6pm to 6am and is more of a barely interactive short movie than a game. You do, however, have to make a decision on who to kill at the end. Fun Fun!
* [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/HeroInteractive/microbe-kombat Microbe Kombat]] is a simple game where you are trying to eat your rival microbes and grow. [[NightmareFetishist Sounded fun for]] [[Tropers/AstraKiseki this disease loving troper]]. No. She had to turn off the game because of TheVirus baddies that turn up and can infect you and your enemies, and if you aren't careful, you'll explode and just leave more of the Virus behind. She was literally screaming like a baby during the last stage she could handle. Dear god, the rival microbes infected. *shudder* *sob*
** And then you realized these kinds of stuff happens in the body all the time when someone gets sick, fortunately, we have white blood cells and T cells.
* [[http://www.e4.com/game/get-lost/play.e4 Get Lost]] allows you to explore the "unsafe and most assuredly haunted grounds" right away. The place is largely harmless, however...with the exception of one room, which contains an old woman's corpse in a chair and a portrait of a child nestled in the corner. Clicking on the corpse itself does nothing. However, if you click the portrait, the screen goes black, a close-up of the corpse appears for a split second, and you die. But it's never explained ''how'' or ''why'' you die, which somehow makes it ten times worse.
* MonsterBasement, a flash game series, has a bit of this, for examples, [[http://armorgames.com/play/192/monster-basement play it right here!]]
** totheark's video responses. Just... totheark's video responses.
* The MinotoSeries is a bunch of cute point-and-click adventure games which are about as far from Nightmare Fuel as you can get...until ''[[http://mac.rash.jp/games/dasyutu/a141/en/index.html Present of Santa 2.]]'' Go two screens right from the start and you come to a scene with a locker. Open the locker, and you're treated to [[spoiler:a huge, writhing orange thing with bulging eyes, a gaping mouth and vestigial limbs constantly wiggling.]] It's actually just [[spoiler:the Sun Boy from previous games who's gotten ridiculously fat and wedged inside the locker,]] but some of the Escape Games 24 players have gotten a nasty shock from it.
* There's a site which has a game called "Find the ghost of Elvis in this picture" in which you have to try spot the ghost of deceased rock icon ElvisPresley, his beautiful singing voice echoing in the background while you look around for him...and ''then all of a sudden this monstrous ghoul thing'' appears on screen.
** This site sounds like a ''Screamer'', an innocuous website that lulls a casual viewer into a false sense of security by offering a game or some other activity which requires their concentration and then, ''Bam!'' Instant picture of a possessed Linda Blair with loud accompanying train whistle. The internet equivalent of sneaking up behind someone with a scary mask and tapping them on the shoulder.
*** As parodied in one ''ICarly'' online video.
---->'''Spencer:''' Okay, you may not believe this, but my robot can actually cry. Here, look into its eyes.
---->''(camera moves in closer)''
---->'''Spencer:''' Now just keep looking. You'll see the tears in about 15 seconds.
---->''(About 5 seconds later...)''
---->'''Spencer:''' RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Heh... sorry if that scared you, but that's kind of the point.
** Even Lego gets in on the act - on the Bionicle Piraka website, an innocuous join-the-dots routine flashes and roars when you get to the eleventh dot.
* The first episode of the point-n-click adventure game ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/aliceisdead Alice is Dead]]'' is [[RefugeInAudacity funny]]. The second episode starts that way as well, but quickly takes a turn for the chilling.
* The dreaded manticore of [[http://www.atrianglemorning.com/games/flash.php Which Way Adventure]] can be startling to those who are not expecting it (and you will not be expecting it) but woe betide the poor fool who goes to the circus and chooses to become a manticore keeper without knowing about it in advance. Anyone who has already encountered the manticore knows that this option is basically suicide, so it's more entertaining than scary. However, the oblivious find themselves faced with a sleeping hellspawned beast, and are given the option to either hold their breath, look for something to feed it, sneak past it or simply stay very still. Regardless of which option you choose, the manticore wakes up and stares at you evilly, which is punctuated by an ominous scare chord. Again, you are given the four options, and again, none of them work...and once you've made your choice, you are treated to a terrifying roar, a close-up of the manticore's face, and your death.
** Also, the ship. Normally, being here means you're on one of the (many) paths that allow you to "win" the game. However, if you make your way here after the world is laid to ruin by a time-travelling Hitler (don't ask) you end up in a much darker area, and if you look closely, when you're about to go into the ship's bridge you can just about make out a face peering at you from the shadows ahead. There is no option to go back at this point; either you stop playing the game or you walk straight into the jaws of what turns out to be a zombie, again, complete with nightmarish close-up and sudden, horrible screech. Thankfully, this is followed by a brief but amusing sequence where you become a zombie yourself and go out in search of brains, which kind of takes the edge off.
*** Also also, arachnophobes are sure to have a field day with the path where you fall asleep and are turned into a butterfly and end up trapped in a spider web and no matter what option you choose a spider quickly descends upon you and eats you alive. Sweet dreams.
*** [[Tropers/TheGunheart This troper]] tried the bit with the Manticore and was unimpressed. Then, when starting a new game, he chose the manhole, and OMGITSTHATMANTICOREAGAIN! I have no idea if this was a glitch or not...
*** It's not a glitch. [[Tropers/GreatPikminFan This troper]] saw a video of it, and figured out that every time you get killed by a manticore, you have to face it twice before being able to play again.
**** Not every time. If you get the elusive "DOUBLE GAME OVER" by being killed by both the manticore and a giant spider, then I guess the game takes pity on you.
* [[http://www.e4.com/game/curse-of-the-red-ninja/play.e4 Curse of the Red Ninja]] is something of a spiritual successor to Get Lost, and is largely just an adventure game with an element of surreal humor. Just don't go into the dark forest and disturb the nest of sinister-looking birds, because a "protective Tengu mother" will appear right the hell out of nowhere and put a sudden and definitive end to both your fun and your ability to sleep.
* [[http://www.peta.org/cooking-mama/index.asp This]] inexplicable attack on ''CookingMama'' from PETA. It may not to lead to any converts to the cause, but probably a few nightmares.
** This troper adored the game. I found it very cute, and fun to play.
* [[ColourMySeries Colour My Dreams]] is full of this. From shadowy demons who suddenly leap offscreen to taunting messages written in blood, it's [[MoodWhiplash quite the departure]] from the previous games. The ending is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming worth the fear]], though.
* [[YourMileageMayVary Some people]] find the {{Submachine}} series disturbing because of the emptiness of the places you explore and the eerie soundtrack, and/or for the sense of being watched and not knowing who to trust. You find evidence that other people have been there before you, including notes left for you, but so far you only really have two-way communication with [[spoiler:Murtaugh]], and not very often at all... [[spoiler:and he is ''far'' from trustworthy]]. Also, while many of the locations look like they've been abandoned for a very long time, some places look as though people ''were'' there recently and had to leave in a hurry -- and every now and then you'll go someplace you've been before that has apparently been visited in your absence by someone or something who likes to break things.
** From ''[[http://www.submachineworld.com/subnet.html Submachine Network Exploration Experience]]'':
*** "Report #173" at location [[spoiler:399]] deals with the recurring themes of memory loss and disorientation, and suggests that [[spoiler:the Submachine itself]] could be causing people to lose their memories, [[spoiler:confusing and trapping them, and "harnessing their biomatter"]].
*** Location [[spoiler:712]]. The combination of the gun camera stills and the sounds -- a faint, steady electronic tone, interrupted by quick bursts of hard-to-make-out human voices, beeping, and static -- is very unsettling. Most of the soundtracks and background noises for the entire series are creepy, but [[YourMileageMayVary this one in particular stands out]].

