* In the defuncted "Take This Lollipop" websites, you click on the lollipop and allow the app like you you usually do with apps on Facebook.

* ''Literature/ShadowUnit'': 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.)
* ''[[http://www.dionaea-house.com/ The Dionaea House]]'' Something along the lines of ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' meets ''Literature/HouseOfLeaves'', this 4 part web-based story will definitely make you uneasy of scary noises in your house.

* Literature/WhateleyUniverse: Jade Sinclair is a trans girl who should have been a GenderBender, but due to her peculiar mutation, could not grow past the age of eleven, nor be altered surgically. Fortunately, she managed to fix this through AppliedPhlebotinum, transforming into a fifteen year old girl in a matter of hours. ''Un''fortunately, she manages to catch the IdiotBall, and agrees to undertake a magical ceremony run by someone who is planning to sacrifice her soul to a demon. Because of a link she has to her roommate Tennyo, she survives, but reverts back to male form, with the side effect that she now has high-level regeneration. [[spoiler: When she realizes she is male again, she snaps, and tries repeatedly tries to hack off her male genitals, which regenerate in a few minutes each time. She goes on doing this for several hours, until she passes out from blood loss despite the regeneration.]]

* "Void Memes”, which practically thrive on the NightmareFace trope. Basically they are video remixes similar to Zalgo and screamer memes where the subject of the video is edited into whatever EldritchAbomination the editor can conjured up, as [[HellIsThatNoise ominous music]] and/or EarRape plays over it. While mostly PlayedForLaughs, a lot of them can be downright creepy. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FPqPBxdIn8 Here’s a compilation of them]].

[[folder:Videos: Live Action]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns1SGo3WCF4 Dining Room or There is Nothing]]. It's a loopable video of a pale girl dressed in all white, holding a spoon, in a dark dining room, with fire outside of the window. While the sudden face slam into the bowl might be funny, the words the girl say after lifting her head out of it is chilling.
--->Girl: ''THERE IS NOTHING.''
* The ending of "'LYMPIC GAMES. 'LYMPIC GAMES." where Jack runs into the green screen and it suddenly cuts to his bloody face screaming at the viewer. Definitely a JumpScare.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtSgWZbL_kE I HEARD YOU WERE DOING THE HAND THING]] Two puppet-things deep into UncannyValley engage in a practice called the "Hand Thing". BrokenRecord and plenty of creepy music abound.
** Just watch ''any'' video on that channel. They're ''all'' that creepy!
* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6VMRAGxjOoA Blank Room Soup]]. Just...Blank Room Soup. It’s a video of a shirtless man with his eyes censored, eating...something with an oversized spoon, with [[https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/GSdQTe1ZJmqr0sVQ8mwtWovVbB_17LrVMGg0n_ifTp5xVegM-FN_TMck_cHrl1Y73FOrK2DuGPM these guys]] slowly walking up to him and stroking his back, while he starts crying. Want to feel even more freaked out? It’s allegedly a video from the deep web. There’s also all sorts of rumors about it, like that the stuff the guy is eating is his legs, or his wife.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECW3MyVMe-w&feature=relmfu Try to find a word to describe this!]]. It's just a nature documentary showing parasitic wasps emerging from their hosts.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M4CGMXWW-M The Wotaken]]... An abomination of a video series. It features a nude man wearing a freaky horse mask, dancing around as he does assorted otherwise normal activities. NSFW.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEL6BYzuuTA&feature=endscreen&NR=1 Follow Me]]. This video has a vintage blur effect, garbled voices, and someone wearing the same sort of mask as Batman's Scarecrow.
* The videos of Harrison Callifrax. Being a teenage {{goth}} with [[NoBudget no budget]], the scares are pretty well done, and often comical. So just if you thought you were getting any sleep tonight, there's a [[KillerBunny fluffy white cat gnawing on somebody's flesh]], a shadowy figure with burning eyes finishing a video, and even, well, the self-recognised magnum opus of disturbing (see below).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DviTRSdJG0o Depresso: Everything Else]]. Being a Harrison Callifrax video, it was always going to be heavy on [[BlackComedy dark humour]], but this one is, as even stated by him, the most disturbing video he's ever created. It starts off calm, with a man drinking a cup of an unknown substance, but suddenly everything turns into a black-and-white, slowly moving piece, with a certain [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask familiar creepy backwards tune]], with disturbingly slow and depressing imagery, all heading towards a door, before it slowly opens. The screen [[NothingIsScarier fades to black]], and everything is silent. Then we hear a gunshot.
** Even more disturbing, the following wet footsteps imply it's not a suicide...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_bI1tiEbU8&feature=channel_page This]] Neil Cicierega video which features parasitic kittens, puppies, and one lobster who all eat your bone marrow from the inside out. It does not end well for the unlucky carrier.
--> ''Soon the eggs we laid in Ryan's urethra will hatch!''
** Though it's ultimately a humorous ShaggyDogStory, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUXyl-Xaxr4 "The Dogs"]] is pretty tense (up until the whole thing turns out to have been building up to a Baha Men reference). Actually, even when the punchline has been revealed, the closeups of his flashlight-illuminated, grimacing face are pretty unnerving.
