History TearJerker / KillerFrequency

* What happened to George Barrow. Think about it. He was one of many victims of a morbid prank, ending with him going up to a mountain point, and jumping into a river to escape danger... only to be killed, (and the only one killed at that) leaving his girlfriend to mourn.

** It gets worse when you keep in mind some of what you learn about Roller Ricky beforehand, when he first calls in to thank Forrest and Peggy for doing their best to protect the citizens of Gallows Creek; in his own words, back when he was "just Ricky", he ended up falling in with "a bad crowd" and got himself addicted to alcohol, but managed to come back from that low point and turn his life around completely, joining a support group and finding a new purpose in life in roller-skating, as well as adopting Max. At that point, he'll not only explicitly confirm that Max is, very specifically, an ''emotional support dog'' (implying that he still has his share of issues even to this day), but his line afterward that "[... ] I like to think that he rescued me" implies that Max was an essential part of his recovery. It's almost ''merciful'' that the Whistling Man kills him shortly after his dog.

** The entire mission is just as tense and heartrending, under the same vein; Eugine is sobbing and panicking the entire time, all while the Whispering Man is coldly trying to hunt him down with a ''chainsaw''. The fact that you can only hear what's going on, rather than see it for yourself like most horror movies, just makes it all the more bonechilling to listen to. Naturally, all of this easily doubles as NightmareFuel, for the same reasons.

* Eugine Stine's "I'm about to die a virgin!" line when Forrest gets started in trying to save him, [[SkewedPriorities while (bleakly) hilarious]], is also a sobering reminder that this young man is a ''teenager''. He's ''just'' starting out in life, and these should be some of the best years ''of'' his life... and it's a reminder that, if you're not careful, he won't get to have the rest of it. Whether you succeed or fail to save him, it's only further compounded by the implication that his date stood him up.

* To start, failing to save anybody will certainly make you feel terrible, like you could have done more to save them.

The fact that you can only hear what's going on, rather than see it for yourself like most horror movies, just makes it all the more bonechilling to listen to. Naturally, all of this doubles as NightmareFuel, for the same reasons.