* On the subject of websites, [[Tropers/{{Demetrios}} I]] made a rather grave mistake once. One night, while looking for pictures of succubi, I happened upon this strange-sounding link that involved the word "bernadinism", after its maker Alva Bernadine. I took a look inside, and found the pictures all right. But the succubi depicted were [[BodyHorror horrible]] [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian monsters]] (as opposed to [[EvilIsSexy the more traditional depiction of them as beautiful women]]). Unfortunately, not even the soothing music of Laura Turner helped. But don't worry, this story does have a HappyEnding: I found a cure in playing ''FinalFantasyX''. But to this day, I still wonder [[WhatWereYouThinking what the people at Elle Magazine were thinking when they hired Bernadine]] (he once worked there as a photographer).

* [[http://www.friendsoffoamy.com/videos/maid-of-horror-special-episode Maid of Horror]], a small (barely) interactive movie in the NeuroticallyYours series. It starts out promising enough [[spoiler:as goth chick Germain, decked out in a maid's uniform, starts giving you head]], then goes straight into HONF territory [[spoiler:when she practically eats your dick]]. Obviously, NSFW.
* "Don't Take This Lolipop":Basically you click on the lolipop and allow the app like you you usually do with apps on Facebook. You then [[spoiler: see a man on what looks like an old 90's computer scrolling through YOUR facebook page. Then he looks up your location on google maps.]] Eek!
* This gem [[http://www.vansowerwine.com/installation/playwithmeint.htm Play With Me]]. Muto is surreal with tons of body-shock horror; this is a moving child's doll, deep in the UncannyValley, with ''interactive'' body-shock horror. You just click on an object from the doll's house and the doll picks it up and plays with it. Whatever you choose, ItGetsWorse.
* There's an interactive web animation about how chocolate bunnies are made and you're given the choice of something to throw at the poor helpless bunny. When you click on said item ''something brutal'' happens to the poor bunny (he even ''screams in agony'') and knocks him out- he is then ''dipped into a vat of chocolate and comes out as a chocolate bunny''. Also the ''Hamster in the Microwave'' as well as many other ''Joe Cartoon'' ones.

* Screamers. Yeah, most are pretty harmless and simple (like the Scary Maze Game). Then you stumble across one that's a mix of gorn, mind rape and nightmare fuel unleaded. This Troper was absolutely traumatized, to the point that she won't watch a video if she even suspects it'll be a screamer. Trust me, there are signs.

*** For those who are looking for actual information, Zaldgo is and was a meme based around a fictional EldritchAbomination representing decay and chaos through the use of TheMissingNo-esque scrambled images and garbage characters similar to the above. The creepy thing about Zalgo mythology is that it does exist simply because people act like it exists. The moment you mention it's name, it appears, in the form of everyone around you saying his words in his voice. Every time he is mentioned. He can't do anything to you if you don't want him to. He exists because you want him to exist. ''And there's nothing you can do about it.''
*** The other creepy thing is that Zalgo's influence on people is generally rendered as EyeScream, usually in the form of blood or some other discharge from the eyes.
* The [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/horrifying-house-guest-shadowlurker Shadowlurker]], a.k.a Horrifying House Guest, Never Alone or Uninvited Guest, a being that could best be described as a mix between Trollface and Kayako from JuOn / TheGrudge.
** [[NightmareRetardant I WILL RIDE A BICYCLE OF NIGHTMARES INTO YOUR ASSHOLE.]]
* The numerous online references to [[http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/peppers.asp Brian Peppers]].
* Everybody knows of [[RozenMaiden Suiseiseki]] because of '[[MemeticMutation DESU DESU DESU]]', yes? Well, another Suiseiseki-based meme has been unleashed onto the internet -- the super-deformed (emphasis on the ''deformed'') Jissouseki, which was introduced onto 2ch to much revulsion... until the frequenters started drawing fanart of the little things crapping on themselves and [[{{Gorn}} getting tortured in the most horrific ways possible]]. It's enough to make your skin crawl. DO '''NOT''' google it if you've got an extremely weak stomach.
** Related to this phenomenon are the yukkuris -- blobby, deformed heads of ''{{Touhou}}'' characters that implore you to "[[CatchPhrase TAKE IT EASY!]]" Unfortunately, for every cute yukkuri fanart on the internet, there's always one where the poor things are tortured and killed, among other atrocities. This is partly justified by the fact that {{Fanon}} has declared that they're filled with bean paste and not blood, but still...
*** ''Still?'' The bean paste gives people all the more incentive to chalk up fanart and fanfics of them being subject to all kinds of monstrosities. Most of the fics on the Yukkuri Wiki (i.e. [[http://yukkuri.wikia.com/wiki/This_Yukkuri "This Yukkuri"]]) involve yukkuri cruelty. [[TearJerker I can't take it easy!]]
*** Though yukkuris have an unfortunate tendency to be slaughtered mercilessly, sometimes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=b_2U3H8E6dA&feature=related they're the ones that do the killing]]... (Restored. We all need the counterpart to YOSIS' TastesLikeDiabetes Nitori remix... or do we?)
*** Since depictions of yukkuris are completely DependingOnTheWriter[=/=]DependingOnTheArtist, a great many abuse fans tend to see them as AlwaysChaoticEvil little pests so as to flimsily justify the torture and murder inflicted upon them. 'course, that excuse falls flat since portrayals are Depending On The Person, thus yukkuris don't necessarily have to be pests.
*** Yukkuri abuse? Pah, that's nothing. For real nightmare fuel I give you the comic ''[[http://yukkuri.shii.org/pool/show/185 Make Babies Easy (NSFW)]]'', which shows what happens when a Reimu that wants children shacks up with a Marisa that doesn't. (Answer: utter bugfuck insanity.)