* Are you afraid of clowns? Well [[https://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... 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... Not only that, but after the end of the video, the toy, with its creepy SlasherSmile, stares at you for a full minute.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBHkW0aKHRc The Wyoming Incident]]. It was part of a goon-made ARG, but Jesus Christ this is unsettling to watch.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08rj_ioKNSo No Through Road]]. The sign... The masked dude... The eerie music loop...
* A rather unknown video reviewer named Jacob Rudduck once did a review of ''VideoGame/{{Uninvited}}''. First reaction with the SouthernBelle was slightly funny. But [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLC4zsSCRQ the ending...]] If you think Film/TheDarkKnight version of [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] scares the shit outta you, you'll be scared of him ''even more''. 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...!
* [[LetsMeetTheMeat Let's Meet the Sweets:]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=playnmJB_TI Marshmallow Murder.]] [[SugarApocalypse Egads.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QRHK_Z_X8Y Nippon Kazauwa! AAAAAAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtwEZWONl8M& Scissors.]] Or, what Cosmo Jarvis does when he isn't making awesome music. It's a Tom Waits-esque paranoia trip induced by a suicide. Half-narm, half-legitimate horror.
** Or for that matter, the short film based on his song [[https://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 he just gets away with it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tcR19y7GPM The ending of the Cunningham Muffins advertisement.]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The entire thing is funny]], with flavors like Choco-choco Chip, Asbestos and Elephant...and then there's the blood-flavored muffin. The blood on the lady's mouth is a really creepy moment.
* WebVideo/TheTourettesGuy went on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCzswLFo-I0 one hell of a tirade about a bill his cable company sent him]]. Near the end of his rant, the camera zooms in on his face until all you can see is one eye giving a mean DeathGlare as he made this threat:
--> '''Danny''': "If I don't get a refund, I'm gonna take you to small claims court and take my business to Comcast, ''and once you see my dick, '''YOU WON'T WANT IT!'''''"
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T09iknuzDlw Fantastic Hey Hey Hey.]] Picture the uncanny valley crossed with Hell itself.
** There is, at last, some explanation for this horror -- this is [[https://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.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFsk0Y4OWI This video]]. The human-heads on animal bodies and the awfully slow singing is bad enough, but then throw in a distorted bubbly mutating filter over it all...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3_KtEC1rkk=fvw Ronald Will Get You]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG8wsae-6tU&feature=channel Behold,]] Monster Clown zombies. Surprised the guy who found Happy Meal didn't click this and post it here?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BCGf8FjBPE Mockingbird]]. It starts innocently enough; with a man listening to his wife singing a lullaby to his son. Then the wife walks in through the front door holding groceries; meaning she couldn't possibly be in the room with the kid.
-->'''Woman:''' And if that diamond ring gets broke, momma's gonna slit your little throat.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx1tBjwhXx8 Arachnophobes, before using insecticide, be sure to check the label...]] A guy talks to the camera about a big spider he found in his backyard (cue footage of a pretty big spider) and sprays some insecticide... only he grabs "insect steroids" by accident. Cue CGI spider as big as an entire room and CGI dismemberment.
** Guess what! There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkSZivKpqzk&annotation_id=annotation_774434&feature=iv another]]!
* WebVideo/FiveSecondFilms is mostly comedy; however, that doesn't stop them making the occasional blackened gem such as [[http://5secondfilms.com/watch/super-psyched "Super-Psyched"]], [[http://5secondfilms.com/watch/wishbone "Wishbone"]], or [[http://5secondfilms.com/watch/untitled "Untitled"]]. (Untitled actually originally ran around Halloween; they replaced the main page with it, and ran it full screen. So anyone logging in got a face full of rabbit, and that's scarier than it sounds)
** [[http://5secondfilms.com/watch/appetite Appetite]] starts off with a woman in plaid feeding a man the "last bite" of a meat. Then the camera pans across the shot to reveal she's been feeding him ''his own skin!''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2EK6iYqsuE "The Winter Stalker"]]. "[[StalkerWithACrush Hello, Katie...Did you know I've been...watching you?]]" Yeah, the ending's almost sweet, but DAMN if that Santa isn't horrifying.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjxpfwjBtw This]] horror short called "The Cat With Hands". Creepy much?
* The Dr. C and Elwood ADHD educational series of videos, made by Darren Lynn Bousman's former cinematographer Roderick E Stevens -https://www.youtube.com/user/drcandelwood/about
* Every episode after episode 5 of [[https://www.youtube.com/user/angelaparkes?feature=watch Fabulous Life of Bratz]], especially any episode where someone dies.
* A mysterious video entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzx3TywdETg CLIP_028]] was linked in the comments of a WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID video, and it was really scary. For those who are too scared to look, it starts off with some guys in the woods at night. One of the boys goes missing, and the cameraman finds the missing guy's dead body '''impaled on a pole!''' As the rest of the guys run away, one guy looks for his phone and gets ''pulled away by someone''. And to top it all off, the cameraman runs outside, [[HellIsThatNoise shrieks]] '''[[HellIsThatNoise very]]''' [[HellIsThatNoise loudly]], and splatters blood on a tree.
* The time {Munchie} took over Microsoft Sam's Website/YouTube channel "The Worst Movies Ever".
