History NightmareFuel / WesternAnimationTV

* ''PhineasAndFerb'' is generally a very tame, kid-friendly but still all-age-inclusive show, with humor that has very little bearing on NausiaFuel or anything like it, which only makes it's occasional dips into NightmareFuel all the more worse. Take the "Smile Away" reformatory from "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" for instance. Combine AdultFear with CrapsaccharineWorld, give it a nice dash of the Pavlovian Treatment from A ClockWorkOrange (Yes, they [[ParentalBonus actually made it look]] ''[[ParentalBonus exactly]]'' [[ParentalBonus like that]]), and have it be run by a CompleteMonster that is a KnightOfCerebus, and that's the basic idea of the place. Oh, and this is all centering on two [[BreakTheCutie completely lovable little boys]]. [[ItGotWorse And it's accidentally their sister's fault they're there]].

* Why hasn't ''MartinMystery'' been mentioned yet? That show had ''lots'' of creepy stuff like [[spoiler: Martin being possessed by the alien creature Gastromo and being turned into something that reminds one of TheExorcist]] or the episode where the shadowy creatures capture almost everyone on Earth?

* Even by the standards of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', the Halloween episode "The Shaving" takes the gold medal. The ''opening scene'' features a really creepy EyeScream. The actual episode features a "harmless" monster [[UnfortunateNames named Willie Nelson]] (he likes juice!) whom Master Shake tries to help become scarier. The HighOctaneNightmareFuel appears with ''less than a minute to go'' before the end credits when we see what's in the attic... [[spoiler:Dozens of bloody corpses piled like cordwood and hanging from the ceiling. Turns out the juice he drinks? It's human blood. Which he then gets by ripping Carl's arms off.

* ''DrawnTogether''. Sometimes it [[CrossesTheLineTwice crosses the line]] a time too many, and becomes [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel High Octane]] {{Squick}}. A few examples:

* While ''Film/TheSecretOfNIMH'' has some good (or bad, depending on how you look at things) Nightmare Fuel sequences in it, it does contain at least one [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel High Octane]] scene in the sequence of flashbacks to the rats' lives at NIMH - from the genetic experimentation to the sight of many mice falling to their deaths in the air ducts during their escape, there is at least one part during that sequence will ultimately scar a child for life.

* The ''TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' character Dr. Barber. Here's an explanation: being in a show that is basically ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'' combined with ''RenAndStimpy,'' he's one of the scariest characters there. Plus, he's involved in most of the HighOctaneNightmareFuel scenes of the show-- like the freak-out scene from ''K'nuckles and His Hilarious Problem,'' ''Fish Heads,'' and ''K'nuckles is a Dirty Rat.''

* ''TheFairlyOddParents'': The episode Timmy's 2-D house of horror. While this particular cartoon sometimes has episodes that [[NightmareFuel unintentionally scary]], this particular episode almost certainly qualifies as as HighOctaneNightmareFuel. Timmy deliberately wished for 3-D glasses that would show horrific images so that Vicky and her family would [[ItMakesSenseInContext move out of the Turner's home]]. These images included severed arms in the food and spaghetti and [[EyeScream eyeballs]]. As the purpose of this episode was to show the most frightening images to Vicky's family, the producers HAD to know it was frightening for children and adults.

** The bit that ''really'' made it HighOctaneNightmareFuel was [[http://knol.google.com/k/bill-geerhart/a-short-vision-ed-sullivan-s-atomic/1uefuvb7s5ifz/8# the fact it was shown]] on the ''EdSullivanShow'' (at the time, probably the most-watched television show in the US) with Mr. Sullivan not kids to leave but advising parents to reassure them it was "just a fantasy--it's all animated". (Just a "fantasy" with scenes like [[BodyHorror people's faces literally melting off]] and [[EyeScream their eyeballs boiling in their sockets]] a la ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.)
** Adding to the HighOctaneNightmareFuel--Ed Sullivan premiered the film on the same month the first successful test of the H-Bomb occured, and even noted that this was meant as an anti-war piece (though emphasizing the animals that got nuked, not the humans). In other words, not only was this HighOctaneNightmareFuel, but a remarkable example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar in Joseph McCarthy-era "Red Panic" America (in which there was a very heavy emphasis on "we will survive" portrayals of nuclear war).

** The [[spoiler:DownerEnding]] borders on nightmare fuel of the [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel high octane]] variety. [[spoiler:In the span of an episode, the entire world has been thrown into an ice age. The world is dark and cold, and will be for "tens of thousands of years." We [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPTUA_wdp78 last see the family alive and grasping at futile optimism]]...picturing them, along with countless other sentient dinosaurs, slowly watching the power die away, the food run out, the question of suicide...]]

*** There's also Mealpiece and that open up mouth of his, plus in his debut he tried to eat Fisk.

* TheLittleEngineThatCould is a cute half an hour kids' film based on a short story. With the exception of a short 20 seconds segment towards the end that features a creepy talking cliff that sounds like some sort of demon from the depths of hell. Even if you don't remember the film, you're likely to remember the nightmares that thing gave you.

* ''HeyArnold'': One episode has Arnold and Gerald working together at a flower shop with Gerald being the boss since the owner injured her leg and appointed him as the temporary manager. After Arnold gets into a fight with Gerald and says that he doesn't want to be friends with him, Arnold's Grandpa tells him about a similar incident that happened to Grandpa himself when he was Arnold's age. Arnold then begins to have a nightmare dream where he and Gerald are old, still former friends, and can't remember what they were fighting about. The dream takes a turn for the disturbing when it cuts to ''the old, withered, corpse of Arnold's Grandpa who's still alive'' where he says something along the lines of "Well, what did I tell ya, Short Man?" while some ominous music plays. He then proceeds to laugh in a ''really, '''creepy''' way'', only for his ''jaw to crack and fall off his skull''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRGogGbYaLU See it here]].

* ''RockosModernLife'': Mr. Bighead's vision of Heffer, Mrs. Bighead, and Rocko as devils in "Cabin Fever". "'''Are you okay, Mr. Bighead?'''" *shudder*

* [[WhiteMaskofDoom Amon]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendofKorra''. Many adult fans have admitted to being terrified of him. In episode 4, A Voice in the Night, he even [[spoiler:serves as high octane nightmare fuel for the main character.]]
* WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic is not to be confused with the older My Little Pony cartoons. While most episodes feature relatively mild problems as the main plot, some episodes are truly scary. Discord, for example, is a [[RealityWarper reality warping]] spirit of chaos who is implied to have ruled over the world for a prolonged period of time in the distant past, and even non-villain characters can be scary, like when Twilight Sparkle goes insane in Lesson Zero.

[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel/{{Anime}} The Japanese]] don't hold a complete monopoly on mind-warping animated horror...

Just because you can watch cartoons for grown-ups or kid's cartoons [[AnimationAgeGhetto unsuitable]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for children]] doesn't mean [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel you won't get scared]].

* ''WatershipDown''. Yes it's a U-rated [[strike:children's]] film...but Bigwig [[spoiler:almost choking to death extremely graphically and realistically]] is horrifying.

** Plus {{the movie}} ''Jonny quest vs the cyber insects''. The bugs are kinda creepy, but not really on the level of nightmare fuel; but then Dr. Zin [[BadBoss kills all of his human assitants]]! Thankfully, two of them are off-screen -then the last one is turned into a human popsicle and crashes to the floor into several pieces.
** That sounds [[strike:kind of]] exactly like ''ForbiddenPlanet''.

** In one scene, they torched an actual beetle and showed its death throes. It wasn't funny after that.