[[folder: Stories]]
* [[DarthWiki/CandleCove Candle Cove.]]
* [[http://www.castleofspirits.com/stories01/ghandi.html This]] story about how a little girl saw a horrifying demon in her window that had blood-dripping fangs. You may never hear Rick Springfeild's "Hole In My Heart" the same way again after reading this story. From a [[http://www.castleofspirits.com/storypg.html website]] purporting to contain true ghost stories.
* On the subject of "true" stories: I can't believe no one mentioned r/nosleep. Best damn stories on the internet, and even the lower rated ones are full of HONF.
* ''{{SailorNothing}}'': [[spoiler:Ami]]. Damn, even the mental image gives nightmares. [[spoiler:A villain who seeks to refine evil as an artform abducts her, physically and mentally breaks her, and then presents her as his masterpiece to the rest of the cast.]]
** ''Most'' of ''SailorNothing''. Good luck enjoying ''SailorMoon'' ''now'' you [[WideEyedIdealist over-optimistic fools]].
* Sam Hughes' ''[[http://qntm.org/?gorge Gorge]]'' is about humans happening upon a planet that happens to be a perfect sphere with no atmosphere. Kinetic probes find that the planet's substance is mostly magnesium. They send a drone down, and lose contact immediately. And with another. And another. Then they realize the planet was destroyed by a GreyGoo scenario. [[spoiler:Then the planet starts launching rockets.]] The story ends with [[spoiler:the flagship running for Earth, while all the other survey ships are consumed behind them, the nanoships expanding in all directions. The fastest human ship will take six months to reach earth, and the narration points out [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the nanomachines hadn't learned about spaceflight, not until they sent the drones down]].]]
* The darker and/or more perverted stories on FurAffinity often show that one man's FetishFuel is another's HighOctaneNightmareFuel--for instance, stories in the "Belial" series often feature people being permanently merged together for the rest of their natural existence (e.g. a woman choosing to turn into a penis attached to another woman.) The fact that many of these stories are consensual can actually make it creepier.
** Speaking of FurAffinity, a user named Nequ writes ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' {{Rule 34}}. You have been warned.
*** ''Technically'', it's doing to transformation fetishism what SCP does to UrbanFantasy; look at it in a realistic setting. They've stated several times that the stories are supposed to be horror, and participants are rarely doing it consensually. Quite the opposite.
* [[http://www.journalfen.net/users/charlottelennox/784.html The Ms. Scribe Story]] is a perfect example of the depths of depravity to which people will sink in the name of [[{{BNF}} fandom involvement]]--and how [[KarmaHoudini rewarding]] such unconscionable actions can be. The story's finale is even worse: by then, you learn [[MoralEventHorizon what sort of person]] the ''real'' Ms. Scribe is.
* Many transformation and mind control stories can be this, even more so with a little FridgeLogic. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030406190728/www.cyberium.net/multibrst/gstory/BrstMagi.htm Breasts of the Magi]], for example, takes place in a world where the World of Fae re-synced with this world after a few hundred years absence. almost all of the Fae happen to look like really hot women. They tend to have very high libidos, and their standard method of proposing sex with a man is to corner them, kiss them, and stick their hand down their pants. That's right; it's sexual assault. This could be standard for fantasies, but later on in the story, some guy hides an aerosol can that causes breast growth and high libido in the girls' locker room. Not only does it cause date rape, but it turns the victims' effectively bisexual, and changes their bodies. Two "minor wish" spells combine in such a way as to cause the male lead to change shape repeatedly over several hours, including one which gives birth to several rapidly maturing kittens, and another which itself can cause alterations in others and make an entire bookstore a Zone of Arousal, so to speak, just by writing runes with a magic marker. And to top off the UnfortunateImplications sundae, it is twice mentioned how these events won't hurt anyone. Maybe a few pregnancies, [[DarthWiki.WallBanger but nothing serious]].
** [[http://bit.ly/c2C0kM Latex Bloom]] is about latex plant symbionts that invade womens'...lower bits, and keep them in a constant state of sexual excitement and orgasm. They can also act as pseudopenises. That's weird enough, but the protagonist ends up with one, then spends several weeks with her infected cousin and infected botanist aunt, whose greenhouse spawned the parasites in the first place. Infected gradually get better bodies, and have an enhanced libido and very compelling scent. The trio later progress from just incest to actively trying to infect people with these parasites, and the protagonist rapes a random girl in public through use of her tentacle(and [[ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt said girl]] [[RapeIsLove likes it]]). And they want to take over the world with it. Well, they're under the influence of the parasite, right? Well, no; the aunt specifically points out that all the parasite does is make them feel good, and [[MoreThanMindControl everything they've been doing has been done of their own free will]]. Which means that either the parasite makes them ''think'' they're still free, or it's basically turned them into sociopaths ''without'' using mind control.
** The "New Found Form" series involves a series of artifacts that turns people into and gives them the power to transform others into hypersexed furries, usually hermaphrodites. This allows for several interesting forms, including two people fusing into a bear-lizard hybrid, and a dinosaur-spider hybrid. The infection can be spread through nearly anything, including dairy products and ''the Internet''.
* An author with the online handle WyldBlue has some conjoinment horror stories, such as "Tounge-Tied," in which a woman [[spoiler:woke up in a tiny room ''with her tongue fused to another woman's tongue.'' Neither of the women felt any urge to eat or sleep...''and so they stayed, stuck in that tiny room without an exit, for what seems like forever.'']] I could not sleep that night and haven't been back to that site, wherever it was, since.
** I have seen that story too. The mention that the other woman was "an unattractive Asian", the part where they both get a cold, and when their tongues shorten and pull them into a kiss did nothing to sell it to me. I used to be interested in conjoinment fics until I found how they almost always have elements of RapeIsLove in them. They're just ugly.
*** I stumbled upon [[http://tsa.transform.to/misc/adsorbingpassion.html one story]] ('''Warning: Extreme Squick-fuel)''' involving a sort of merger vampire, that appeared as a woman. If a man had sex with her, he'd become stuck, and eventually be absorbed into her body over a period of weeks. Then she'd turn into him, slowly, complete with his memories, plus the memories of all the previous victims. The lovingly described changes don't help. The initial protagonist figures out how to reverse the changes so she is absorbed into the man instead, effectively killing her. [[spoiler:Then the man gets a blowjob. His lover gets stuck...]] And yes, it's explicitly called "love".
*** The author of that story remarked that he had no good ending for it. Someone else came up with one [[http://www.geocities.ws/franzkafka79/pass3.html here]], in which [[spoiler:the latest victim ''severs their conjoined spinal cord with a knife'', killing them both to prevent the cycle from repeating]].
** I know exactly which site, and that story is nothing compared to another one there called "Mergeopolis". Every day at a certain time, the entire populace gathers in a huge auditorium. Two names are called in slow succession, and they must approach the stage -- electric barriers and a numbing effect are used if necessary -- and are forced to conjoin, a process described as excruciating. As the two latest... choices... undergo this transformation and are led away, the narrator expresses relief that her name was not called. [[spoiler:Then she freezes, realizing that someday ''it will''.]]
* [[http://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/page1.html Ted's Caving Story]] Even with the misspellings and early internet aesthetic, it's still known to be very, very eerie.
* ''JohnDiesAtTheEnd'' has plenty of examples, but in one of the earliest instances, there were tiny little white worms of supernatural origin. They could fly through the air and drill their way into a person's skin. Once inside a host's soft tissues, a single one could swiftly convert the body mass into a swarm, exploding out at any time. A swarm could infest a person's entire body, turning them into a mind-controlled meat puppet that can choose to act indistinguishably from the original person. Each worm has intelligence comparable to that of a human, and they also hate you so much that just being in the same room as them can cause you physical pain. Despite this, the book is quite funny.
* [[http://harrietrants.deviantart.com/art/The-Dog-216584715?q=gallery%3Aharrietrants%2F25789930&qo=7 This story]], titled "The Dog". The worst part being the fact that the writer insists that it's ''true'', and it's hard not to believe them.
* In ''{{Cradleland}}'', the ''ba'thulaz'' eat brains of living creatures. And no, they do not kill them before eating them, but use the razor-sharp teeth in their lamprey-like mouths to cut open the skull and extract the brain while the organism is still alive. And they prefer the brains of sapient organisms- like humans.
* Cor has written hundreds of vignettes and short stories about invisible, amorphous, sociopathic tickle monsters and their victims. The stories range from {{BlackComedy}}, [[FetishFuel Porn]] and more often than not veer into outright {{HighOctaneNightmareFuel}}. For anyone ticklish enough to be tortured by it this is about as scary as it gets.
** Alright, [[SchmuckBait I'll bite]]. You have a link?
*** [[http://www.asstr.org/~tmz/news.htm#siteinfo Ask and ye shall receive!]]
* ''ShadowUnit''. Just... ''Shadow Unit'': the woman who makes people choke to death on their tongues, the man who can walk unseen in front of a camera and erase himself from human memory, the woman who can kill you at a distance through sheer freakish bad luck -- and ''then'' there's [[spoiler: William Villette]], a serial rapist whose power is ''influencing people's emotions''; some of his victims, years later, still believe that they deserved what he did to them, and that's only the backstory to [[spoiler: what he does to Chaz, who incidentally happens to be his son. By his sister. Who he sexually assaulted ''before'' the anomaly took him over. Two sentences: "It's okay, baby. I just have to let the wings come out."]] (And that's just the ''major plot points'' -- some of the [[http://wiki.shadowunit.org/index.php/Category:Gammas cases mentioned in passing]] are... yeah.)
** "Guy was just... cold. And It showed him how to get warm. S'why he tucked them in when he was done with 'em."
** "She'd started eating in the middle."
** One gamma's power even ''is'' intuiting people's personal HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
* ''[[http://www.dionaea-house.com/ The Dionaea House]]'' Something along the lines of "BlairWitchProject" meets "HouseOfLeaves", this 4 part web-based story will definitely make you uneasy of scary noises in your house. Crowning Moments of Scary goes to Mark's texts when he finds [[spoiler: the second house]], each getting faster and shorter culminating in "[[spoiler: THE DOOR IS OPEN]]", and Danielle's blog and her experience with [[spoiler: the bathtub]].[[spoiler: red rover red rover let Jenny come over.]]
* ''TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome''. A fan created setting based in the Warhammer 40k universe, except it's the Fifty-first millennium instead of the Forty-first. And everything went to hell. Certain examples of High-Octane Nightmare Fuel that come to mind include the account of the Tersis's voyage into the Deep Warp, the Blood Angels giving into the blood thirst completely, the New Devourer, the Ophilim Kiasoz, and most notably, at least in this troper's opinion, the Star Father. Imagine the Emperor ascended to godhood the day he died and decided the best way to protect humanity is to dominate it utterly, mind, soul, and flesh.
* Ursula Vernon's [[http://gearworld.livejournal.com/ Book of the Gear]].
* [[http://shillermetimbers.deviantart.com/#/d4bja1j This]] short story, whilst not being as downright terrifying as some of the other things on here, may put you off of fried eggs for a while.