* The Savannah College of Art and Design put out a few short films that are available on Website/YouTube. In one of them, a little girl is playing outside, bored, when she meets a giant, smiling #2 pencil. She picks up the pencil and draws a cake in the air, and it becomes a cake! She draws a kite in the air, and it becomes a kite! She and her pencil friend run around playing with the things they draw! ...Sounds sweet and whimsical? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4MjTb5A68VA ...It really isn't.]]
* The Cynical Mass remix of Music/{{Friday}} as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti1D9t8n0qA here]]
* The entire video series of DAYWALT HORROR. There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqSyEMQwplo&feature=relmfu one]] about a woman that gets a chair free from Craigslist for her new apartment. As she is sleeping that night, two freakishly horrifying zombies, probably the aunts the previous owner was talking about, climb out of the chair, go over to her, and.....SHE WAKES UP. Phew, that was just a dream, well time to go back to sleep AAHHH!!! That's when the same two things jump up from besides her bed and drag her to the floor screaming. Fade to black. Her body is being dragged down INTO the chair. Fade to black. Two hands come up to "shut" the cushion. Fast forward and the same guy comes to her apartment and answers a phone call. Its someone else wnting the same stinkin' chair, and he tells them they can HAVE it. So this guy knows about what happens with this thing, and he wants it to happen again!
** That's actually just the tip of the iceberg if you look at some of their other vids. The channel is ran by the people [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Fewdiodotcom?feature=watch that run FEWDIO]]. A fact they sometimes [[PlayingAgainstType use to their advantage]], [[http://youtu.be/E5ZHbjpSxLo setting up a horrifying situation]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgGu4cNgkcg&feature=share&list=PLgxiAWb6a_Pvp1Jq8cRSZvmPrj3xyRH2K before it takes a turn for the]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments comical]].
** And they have an ongoing web series called "Camera Obscura". While it's scary as hell and an amazing mix of Eternal Darkness and Fatal Frame, it does have a small amount of NightmareRetardant. For instance, in the very first scene, an old man opens a door with the number 609 in blood on it, and finds a demon with horns and bird beaks for eyes. What does he say? "Alright, let's do this thing..."
*** For your information, the demon was the final "sleeper" (the old man's term for the demons, due to their hibernation) that Clara (the old man's daughter) had to seal within the Camera Obscura (which works similarly to the camera in ''VideoGame/FatalFrame''), after she sealed the five other demons in previous episodes. There were 6 demons in all. (1) Splinter: The Devourer of Healers, (2) Magoria: The Consumer of The Sickened Mind, (3) The Bag: Killer of Heroes, (4) Mister Hurt: Hunter of Children, (5) Mother: Murderer of Those Who Comfort, and (6) The Bad Place: That Which Eats The Lost. Each fed on different facets of human misery, and all were TERRIFYING!
* That [[MonsterClown monster clown]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARNeTMFJ2us&feature=related "Terrifier"]], emphasis on terrifying! It stalks, mutilates, and kills its victims for no other reason than pure sadism. The worse part is that anyone who witnesses it commit its gruesome work will NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE IT!
* The 1997 short film, ''Film/{{Elevated}}''. It manages to be scary even when the monster isn't seen. From Creator/VincenzoNatali, before he directed the similarly claustrophobic ''Film/{{Cube}}''.
* We all know glitches in games can occasionally be creepy. But for the characters in said games? Apparently, for them, glitches are downright [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=8Q2P4LjuVA8&feature=endscreen TERRIFYING]].
** From the same creators, they made the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE-5tJWd2uU horrendous.]] Be aware, this is absolutely not for the easily nauseated.
* So, you thought ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' was scary? ...It's nothing compared to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=rWJtVGBOYpk&feature=fvwp real-life version]] of button-eyes Coraline.
* And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4__abxqF4k here's]] how to make someone's fear of Masklophobia worse, and it's only supposed to be a comedy video.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0TSyIn5KMo This video]] starts out with a simple video of a kid microwaving his Blackberry cell phone. Unfortunately for him, it sets of one of it's features. Or at least we think it was a feature.
* Michelle Phan, known mostly for makeup tutorials and rather tame videos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHkJpjjPIvM did a Barbie makeup tutorial and HOLY SHIT AAH!]] The video quickly goes from Barbie as a prom queen to zombie Barbie, with the tutorual first being a basic Barbie look followed by the how-to for the zombie version.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPrlwQOlhgM Another Michelle Phan makeup tutorial video was posted for Halloween MOTHER OF FUCK!]] The intro to her creepy zombie child makeup tutorial pulls zero punches. In addition to numerous makeup tutorials for women and her own makeup line in stores, she has the unholy ability to make sure you never sleep again.

* There are quite a few microwave videos where someone could have died if they were in the line of fire, or they suffered a minor scare due to a small explosion or backdraft of fire, but in most cases they were fine, just a little spooked. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suPhiHmCjRo Not so in this video, where a guy foolishly microwaves a lava lamp, but it doesn't explode until the timer stops and he opens the door to check on it]]. Unlike most "near-death" microwave videos, this person reportedly suffered wax burns and was showered with broken glass, and was VERY lucky that nothing pierced his jugular and perhaps the only reason he didn't lose an eye is due to wearing safety goggles. Not even the airbag video with Jory Caron or the glow stick kid even come close to this.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVfREVGcaY REAL DEMONS CAUGHT ON TAPE]]. It's from the perspective of a man trapped in his bedroom equipped with nothing but a low-quality camera as ''arms protrude from his ceiling and walls, outstretching their hands to grab him'' (fingers start slipping under his ''door'' at one point). He points the camera at the wall, which then proceeds to ''[[GeniusLoci open an eye]]'' before the camera goes black. The next thing we see is all of the hands gathered to form [[EldritchAbomination a creature]]...that then [[JumpScare lunges directly at the camera and roars]]. Did we mention this video made rounds online due to looking ''incredibly'' realistic?
* [[https://archive.org/details/thelastbroadcast_202003 THE LAST BROADCAST]]. If you're a Millennial, it might be hard for you to understand the X Generation's fears about the possibility of WorldWarIII. This AlternateHistory RadioDrama might help. One of the best things about it is how it mingles the prosaic (oldies tunes, radio commercials) with a building sense of terror at the unfolding events. [[SlowPacedBeginning It starts out slow, but stick with it; it gets better.]]
** On a similar note, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA9r2NNlWMitk1hhR7yj8SA this YouTube channel]] consists of a series of uploads that cover fictional/mockup broadcasts of a military confrontation between NATO and Russia if it were to happen today. Much like The Last Broadcast, each video starts of with coverage of a small skirmish between NATO and Russian forces. Then as the video progresses it slowley gets more out of control...
* There's a channel on Website/YouTube called [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaDLzszuLRJEshmzd7zUEMw Video Bakery]] that mostly makes humorous short parodies. But sometimes you do wonder what the hell was going through their heads when they made certain videos. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is4R9czWf4w This one]], "Button Sweaters", is as hilarious as it is creepy. It starts out pretty normal, with two guys talking about their sweater business, then they get to the parking lot and... well, things fall apart quickly. Let's just say it doesn't end well. Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9VvTnz059M this one]], called "Clowning Around" which is exactly what it sounds like (really, don't click it if you're afraid of clowns.) While Button Sweaters is still funny in some ways, Clowning Around is just creepy through and through. The guys from Video Bakery themselves ''admit'' that sometimes they just want to creep you out.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzwbOZKfrUQ A video]] began circulating on the Internet of a bear attacking a deer, gnawing on the back of its neck while it lets out bleating screams of agony. You can even ''hear'' the sounds of the bear chewing into the deer.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xzpqJfTYRM This video]] of a few teenagers going around in an abandoned school recording stuff...until they end up recording a headless ghost walking right towards them, but, the thing is, they don't freak out and continue on like they didn't even see him and creepy crying/chanting/long groans of pain are heard through the rest of the video but the boys apparently don't hear it. Supposedly, they only saw the ghost and heard the voice after they saw their captured footage.
** The fact that everything is low quality is much creepier, as editing the sounds and the ghost in would be very difficult while keeping the video's quality.
** The "crying/chanting/groans" are actually the nearby mosque. The video is from the Mid-East [[ContrivedCoincidence and it's just the call to prayer, not ghost-groanings.]] That said; The headless figure is still creepy.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ARwo2gxqaU "Pizza Time remastered new on Nickelodeon"]] is equal parts [[NauseaFuel nauseatingly disturbing]] and flat-out disturbing. It has people dressed in inflatable suits as the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles and circle jerking onto a pizza (imagine OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank but with semen instead of blood), cutting a turtle's head in half ([[NightmareRetardant although it's clearly a watermelon]]), and ''[[EyeScream gouging its eye out]]'' before continuing to stick fingers and knives into the eye hole.
* You think ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fatalities are gruesome? Try imagining them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icN6rblqYRg in real life]]. A guy brutally murders his friends by brutally beating up one before pressing his face on a grill and ripping his head off, and forcing the second one partially through a sawblade before manually ripping their head out. Then the guy murders an ''innocent child'' by spearing him through the chest and ripping his heart out. After this, the guy gets impaled through the chest by the kid's grandma before he gets ''his whole intestine'' taken out, with which he gets flogged. After ''that'', the video saves the grisliest for last when the grandma is killed by "Black Scorpion" in a truly horrific display: he [[EyeScream destroys her eyes]] and ''rips her jaw off''. SerialEscalation of the most chilling variety. And all because [[DisproportionateRetribution his friend said that the new Mortal Kombat game was shit.]]
* There's a video on Live Leaks entitled "Boiling Water Challenge", a truly warped parody of the ice bucket challenge. The Brazilian man doing this is clearly quite disturbed as you can tell by his behaviour. He does an update five days later showing the burns he got from the water. Laughing and talking like a maniac the whole time. Look it up at your own risk.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETrFQ1tHLD0 This]] is a "paranormal video" showing a man in his house. Toward the end, he finds a shadowy crying figure in the corner of the room, and closes the door. When he opens it again, the expectation is that she disappeared. Nope. When he opens the door, '''''she's standing just a few feet away from it.'''''

* If ComicBook/TheJoker has real-life counterpart, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R3qMrNMSRY this man]] (the video in the link is re-uploaded by someone else, the original account who created and uploaded the video has been deleted) might be the the closest candidate. To explain; on the anniversary of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Maura_Murray disappearance of Maura Murray]] in 2012, the guy uploaded this video of him laughing uncontrollably and ended it with a wink and the words "Happy Anniversary". His username, [=Dirtbag112=], was a reference to the road she disappeared on and a comment made by her father. While the FBI investigated the man and found out he was just a deranged prankster, it doesn't make his laughter any less ''creepy''.