* Tricky from ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat''. This MonsterClown JUST. WON'T. DIE. [[spoiler:Ever.]]
* The ending of [[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mass this]] animation constantly gives this troper nightmares.
* SaladFingers: A series of animations starring a masochistic green freak with fingers that look like a green Freddy Krueger glove who talks to finger puppets and likes touching rusty spoons and lives in a world with almost nobody else around, and when he meets somebody, he usually freaks out. Also, everything he says appears as text.
** Actually, David Firth's entire output [[http://www.fat-pie.com]] qualifies. Salad Fingers is only the tip of the iceberg.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNfbA6f3WkE&feature=grec_index This]] Youtube video. An entire collection of horror scenes from various games and anime.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2eUUHkpvQA The first episode of GMod Idiot Box]] has a moment you probably should not watch late at night with the lights off.
** Ah, I presume you're talking about [[spoiler: when Chuckles gets thrown into a pit, and after the immortal [[DumbAndDumber "Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"]] phrase, there's a massive close-up of Uberkleiner accompanied by the aforementioned sound]]? Don't worry, there's nightmare retardant in his appearance in episode 7 where [[spoiler: he appears and says the DumbAndDumber quote extremely fast before [[BeamSpam beam spamming]] Chuckles into the air]].
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnMOLZJnCt8 Ah,]]'' a short student-film. It follows a young girl who ''somehow'' falls into a strange world while eating a bowl of alphabet soup...At first it's not ''too'' bad, though a bit ominous. The ground is slightly-soft and cracked, the sky is a brownish color, and look! Letters are floating by! A...H...A...H...The girl decides to follow the letters back to see where they're coming from and...[[ItGotWorse it gets worse.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ2q9NmYf6g This]] ''Lasagna Cat'' video. It's pretty funny until the end, when [[spoiler: Garfield's eyes grow so big, they ''fall off his face and roll on the table, leaving two disturbing empty sockets on his face''.]] Shudder... The fact that it's set to [[BillyIdol "Eyes Without A Face"]] did not help.
** Then it ends with the same creepy image of Jim Davis all the videos end with... only now ''his eyes are moving...''
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_KVsQXeE6A An Arbuckle Thanksgiving]] is a digital edit of the ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials Garfield's Thanskgiving]]'' special and completely removes Garfield. For most of the video, it's pretty silly and doesn't have anything offensive. That is, until [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Jon sits down to eat...]]
** What happens? A curious mind would love to know.
** Took the SchmuckBait for ya. Basically what happens is Jon gets put on a diet, he asks Liz out on a date for Thanksgiving, she eventually gives in, and there's a lot of [[GarfieldMinusGarfield Garfield-removed-related humor]]. Then eventually they sit down to dinner, and Jon remembers he's on a diet, and [[spoiler: completely loses it. The video gives an analysis of his insanity, basically, and then he murders Liz with an chainsaw. The last clip shows a pool of Liz's blood spreading across the floor while Jon talks to Garfield, who of course, is hidden.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms2klX-puUU Story from North America]]. A pencil-drawn music video about a father trying to teach his son why you shouldn't kill spiders. Nightmarish moments include the father squishing one of the giant spider's eggs, the father caressing one of the spider's hairy legs, the father's nipples, and...let's just say that the father in general is HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
* Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ8Zh6AHNVg The worst thing in the world.]]
** I dunno, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUdpFN4O4B0 this]] is definitely in the running -- I had to hit "stop" 34 seconds in.
** Oh no. The worst thing in the world is definitely [[http://www.womanist-musings.com/2012/04/racist-circumcision-cake-featued-at.html this]]. How the hell could anyone find a cake like that remotely appetizing, even WITHOUT the artist's screaming in pain performance?
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0mTEVlJgC8&feature=related This]] trippy, surreal animation right out of Estonia (the very first shot marks it as made-in-Tallinn).
* The darker works of [[http://rainbowanimations.com/ Jeremy Lokken]] definitely count, specifically [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/viewer.php?id=225440&key=JsGmNnXzltOzVxbStiNGYzNzcxMGY4QjI3NzIrMl9xNWIxNjE7Qjc0QlYxOzJWMTJiMTI5ZjcrVnFfOTUxbTk5NzMwMDk4NA%3D%3D Coffee Break]] and [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/viewer.php?id=329529&key=JxHvMxXzJtOzBxbStiM2Y4NzYxM2Y3QjI1OTIrNF9xOGI2NjE7Qjc3QlYxOzJWMTJiODIxZjIrVnFfOTYxbTk5MDkzNDkxNQ%3D%3D The Ugly Duck]].
* Did you have any deep-sea nightmares recently? If so, [[http://scythemantis.deviantart.com/art/Abyssal-108908557 DO NOT LOOK.]] The author of this also made a Pokemon-like monster collection called "Mortasheen" (a horse plague) which range from human-like zombies to altered animals, sentient objects and even puddles with multiple heads. Almost all of them (except the "mistake" class) have pain-inducing or downright lethal powers, of course.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viKf4RqRsTQ This]] trailer for a theoretical ''28 Months Later'' film, which combines clips from various anime series and video games to sound bites from the films to truly terrifying effect.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY&feature=topvideos This]] extremely [[MindScrew trippy]] animation about cows, complete with some very creepy music. I'll be seeing those spider-cow-things in my nightmares.
** The creator of that video, Birmingham-based animator [[http://www.youtube.com/cyriak Cyriak Harris]] specialises in this sort of thing. If memory recalls correctly, he provided the trippy backgrounds in [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses The Nostalgia Critic's]] Top 11 Mindfucks. "Watch them at your own risk", indeed.
* Another Cyriak example: there's one website where they have "Live webcam from inside a particle accelerator". There's a few minutes of normal footage that makes you think it's real, then alarms go off and and a black hole appears and eats the camera, the lab and (presumably) the world. Eeek!
** ''Most'' Cyriak's work fits this trope, including, but not limited to, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SBXcybIo3o Queenie]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3S3Txsl2vs BeastEnders]], and the adorably horrifying [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwCojCJ3-Q Meow]]. When he was commissioned to make a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIFSuAJhTlg music video for a girly pop song]], it was predictably less horrifying then usual but it still featured scenes such as a pair of scissors cutting through a landscape made of flesh, interspaced with blinking and moving eyes, and he himself described it as "a foot fetishists nightmare".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d-tNXxTRBA CHAINSAW MAID]] is a disturbing [[StopMotion claymation]] project that I'm not sure I can even begin to describe. Seeing [[spoiler: the red-haired woman vomit out blood and all her internal organs and then collapse face down into them, then after a few moments sit back up with a creepy blank stare and make a terrifying noise that I can only describe as 'hissing']] was enough for me to close the tab and go into my happy place. It's safe to say I won't be getting much sleep tonight. The person who sent it to me thought it was hilarious, so [[YourMileageMayVary your mileage may vary.]]
* Many of [[http://www.youtube.com/user/SecretAgentBob Film Cow's]] Cartoons. Charlie the Unicorn's already been mentioned, but that's just scratching the surface-their other cartoons include sadistic children's show mascots, man-eating Llamas, John McCain's hallucinations, Ferrets who sing joyfully about the Holocaust and murder...and it's all played for laughs.
* ''Kikia''. Similar to the "Find the ghost of Elvis" example above, this famous Flash movie has a very soft Japanese song playing, with a cute picture of a relaxing stick figure... and then a horrible ghost face from ''FatalFrame'' pops up with a bloodcurdling scream from ''nowhere''. Hard cut to black. [[ManCalledTrue This troper]] was so terrified that he had to call his mother (who was ''out of town'') and get talked down from his fear. He was still shaking an hour later.
** There's a similar one on the Tales From The Crypt website. It has an average photo of an ice cream man in his truck,with the instructions to look closer. When you do look closely at it- the Crypt Keeper appears on the screen cackling and the words The Crypt Keeper fooled you also appear.
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ganerer/List_of_computer_pranks The Other Wiki]] has a bumper list of screamers, as compiled by one user. Fortunately, it isn't one itself.
** [[http://www.solidsharkey.com/polybius.html This one]] is particularly cruel, as the page is actually a very interesting read, concerning the urban legend of Polybius. Of course, you can go to wikipedia and get much of the same info.
** This troper has seen one that looks like a typical "Where's Waldo?", and at the bottom of the picture there's text recommending that you turn up the volume to get a hint. Suddenly a ghoul's face pops up on the screen, accompanied by a loud screeching noise. The first time I (unwittingly) watched it with some classmates during school, our screams got us banned from the computers.
** ''Kikia'' had to be one of the first screamers, before the "Scary Maze" made them ''really'' popular. [[SarcasmMode Thanks for reminding me]]; now I know I'm not the only one that saw it, which somehow doesn't provide any comfort whatsoever...

* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/243164 Lilium]]. Merging HighOctaneNightmareFuel, BodyHorror, and SoundtrackDissonance in one convenient package! (NOT for the faint of heart. Or for the pregnant. Or... You get the idea.)
** YMMV on the soundtrack dissonance. At the very least anyone who's seen ElfenLied will associate that song with HONF and TearJerkers.
* Many Shmorky animations on SomethingAwful are LOADED with this kind of stuff. One of his animations is a series of AVGN parodies called "Furious Famicom Faggot". The series progresses with the titular character becoming more and more insane, having bizzare hallucinations and freaking out until finally, in the last episode he dies of a brain tumor.
* Weebl's original Badger Badger Badger was funny and kinda cute. [[http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers2/ The sequel]] however is truly terrifying.
** The music for the first Badger Badger Badger itself is nightmare-inducing enough. The sequel did not help in the least.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqzESY7SIqU This video]] (has '''flashing lights''') is when colourful and garish turns into horrible and pants-wetting. Also counts as MindScrew.
** I can't stop laughing out loud whenever I'm watching that video... Which is HighOctaneNightmareFuel in itself, as I see absolutely nothing funny in it.
** What I found disturbing was how much the screams brought to mind torture, or even rape.
** Unless it's a prank, there's a fan-made video game of this. ([[http://z4.invisionfree.com/Twin_Elysium/index.php?showtopic=209&view=getnewpost Link to game thread]]; '''NOTE:''' I assume the game also has '''flashing lights''').