* [[https://youtu.be/UDSfMmwNU2w This video]] about a mysterious person in PlagueDoctor costume is uploaded in 2015 Halloween. As if a plague doctor mask is not creepy enough, it's popularly theorized that the binary code title of the video is translated as "death". Beneath the code is another encrypted message, which reads, “You have one year or less”. And [[http://www.inquisitr.com/2510749/plague-doctor-masked-figure-threatens-to-kill-president-obama-in-creepy-video/ this]] is one of explanation and theory about what the hell it may really mean. Is it a death threat? A halloween prank? A bioterrorism threat? Or a clever viral marketing campaign for a thriller movie ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_%282016_film%29 Inferno]]''? Nobody is sure.
* [[https://vimeo.com/116477886 Girl Goes Psycho During Makeup Tutorial.]] This is a video about a girl who, you guessed it, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin goes psycho during a makeup tutorial.]] However, it's the execution that's terrifying. It starts out as a normal makeup tutorial with live feed of a web browser on the left side of the screen. But halfway through the video, the feed suddenly stops as the girl stops talking and looks forward with a sudden look of fear in her eyes... And then she slams her head into the table in front of her again and again and again until you can see blood leak out.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzIPWKauRLA "Cake"]] by Robert Benfer easily deserves a mention, which involves a poisonous chocolate cake and [[TooDumbToLive Brain eating the cake anyway despite his friend's warnings.]] While it starts off relatively humorous like Benfer's other videos, it gets very horrific about 2:46 in. [[{{Squick}} It's not for those who are squeamish.]]
* Chainsawsuit Original's two ''WebVideo/{{Local 58}}'' shorts: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV0I-iA5lJU "Contingency"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw_HKzo9Ync "Weather Service"]]. You will never look at "end of broadcast day" or EAS announcements the same way, ever again.

* Sammie made a heartbreaking yet inspiring TearJerker [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ_b2yszLjg video about her struggles with depression and anxiety]]. The nightmare fuel is her rant in the middle about how her therapist failed her. It's unnerving and scary to see the normally sweet, kind, upbeat, and positive Sammie get so angry. At first it's a TranquilFury with each word having the impact of a dagger but builds into a crescendo of SuddenlyShouting for about two minutes. It's actually downright terrifying the way she's yelling and unleashing years worth of pent up rage at the camera. Yikes! I'm sure you'll be glad you're not her therapist after that.
* Glam and Gore is a makeup channel that straddles beauty and horror FX makeup...and while frequently SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome, the horror side gets scary.
** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8TyOoJxb2w8 This video]], even after it was revealed to be faked is still pretty terrifying. If you want to know, It starts out as pretty normal live stream, until things start getting weird. Eventually, Mykie walks away from the computer for a few minutes and the camera is left filming an open door to a dark room. And then you can barely see a face in the dark before it fades away. The stream runs on a little longer, then ends. NothingIsScarier, indeed.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUPQSWEldjA This video]] is a list of Halloween costume ideas, which starts off with fairly common and harmless costumes. Then the Pop Art Girl costume gets red eyes, the Deer costume gets shot with an arrow, and the pretenses of these being cute costumes are completely over, going from 0 to 100 very quickly afterward. The "costumes" afterward are: a pirate who reveals a pattern of holes under his eyepatch, from which spider legs emerge, a doctor removing their own organs, a slasher-victim escaping a killer, a mental patient full of spiders, and a MonsterClown that has many horrifying faces and very unnerving behavior. The last costume? [[MoodWhiplash Donald Trump]].
* Aldo Jones' [[https://youtu.be/WoQOmhoLPXc parody of the trailer for]] ''Film/Venom2018''. Sure it's pretty funny for the most part, but that moment where Eddie Brock looks in the mirror and sees the corrupted Peter Parker from ''Film/Spiderman3'' staring back at him and saying he's trash right before he's thrown across the bathroom is pretty unsettling.
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcntt5ofRqU Metalosis Maligna]]'', by Floris Kaayk. A fake disease caused by the introduction of badly adjusted metal implants into the human body, where these same implants start springing out in tendrils that rupture skin and transform the human body into complete BodyHorror. '''Very NSFW'''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWqI0U3pBdA This is a fairly old video]] that was very popular on Youtube back in 2008. It features two friends pranking another friend constantly with his fear of aliens, until everything goes wrong when the real aliens appear. It's ''how'' the alien is introduced that makes it terrifying. As we're about to see the friend get pranked for the third time, there is a sudden [[JumpScare loud noise]] that interrupts the prank. As the door is opened, we see an alien standing ''right next'' to Chad on the bed, which the camera zooms in on, only for it to ''look back at it very suddenly''. To top it all off, when the room is investigated again, the aliens show up '''right in the doorway, with its face right in the camera!''' While the video is obviously fake, just look in the comment section and you'll see that ''a lot'' of people got disturbed by this video back in 2008, thanks to the fairly good effects and very effective sound design.