* From ThereSheIs, of all things. During Step 4 Nabi has a brief ImagineSpot after seeing Nabi attacked by InterspeciesRomance protesters. It lasts for all of two seconds, but basically it's... [[spoiler: Doki getting more and more beat up, almost as if she's DISINTEGRATING.]] While ''[[StepfordSmiler she's smiling.]]'' Seeing that unsettled this Troper more than most slasher flicks do.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onVnBVIh2OM YoutubePoop: Bubble Buddy slaughters his victims without pity or remorse]]. While the poop itself is funny, the reason for it being scary is because it ties in with the FridgeHorror that is Bubble Buddy from the [[SpongebobSquarepants show itself]]. Not to mention the uploader admitted the video gave him nightmares.
* "Bear Bear" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWA7MqDxFNs. Dear lord that teddy bear with the mismatched eyes is all {{woobie}}ish and cute until it decides that its kid doesn't love him anymore and tries to kill him with the evilest, most insane {{Slasher Smile}} ever animated into a stuffed animal. The red paint on the all black and white background doesn't and increasingly distorted scratched-up inner dialogue help either.

** Or for that matter, the short film based on his song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wJJAwsJVuA He Only Goes Out on Tuesadays.]] It's about the horrors perpetrated on a nine year old boy by his father. What's so awful about this is the fact that [[spoiler: he just get's away with it.]]

** I have a pretty high tolerance for {{UncannyValley}} and robots, but this video always, ''always'' makes me want to wet myself and cry.
** There is, at last, some explanation for this horror -- this is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak7dWr5zuu4 Tara]], an android built by [[http://www.androidworld.com/prod10.htm John Bergeron]] (scroll down to number 7). It doesn't make her any less terrifying, though.
** As if to drive home this point, the sequel features the two ponies bloating disturbingly in mid-conversation, an inexplicable SantaClaus-lizard hybrid that demands Charlie put a banana in his ear (in song!), then [[StuffBlowingUp bursts into flames]], and [[CosmicHorror inexplicable tentacles]] [[BodyHorror coming out of a vortex in Charlie's back]].
*** Need there be mention of either the third sequel or the YouTube Live edition? Between a door that can see into your soul, the "scariest thing ever" at the very beginning, prehensile tongues, legs bending in directions they were not meant to bend, and continued mutilation of Charlie, the third one borders on HighOctaneNightmareFuel. The portrayal of RickAstley with tentacles, scary eyes, and snake mouth in the {{YouTube}} Live version only makes this troper suspect the entire point of the Charlie franchise is to poke fun at Nightmare Fuel.

* [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm Mortasheen]], {{Bogleech}}'s attempt at making a {{Mons}} series. First off, the author apparently has a thing for horrifying parasites that reproduce through body horror, such as the Septiclown, Scumbat, Tachinoid, Fevile and Ragamuffet to name a few. Secondly, there are the Devilbirds, birds whom were subjected to negative psychic energy as eggs and feeding on those energies in the most horriffic manner possible, like driving people to murderous rage (Wrath); causing them to go insane from fear (Bonnagander), stealing their bodies (Envy), making them attached to a blood-red pearl that sucks their minds away and enslaves them to it (Greed), to name a few. Oh, and there is a whole class of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, including a [[NaughtyTentacles tentacle rape monster]]. And most of the monsters in the "Zombie" class result from [[{{Squick}} zombies attempting to copulate]].
* {{GameFAQs}} will occasionally have the front page themed for a recent game. Once, the "theme" was ''Condemned 2'', and the home-page has a decapitated, fanged clown-head and a dead baby plastered all over the place. Who the HELL decided that this was a good idea?
* [[http://www.rotten.com Rotten.com]]. Contains graphic, ''real'' photos of horrific deaths and injuries, such as actual photos of the famous, gruesome Black Dahlia murder. Possibly the highest of {{High Octane Nightmare Fuel}}.
** The Black Dahlia murder was the murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947. She was found, by a mother walking with a three-year-old girl no less, cut in half at the waist and with her mouth cut open to each ear. She had been deliberately posed and had apparently been forced to eat feces before dying. The killer, who has never been identified, was upset that the case was starting to slip from the media's attention, called the local newspaper and mailed them the contents of her purse. Creepy.
* The late Encyclopedia ''fucking'' Dramatica. There's a reason it wasn't safe for work. The "Kittens" page is enough to make your eyes bleed and your head explode, the "Offended: page would make it explode quicker, and the people on the ED forums are the lowest of the low.
** Unfortunately, it's still around. The good trolls of the internet have taken it upon themselves to preserve it in a [[http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Main_Page mirror site.]]
** Read the posts on any "Discussion" page: the majority of the site's editors seem to believe there's actually some truth to what they're writing (if not, they're '''''really''''' good at pretending--or have gotten so caught up in the "fun" that they can no longer tell the difference). That a bunch of random schmucks on the internet can demonstrate as much unified hatred and ignorance this side of the Westboro Baptist Church is pretty damn horrific.
** In case you're wondering "how low?"...when one of their own was killed in a car accident, they took to ridiculing him on the forums and hijacked his account. Anyone who objected or said otherwise was labeled a [[AcceptableTargets "faggot"]].
* There is a website where people wrote out various alternate history scenarios. Several of them were frightening, but the one that takes the biscuit the most basically had North Korea nuking the whole world and everybody dying, which was HighOctaneNightmareFuel enough, except that the writer described the Mars Rover Opportunity continuing to explore Mars and ''beaming back data of past life on Mars to a dead Earth''. Both HighOctaneNightmareFuel and TearJerker.

* [[http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0000265/Spec/Beasts.html The Speculative Dinosaur Project.]] An AlternateHistory that asks the question "what if the asteroid had missed and dinosaurs had continued to evolve to the modern day?" The answer, earth becomes a DeathWorld. In Our timeline plants got a break of a few million years between the dinosaurs and the first large mammals. On this world they didn't, so there are many kinds of plants that contain deadly neuro-toxins that can kill you in seconds just by ''touching them''. The classic dinosaur predators continued to evolve of course, giving us creatures like the Abelisaurs (convergently similar to T-Rex), the "Ninja" (an aptly named stealthy killer that descends from raptors), and the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Imperial Saber Tyrant]], the largest predator on earth that combines traits of Tyrannosaurs and saber cats. The giant crocodiles are still around, as are new groups like "cutter crocs" "cruncher crocs" and "croclions". There are many kinds of "near birds" still around, many of whom have sharp teeth. One of them sprays toxic puke when threatened. There are also many kinds of "true birds" that are just as bad. The "gobbler" is a lot like our timeline's terror birds, the "city finches" live in eusocial colonies (like ants, bees, mole rats) and swarm anything that threatens them, (killing even an Abelisaur in seconds), carnivorous "Penguins of death" in Antarctica (including one species called the "piranhakeet" that swarms giant squid tearing them apart), and to top in all off, there are entire ecosystems of fish, parasites, and tadpoles [[BodyHorror living inside the colons of some dinosaurs, and a species off bird called the "rectal probe" that eat them.]]
** Fortunately, there are quite a few relatively cuddly things to act as NightmareRetardant, a lot of them mammals (who are on average much smaller here) particularly what happens with all the offshoots of the humble [[EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi platypus]].
** You wanna talk about cute cuddly mammals? There's a group of primates, offshoots of lemurs who evolved as small tree dwelling mammalian predators similar to house cats or racoons. They go on to describe in detail their complex social systems, how some of them live as far north as Sweden and can hibernate in winter, how they can't see in color, how very effect they are at killing their prey with their combination of opposable thumbs and retractable claws, how some of them have been known to use tools. Then the FridgeHorror comes in, they split from the lemurs at around the same time as, in our timeline, the group of primates that produced monkeys, apes, and HUMANS branched off. The page even asks the question "Is a tree fox a sort of failed human... or is a human, ultimately a failed tree fox?"
* There's an extraordinarily scary website which is about ElvisPresley's death and various stories concerning it. One of them is the ''rather gory'' story of how Elvis died.
* Hyperbole and a Half, by Allie Brosh, is an illustrated web blog that nine times out of ten is absolutely ''hilarious''. ''This'', however, is apparently the missing tenth time. It begins as an innocuous enough tale, [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/10/god-of-cake.html involving the blogger as a four-year-old child and the cake her mother made for a relative's birthday party.]] This lasts approximately as long as the second panel. [[ItGotWorse It only gets worse from there.]] Especially jarring due to severe MoodWhiplash, as the [[JacobsLadder Jacob's Ladder-esque]] drawings are interspersed with perfectly ordinary narration. ''Christ''.
** Honestly, apart from [[{{BlackEyesOfEvil}} some panels]] that entry was still really funny. The entry that scared this troper was [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/texas.html "Texas"]], detailing her experience at a track meet in Texas...while having a horrible fever [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/TAV7Wb0SzgI/AAAAAAAADA8/uOpxQhRjIIc/s1600/texas9.png that caused her to hallucinate.]] Being horribly sick away from home is terrible enough, but then [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/TAWr6drJY6I/AAAAAAAADCM/vxJrYb_DHi0/s1600/texas2.png she has to get lost.]] It goes to show the skill of the blogger that you can feel the horror of her situation and still laugh like a loon at her [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/TAWLgUOLGpI/AAAAAAAADBE/7jOYpB5nrPg/s1600/texas14.png LSD-esque reaction to fireflies.]]

* In RedVsBlue: Reconstruction, as the Meta is about to assimilate Delta, the other AIs it's abducted appear and welcome him. Especially creepy is the sing-songy, child-like voice: "Delta!

It's legitimately freaky.
* The surprise at the end of [=ScrewAttack.com's=] "Lost VGV Jack Golf" was simply pure evil.
** I believe it was from a German coffee commercial.
* After years of absurd humor, X-Entertainment served up some Nightmare Fuel for the 2007 edition of its Advent Calendar feature. Hidden links led to cryptic clues, unnerving videos, and alarming images.
** Then Leviathan finally appeared in person at the climax of the story. For those of us who assumed he'd be a giant sea-monster, the form he actually took on was different. It was ''worse''.
* Also from X-Entertainment: There was an article about a Teddy Ruxpin toy that a girl took to church with her and the toy suddenly became possessed- sprouting devil horns, eyes turning red and speaking in a demonic voice. Now that's a literally a DemonicDummy!
* Most of Chris Redfields' hallucinations in TheDarkId's REmake LP can fall under this, but it was [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/ResEvil1/Update%207/index.html this chapter where it was worst]].
** Okay, I've heard about this a little bit on ThisVeryWiki, but this ''ResidentEvil'' fan still wants details! But there's no way in hell I'm clicking a link off of one of the HighOctaneNightmareFuel pages. I demand spoilers!
* [[EvilOldFolks Harry S. Plinkett's]] [[RedLetterMedia reviews]]. It starts out like any other armchair/nerd youtube review, but every so often we are...'treated' to a glimpse into the life of Mr.Plinkett, a centenarian serial killer who has killed his three wives, at least a dozen hookers and an entire Korean family. His methods are...unorthodox to say the least as they have involved such things as wells, cars, razors, [[NoodleImplements Raid, cockroaches, and a rusty old refrigerator.]] Huh. Made worse by the fact that he seems to mention such atrocities in passing while he treats the [[StarWars Star Wars]] prequel series as [[ValuesDissonance a sort of cinematic holocaust.]]
* DeadEnds. Zombies have never been more scary.
* SurvivalOfTheFittest can fall into this at times, for obvious reasons based on the site's premise (as it is based off of BattleRoyale). Sometimes the violence can slide into {{Narm}} territory, or even darkly humorous. Other times, though... well, it can get downright disturbing. It gets worse when you remember that these characters are most of the time [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary High School Students]].

** Going back to Evolution again, some of the abilities can be fairly horrifying in a BodyHorror sort of way if you [[FridgeHorror think about them too hard]]. For example, Johnny Marsh has his skin become transparent, but everything else is still visible, making him look similar to an anatomical model. Now imagine that you wake up on a DesertedIsland knowing that there are a bunch of potentially AxCrazy people about and looking like that under a scuba suit that you're now wearing. Or how about Taryn Gregory's power, whose [[BloodyMurder blood crystallizes upon exposure to oxygen and can be used as knives]]. Aside from the idea of crystallizing blood, the concept of what happens during [[NoPeriodsPeriod certain times of the month]] ''has'' been brought up and discussed by handlers. Or the ability where you can [[ElementalShapeshifter turn parts of your body to stone]], but you can't change it ''[[AndIMustScream back]]''. There's a lot of FridgeHorror in Evolution overall.

** There is another one, more of a story, about a hacked Red version being called Black Version(no relation to the official Black/White version). After starting and defeating your rival for the first time, you see you have 2 pokemon, the starter and a Ghost one(named Ghost). Searching the video on Youtube gives a long story about it, but here is part of the story that happens in this hacked game. [[spoiler:The Ghost has Curse, that's it. However, instead of stealing health or decreasing health for power, the screen turns black, you hear a distorted rival/wild/foe's pokemon, and it says *name of enemy pokemon* is gone(the remake on FireRed will most likely say died instead of gone). This can be used on the trainers as well, and if it is on a trainer battle, you can either run or use curse again. If you used curse on the trainer after their pokemon "died," you noticed they are gone now, returning to the same screen shows a tombstone where they should be. After you beat the game and check the hall of fame, it goes from bad to worse. You see a screen of a sizable amount of tombstones, and a movable old character(which is revealed to be you many years later). After returning to the place you started, it shows all the pokemon and trainers you used curse on, then you fight Ghost without anything. You only struggle, and at a certain point when you have critical health, Ghost uses Curse on you and the screen turns black forever. Restarting will show that the save is gone. Short version of it is: Ghost's Curse attack KILLS your opponents, the trainers, and you see a parade of victims that you KILLED. And at the end, that same monster kills you.]]