** By the same creator, we have ''[[https://youtu.be/621aRBROwmE Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly]]''. The premise is the same, with two friends scaring another with his fear of mountain devils, but this time, shit hits the fan incredibly quickly. First of all, the mountain devils themselves look ''straight out of Franchise/SilentHill'' as they were 3D rendered. Second of all, the loud screeches they make are incredibly scary, specially with the way that it's implemented early in the video by having NothingIsScarier used as they go searching for their lost friend. And third of all, the final jumpscare, where the mountain devil crashes straight through the windshield and kills the cameraman, with a SmashToBlack? Yeah, that also sent many kids hiding under their desks back in 2010.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99YtN5qJ5cI This]] fake Fire Kills [[PublicServiceAnnouncement PIF]], which was often mistaken for a real one. It's a home video-styled ad that opens on a man sleeping in a chair, with a cigarette between his fingers, all the while an (off-screen) television is on. Throughout the duration of the video, the camera focuses on the still-burning end of the cigarette in the man's hand, which slowly starts to sag, threatening to fall off. Just when it does, the video instantly cuts to '''[[NightmareFace a giant skull surrounded in flames]] [[JumpScare that lunges towards the screen and screams at you]]'''. It's terrifying even if you know it's coming, and needless to say, [[SensoryAbuse you won't want to watch the ending with anything other than a low volume]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWXnt2Z2D1E "My house walk-through"]]: It starts out as a tour through an ordinary, if humble and somewhat rundown, Japanese house in the middle of a stormy night, and the video description even assures that [[BlatantLies "This is not horror video"]], but things quickly start getting weird: [[spoiler: [[AlienGeometries the tour becomes an endless loop]], with the state of the house deteriorating more and more each consecutive walkthrough.]] Adding to this is the DissonantSerenity of the subtitles, as the narrator seems entirely oblivious, even when [[spoiler: they come upon the rotting corpses of their long-dead grandparents]]. If it proves to be too intense, the creator also provided a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtJ5rVfHkCA making of]], which is pointedly set to comically cheery music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niFCK-Pl3Vc Itsudemo soko ni... [=McDonald=]]] [[labelnote:Translation]] [[ParanoiaFuel Always there for you]]... [=Mcdonald's=][[/labelnote]] These are a series of fake [=McDonalds=] commercials from a Japanese sketch series in which Ronald [=McDonald=] opens a locked door from the outside, calls a girl from a dark alley, hides under a girl's bed (similar to the character of Creator/MartinLawrence from ''College Road Trip'' (2008) while sneaking into some girl's dorm of the college in the middle of the night), and escapes from [[NothingIsScarier an unseen thing]]. The four fake commercials end with a creepy distorted voice saying the above slogan.
** Taken as a whole, all four of the fake commercials seem to tell a complete story. A stalker dressed up as Ronald [=McDonald=] attempts to break into a woman's apartment, harasses her at work, and finally hides under her bed [[TooDumbToLive (while being completely visible to us and the woman)]] and presumably murders her. Why else would he be running after all?

* ''Literature/TheAngloAmericanNaziWar'' ([[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=140356 available here]]) is a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII AlternateHistory where the Third Reich is able to defeat the USSR by 1943, causing the Western Allies to sign a ceasefire with the Reich, and so the Nazis are given free reign to put into action all the plans they had for occupied Europe in RealLife, and the author of this scenario pulls absolutely no punches in depicting just how insane and genocidal these plans were. The population of European Jews, Roma and other "undesirables" are almost entirely liquidated (the number of surviving European Jews by the war's end in 1960 is roughly ''two thousand'', out of millions), and millions of Russians and Poles are enslaved and either worked to death in labour camps and farms or conscripted as CannonFodder. Hostilities are resumed when the Nazis launch a nerve gas attack on Britain which results in the deaths of 50,000 civilians [[spoiler:and the deaths of the entire British royal family]]. This alternate Operation Overlord results in an absolutely brutal no-hold-barred war where basically the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride through Europe and throw a party - the British launch anthrax attacks on German cities which render them almost entirely uninhabitable for ''centuries'', the Americans do the same with atom bomb strikes and massive bombing campaigns, and the increasingly desperate and irrational Nazis begin using gas attacks, conscripting ChildSoldiers to use as suicide bombers and berserker storm-troopers, and [[spoiler:systematically destroying cultural and artistic works and civilian infrastructure in a massive orgy of violence, topping it off with the complete annihilation of Paris]]. The Allies win the war by 1960, but with overwhelming might and massive losses on both sides, and international geopolitics are massively shifted - with no USSR, there's no RedScare or Cold War, most of Eastern Europe is entirely depopulated and in anarchy, most of ''Western'' Europe basically resembles ''Film/MadMax'' or ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'', and the Western democracies are so horrified by the scale and destruction of the war that they become a bunch of cynical nanny-state dictators who adopt a DisproportionateRetribution policy to any wars or unsanctioned space launches anywhere in the world and are willing to inflict massive civilian casualties to avoid anything that might lead to World War III, as they [[spoiler:bomb Stettin from orbit and kill 275,000 people because a right-wing uprising in the city is rebelling to reunite Germany]].

[[folder:Music/Remixes]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQUaEF2bJZ0 "The Device Has Been Modified"]], a remix of dialogue from VideoGame/{{Portal}}. It makes everything so damn creepy, especially at the end. Especially since if you forget and leave it on, a full ten seconds or so of silence after the "end," [[LastNoteNightmare a Turret whispers "Are you still there?" with demonic reverb.]]