** Bonus NightmareRetardant when Mr Bucket [[DontExplainTheJoke blabbers various euphemisms for testicles]] when James starts denying the joke.
* Ever heard of ''VideoGame/AliceIsDead 2''? Well, here it is. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/524348 If you want a scare, put on the headphones and look out side a hole in the game. Sweet dreams...
* The ending of ''[[DirtyPotter Dirty the Pooh and the Hundred-Acre Shitpile]]'', [[DirtyPotter Chapter One: In Which Rabbit Stuffs Almost Everything Right in His Ass and a Stupid Black Nigger Goes Poo-Poo in Bed]]. The creepy music combined with Pooh and Eeyore talking about death makes for some pretty severe MoodWhiplash, especially in a series as over-the-top hilarious as Dirty Potter.
** As well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHOZfc1WF4M Dirty the Pooh Chapter 3.]] Inspired by NeonGenesisEvangelion, this features:
*** Piglet getting eaten by Pooh and Kanga, just after Pooh melts his eyeballs.
*** Roo getting cut into bits by a samurai sword-wielding Pooh
*** Trees breaking Rabbit's spine, and Pooh eating his heart, then using his intestines to throttle Piglet
*** DemonicSpiders eating Owl's face
*** The destruction of the Hundred Acre Wood
*** Pooh in general. "It's time for...assembly...from Hell!
*** [[VoiceOfTheLegion "I want souls... thousands and thousands of doomed souls..."]]
** And this is in ''Dirty Potter'', a series that runs entirely on RuleOfFunny. At least it had Ron Weasley's triumphant return (and subsequent banning) and the Four Horsemen of the Stinkocalypse, and their 666 fire-breathing penises.
* In ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', the gore of some scenes is simply unbelievable, including firecrackers being shoved into... *ahem* a part of a woman's anatomy - need more be said? Another, somehow creepier example is the death of Damien Carter-Madison, whereupon he is swamped by the ghosts/zombies of all of his deceased classmates and dragged through a door into a realm which is strongly applied to be hell. The knowledge it is the hallucination of a dying teenager does little to comfort the reader.
** This troper, a newbie to the [=SotF=] scene, was disturbed by the latest character deaths of [[spoiler:Guy Rapide and Mary [=McKay=]. Mary, the girl who got pregnant to Guy (who doesn't want anything to do with the kid), snaps, ties an unconscious Guy to a chair, ''saws'' halfway through one ankle and completely through the other, then ''saws through his penis'', and then saws his neck off. ''And then eats the penis''. Meanwhile, local crazy Wade Wilson arrives, and has hallucinations about a chestburster popping out of Mary's stomach. So he stabs her stomach repeatedly, and then wipes the unborn foetus, which ''got stuck to his knife'', onto Guy's bloody torso.]] Read it all in its bloody, horrifying glory [[http://z10.invisionfree.com/SOTF_V2/index.php?showtopic=2316&st=0&#last here]].
* DoomsdayArcade, when CookingMama appears, if her eyes don't scare the fuck out of you, then the part where she stabs someone while maintaining a sociopath's smile will.
* British {{YouTube}}r [[http://www.youtube.com/user/RandomDCE RandomDCE]] released a series of videos in response to the people who said he was too negative known as [[http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=61EC68634B40268E Percy Positive reviews]], introducing a high-pitched penguin thing known as Percy Positive, who would deliver cheerful reviews of movies. Percy would go over the top however and say creepy lines such as "Isn't mass murder GREAT?" and "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take my pills.". Many fans said Percy was creepy and wished him dead. They all soon regretted this when DCE, for Halloween, made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fIWXMm59MA&feature=channel_page This]].
-->'''Percy Positive:''' Hello everyone. My name is Zombie Positive, and I love those organs in your nice warm bodies.
* In a discussion about {{Squick}} on a newsgroup, someone mentioned a dream... he had incredibly bad acne, and went to the doctor, who injected a drug that opened the pores on his face to an inch wide, then removed the bits of acne grue with tweezers. Bad enough, but then the doctor dripped a bit of sweat and part of his face ''dissolved''. That was over ten years ago, and [[Tropers/{{Azaram}} I]] still have nightmares about it occasionally, and those creepy-ass dried seed husks that some places sell for flower arrangements bring it back...
** I believe you're talking about lotus pods. That is exactly why the shock-meme "lotus breast" was devised. (Don't look it up!)
** Oh ''god'', why did I succumb to morbid curiousity? 'Breasts, seeds and pods? Can't be that ba-AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!'
** Since we're talking about acne... Some people have mentioned, that when they had extremely bad acne, they imagined all sorts of creepy stuff what was going on, such as ''flesh growing inside the pores, pulsing sickenly and how you would pull a string of flesh out of it''.
*** Urban legends being urban legends, though, I am extremely reluctant to believe that. Besides, I also use face-washing stuff to deal with his acne, so it's not as much of a threat as people hype it up to be. Having ''mouth ulcers'' on the other hand, is not fun in any way.
* Arch Oboler, creator of the horror/suspense radio show ''Lights Out,'' issued an album (which I own) called ''Drop Dead! An Exercise in Horror.'' One of the audio plays in this is called "The Dark," about a strange black mist that ''turns people inside out.'' Never, even in Customs, will a rubber glove ever sound so dire.
** Heh. That just reminds me of TheSimpsons Halloween V where they all got turned inside out at the end and started singing..."One! Chorus line of people, dancing till they make us stop...Too! Many dancing people, covered with blood gore and glop..." As Bart is dragged away by Santa's Little Helper...
* For that matter old time radio horror as a format. You have to go into it with the right state of mind since the overly melodramatic style and genre defining "over explaining things for the audience" can quickly turn them into {{Narm}} or NightmareRetardant if you're not in the right mood, but go into some of them right state of mind and you will never be creeped out as much. Many websites have MP3 files of many of the old shows which have long since fell out of copyright like Lights Out, Quiet Please, Inner Sanctum, and the Mysterious Traveler.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqLL5_6cC-4 There's just too much sauce.]]
* The viral marketing for 2010's ''TheLastExorcism'' included a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNSaurw6E_Q short online video]] that was circulated on chat sites like Chat Roulette and Facebook. In this clip, a young woman teases the other person chatting by unbuttoning the top of her blouse and smiling seductively, then she puts her head down for a moment. When she puts her head back up, her eyes roll into the back of her head, her mouth opens (revealing sharp fangs) and she screams as she lunges at the camera - and again right after the screen cuts to black. The worst part was that you could be a kid surfing innocently and just happen to come across this clip while randomly searching for people to chat with.
* On the Ask Ms. Fortune blog from Tumblr, when {{Skullgirls}} character Ms. Fortune was asked how she felt about [[EldritchAbomination Double]], she said she wasn't too worried about her and seemed confident in fighting her. Next thing you know, she's [[HostileShowTakeover not quite]] [[BodyHorror herself]].