** The download of the song has the Turret speak much sooner after [=GLaDOS=] says "goodbye," so the creepiness of it is lessened a little. Not by much, though.
** "Please proceed to android hell." Cue Rage Sphere.
* "The Smote's Lullaby" is a fan-song for Webcomic/HedoneHigh. Just... Just the little kid weeping at the end... Damn.
* [[http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/suzannevega29.shtml This song parody]] by someone named after a line from Michael Jackson's song "Smooth Criminal" is a nightmarish attempt at a song about Tonight Show host Jay Leno- the song coming off as more of an Alice Cooper-like vibe to it and with the portrayal of Jay being more like Heath Ledger's Joker crossed with Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd. It makes the whole thing look more like a horror novel than a song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVXFyZsnAa4 "Silent Bonk"]]. It is a testament to how creepy ''Franchise/SilentHill'' music is that even having the Scout from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' [[Main/StupidStatementDanceMix "bonk" over it]] fails to blunt the fear factor.
** On that note, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs65S-1o-Os "One-Winged Scout"]] reveals exactly how creepy the Scout's cries [[ManOnFire when he is set on fire]] are.
* Some Website/YouTube user thought it was a fun idea to upload a video of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B95Z_cghzA8 G Major!]]
* The ''BMS of Fighters'' composer [=LeaF=] and video producer Optie sometimes team up to produce some seriously disturbing songs and music videos:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC-bVtpIMd4 "MopeMope"]] seems like a saccharine jingle for toddlers at first, but it soon takes a turn for the worse when the music suddenly glitches out, replaced by a hellish droning noise. It quickly reverts back for a second, but it doesn't take long at all for Hell to return, this time with an ominous, horrific version of the tune. Things only go further downhill from there as the music devolves into what can only be described as nightmares given life. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfnM0W5kVAg The extended version]] isn't much better, even with a silly rock remix of the tune starting it.
** The same partnership between [=LeaF=] and Optie brings us "MARENOL". Explicitly labeled as R-18G (which in Japanese culture means not suitable for minors ''and'' it has extremely gory content). Rendered in a [[{{Retraux}} pixel style]], the video features all manners of creepy, bloody imagery, like faceless women suddenly having holes in their faces, one of them being shackled and then torn to shreds by a series of gears, and a woman hung (presumably) dead on a noose before falling onto a giant spike and releasing gallons of blood.
*** [[http://manbow.nothing.sh/event/event.cgi?action=More_def&num=370&event=123 The (thankfully fictitous) story behind all of this]] (English translation [[https://pastebin.com/YmmD0nt8 here]]) is just as disturbing: A depressed girl found herself past the DespairEventHorizon, and sought a way to finally [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]]. She comes across an antidepressant known as [[TitleDrop Marenol]], and noticed that one of the side effects is dreams so horrific they "approach death". So she went ahead and started taking it, and discovered that what was meant by the side effects is that it gives her some absolutely horrific nightmares that feel like death every night, but doesn't actually kill her, almost as if the drug [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor twisted her wish]]. She does feel better as a result, but it comes at a very steep price.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAlkyxz2mU The Boys Are Back in Town (to kill you)]] is a silly HorrorComedy video that remixes a classic Music/ThinLizzy song. Its sequel on the other hand, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsF5EWOQN9Y Kiss Me (Kill Me)]], is... not a comedy. It's a lovely blend of FoundFootage, AnalogHorror, and NothingIsScarier. Most of the video is a police report on a pop song that slowly becomes more and more deranged as ''something'' happens to the singer. Whether she's hallucinating, being infected by something, or being possessed is left ambiguous since most of the video is just an audio transcipt.

Watch the walkthroughs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_Kt_Lebgw&feature=channel_page here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4OB58zBjq4&feature=channel_page here]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50qycWWng30&feature=channel_page here]], and finally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Dd9D5O8&feature=channel_page here]]. The part after [[spoiler:the protagonist's husband gets stung by the monsters]] is especially 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.
* ''VideoGame/{{Covetous}}'', a {{retraux}} Flash game found on Newgrounds ('''WARNING: contains flashing lights'''). You start off as a single pixel, collecting other pixels in a level shaped like a man's body. As you collect more and more pixels and as the atonal background "music" drones on and on, your pixel-blob and the items it must collect grow and grow as your character slowly transforms into a parasitic twin, the man's face growing progressively less cheerful all the while. The between-round intermission texts become progressively more psychotic and demented; eventually even the music (such as it was) vanishes, replaced by a series of loud beeps. In the final level, you are instructed to mash the left and right arrow keys to help what is now a miniature EldritchAbomination tear its host open from the inside and unleash itself upon the world. [[spoiler:But you can also choose to let the man live; by waiting around on the final stage for long enough, the fetus-within-a-fetus realizes that two wrongs don't make a right and reduces itself to a quiet existence as a benign tumor.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/DieAnstalt Die Anstalt: Psychiatry for Mishandled Plush Toys]].'' Everything that made ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' worthy of an entry on the Nightmare Fuel pages, but with severe mental disturbances. Take Dolly: After ''that'' BodyHorror and MushroomSamba, as well as the expression on [[spoiler:the wolf]], you 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 OffscreenInertia.
* The sadly defunct ''Hotel 626''. Start off with the fact that it was 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. And when you [[spoiler:do finally escape]], you get a cool down moment where [[spoiler:the guest sits in his car and starts to pull out of the driveway]] while calming music plays. Before [[spoiler:looking in the rearview mirror and [[DangerTakesABackSeat seeing a corpse-like creature in the back seat]]]]. In its original form, it also featured microphone, camera and phone integration, so you could get spooky calls from the hotel for hints... including a final call about two weeks after you finished the 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.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.
* VideoGame/MonsterBasement, a flash game series, has a bit of this, for examples, [[http://armorgames.com/play/192/monster-basement play it right here!]]
** To be more specific, the entire premise is that your character heard your friend screaming, only to be knocked out and wake up in a creepy, dark basement. You're locked in and have to find a way out before the monster that abducted you comes back to eat you. There's one fun part where you go into a dark room and put a new light bulb into the socket, [[spoiler:only to be terrified to see a Mud Monster coming after you in the now-lit room. You need to kill it with an axe.]] Oh, and when you finally get the key to the door? [[spoiler:The phone rings. When you pick it up, the most creepy voice imaginable informs you that he'll be there soon to kill you, at which point the background music changes from its usual soft rhythm to being incredibly frantic.]] That's just in the ''first'' game. The second game has you and your friend trying to escape from the house itself, which has a zombified family living in it. Among various creepy delights, there's the man in the kitchen calmly ripping apart a dead monster for dinner and pictures in the living room that change in the dark. There's also one point where you have to watch a DVD. If you have a certain item, you can freeze time and see [[spoiler:that one of the "pictures" is actually another zombie person, who was attempting to kill you from behind. If you don't freeze time, the game will end as you're killed from behind by a chainsaw.]] You won't even know what happened.
* The VideoGame/MinotoSeries is a bunch of cute point-and-click adventure games which are about as far from scary 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.
* ''VideoGame/AliceIsDead'': The games' interpretation of the Cheshire Cat is [[spoiler:a mad scientist's young daughter who suffered a TeleporterAccident by messing with her father's experiments and became fused with one of the cat test subjects.]] She's actually helpful, but she gives you at least one JumpScare. Which isn't helped by her looking like [[http://aliceisdead.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cheshire_cat.jpg this]].
* [[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 ''VideoGame/CookingMama'' from PETA. It may not to lead to any converts to the cause, but probably a few nightmares.
* ''[[VideoGame/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 [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments worth the fear]], though.
* Some people find the Videogame/{{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 this one in particular stands out.
* Some of the "Cartoon Character - Subject" bootleg type flash games (like ''[[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]] Foot Doctor'') can [[AccidentalNightmareFuel accidentally]] fall into this, what with these games occasionally being graphic and cringeworthy (like using a scalpel and making the patient ''visibly bleed'' in surgery games), having creepily designed characters (like a pony with ''a huge human mouth'') or just having an unnerving theme (one of the games revolves around ''maiming a baby at a hair salon''), among other things. What's more is that these games [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids were apparently intended for children]]. WebVideo/JonTron discusses these in his "Disney Bootlegs" video.
* "VideoGame/SadSatan", a certain "deep web" horror game built on the ''Terror Engine'' which gained plenty of exposure by gaming channels, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9fMBvk6PDY such as]] WebVideo/SomeOrdinaryGamers. It plays out like a typical first-person horror game (much like ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent''), except that the music is distorted, the visuals are monochromatic, and there's unexplained child figures and a woman screaming. But the game is most infamously known for displaying horrifying real images of people being mutilated -- [[JumpScare without warning]] -- at certain intervals. Mutahar ([=SomeOrdinaryGamers=]' host) became physically ill from both the music and the aforementioned images, and he quickly removed the link to the game from the video description and reported it to the [=FBI=] for its illicit material. It came to the point where Mutahar's viewers became ''worried'' about his health, but luckily he posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCjkgTnKT20 a follow-up video]] confirming that he was alright.
* Long ago on Nick.com, there used to be games called Clickamajigs which are just random games where you can click on something to make it happen. All of them were funny, like International Toe Stub, Gum Chewing Alien, Mr. Whatever, and many more. But there was one clickamajig that was scary: it was a Halloween game called [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9yX8ynalxVg Black Licorice]]. In this game, you can give kids caramel candies to trick or treaters with cute faces, but when you give them black licorice leftover from last Halloween, things… change. The kid then says "Black licorice?" Then the kid's face turns demonic, complete with horns, photoshopped eyes, and a demonic voice screaming "I DON'T LIKE BLACK LICORICE!" Then someone screams and slams the door on the kids. But even worse, you can send this to someone. This time, there's no black licorice, just caramel candies. Pretty harmless, right? Wrong! After you finish giving them candies, someone closes the door, then one of the kids peeks through the door flap and says "Oh yeah, almost forgot..." Then the kid breaks through the door and shouts this in a demonic tone: "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" Geez, this was a kid's game! ''What were they thinking?''
* ''VideoGame/NineteenSixteenDerUnbekannteKrieg'' by Kriegsgraben and Stormvogel is a first-person survival horror game about a soldier who is trying to escape from the trenches which are crawling with [[RaptorAttack Raptors]]. The worst part? You don't have any weapons to fight them off! The only thing you can do is throw some severed limbs at them to slow them down.

When it doesn't, you'll see plenty of horrific images of warped people that occupy a gap between NightmareFace and BodyHorror.
