The now-cut page for ''VideoGame/MyYouthfulSickoTest'' didn't even try to list Nightmare Fuel. And I don't mean that it overexaggerated non-scary things, or listed FridgeHorror, or speculation, or anything like that. I mean that it literally did not even ''remotely'' resemble Nightmare Fuel in any way, shape, or form. What was actually on there was what looked like an incomplete walkthrough of the game. ...Well, okay, there was one thing that maybe was vaguely nightmarish, a brief mention that the first decoration you get is a bucket full of severed body parts. But then the rest of the example just described how to unlock it, and other in-game info about it. None of the other decorations listed on the page sounded even mildly creepy.

NightmareFuel/MortalKombatX: this example is too long to write down, as the page used to list ''every single FinishingMove and [[LimitBreak X-Ray Attack]] in the game'' (and there are a lot of them). OK, sure, maybe a few of the fatalities really are gory enough to be genuinely disturbing to all but the most hardened of souls, but if you're playing ''Mortal Kombat'', you're probably desensitized enough to not flinch when a fictional character gets decapitated.

NightmareFuel/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic: Previously, there was at least one example for ''every single episode of the show''. Now, [[VileVillainSaccharineShow the show can actually get surprisingly dark]] with some of its villains, but the majority is a SliceOfLife affair in a SugarBowl-like setting. Here are a few of the more ridiculous shoehorn attempts:
[[folder:My Little Pony]]
[[AC:Applebuck Season]]
* It's actually kind of disturbing how far the animators push Applejack's failing condition onscreen. More than just tiredness, it comes across as her succumbing to exhaustion as even her hearing starts playing up, in addition to her falling asleep on the spot.
** This gets worse if you've ever come across information regarding a Russian Sleep Experiment...
* Those baked ''bads''. Applies in-universe as well. Oh, and Spike was eating them like potato chips.
[[AC:Griffon the Brush Off]]
* Gilda treating the citizens of Ponyville like dirt can hit close to home for those who have been bullied. The worst of it is when she picks on and then roars at [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] simply because they bumped into each other.
** That roar is quite scary in and of itself.
** Gilda's other bullying is not to be trifled either. When she crashes Pinkie's helicopter, any other pony would have been seriously hurt. Except, well, [[NightmareRetardant she's Pinkie.]]
* Griffons eat horses in traditional mythology. Think about ''that''.
* Pinkie's joy buzzer may remind some of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Joker]].
* Twilight making potions. Becomes even worse if you've seen ''WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom''.
[[AC:Suited for Success]]
* You've poured your heart and soul into a gift for your best friends. They don't like it at all.
* You then work yourself to exhaustion, trying to make the gift exactly how your friends want it. You stake your professional career on the results. [[CausticCritic The critics hate it]].
[[AC:Sonic Rainboom]]
* When Rarity enters the Best Young Flier Competition, she boasts some [[UncannyValleyMakeup over-the-top makeup and clothing]] for her performance. This makes her look [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130223045222/mlp/images/a/a6/Rainbow_Dash_worried_S1E16.png unsettling]] to say the least.
* The entire scene where Rarity plummets to her doom. It starts when her wings disintegrate by bursting into flames after she [[IcarusAllusion flies too close to the sun]]. Then, as she plunges to the ground, she lets out some terrifying screams. Three Wonderbolts attempt to save her but she [[FromBadToWorse knocks them out cold with her flailing hooves]]. [[spoiler: [[NightmareRetardant Thank Celestia for Rainbow Dash being able to perform the Sonic Rainboom when she needed to most.]]]]
** Celestia doesn't do anything to help during the entire scene. An inversion of RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething, a RecliningReigner, TheCaligula, or something even worse?
*** And it's not just Celestia. This is Cloudsdale, home of the Pegasi, and ''nopony'' did anything to help.
* Imagine being one of the weather factory workers who had all your work blown away by some stranger with a fancy new pair of magic wings. That would certainly suck. A regular day of work is enough to invoke bad dreams in many people, let alone a day in which you're put behind schedule by someone else's incompetence.
[[AC:The Show Stoppers]]
* The Cutie Mark Crusaders getting caught on Pinkie Pie's candy machine in "The Show Stoppers" is really frightening, especially with their bodies disappearing in the rainbow goop and only their [[EyeScream eyes]] left visible. They came out intact (albeit sticky) but still.
** Becomes [[HarsherInHindsight more horrifying]] once FanFic/RainbowFactory came out.
* Congratulations, you just embarrassed yourselves on stage in front of the entire town! Like that dream of being on stage in your underwear, or going to school naked. Only real.
** It's a miracle none of the Crusaders were hurt during that collapse.
[[AC:Green Isn't Your Color]]
* Despite it being PlayedForLaughs, Twilight Sparkle [[EyeScream poking her eye with her hoof]] while reciting the Pinkie Promise is unsettling.
[[AC:Over a Barrel]]
* The moment when Rarity interrupts the Mane Six's joking in the train car, with a mud mask and cucumber slices on her face. It... [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/0/08/Rarity_mud_mask_cucumbers_S1E21.png/revision/latest?cb=20110901164036 isn't pretty.]]
[[AC:Sisterhooves Social]]
* Sweetie Belle manages to burn ''juice''. Which literally should not be possible. And she liquefies toast. LethalChef taken UpToEleven. And apparently her mother is just as bad or worse.
* Sweetie Belle has done her absolute best to help Rarity and be a good sister; unfortunately, her innocent nature means she can't understand what she's done wrong. It only makes Rarity angrier and angrier with every mistake. Finally, Rarity explodes and tells Sweetie Belle she no longer wishes to be sisters at all! Sweetie agrees and leaves; the realism of their argument and anger is incredible.
** After a while, Rarity finds Sweetie Belle's picture, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone takes back the horrible things she said]] and [[AdultFear looks all over town]] so she can apologize. When she finds Sweetie Belle, she doesn't accept her apology and wishes to be Applejack's sister instead. Rejection is hard no matter what, but being disowned by a ''family'' member is worse yet.
[[AC:Sweet and Elite]]
* This episode features a split-second closeup of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Memory Salvador Dali-esque painting]] of ponies being horrifically stretched and melted. And Rarity approves of it!
[[AC:The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]
* Big Macintosh falling on the treadmill and getting stuck on the belt. While an [[AmusingInjuries amusing injury]], it rolled him around like a rag doll because he was going so fast.
* Film and Flam showing NoOSHACompliance when they [[NauseaFuel make tainted cider with rocks and twigs, and serve it to ponies]].
[[AC:Apple Family Reunion]]
* There is something unnerving about Granny Smith [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF1aaxIUa3w&feature=player_detailpage#t=116s stretching her face back]] [[UncannyValley making herself look much younger]].
* Applejack's entire family on a cart about to crash into the barn, after which the barn collapses on top of it and possibly kills off her entire family? [[SarcasmMode Voilà, a family reunion to remember.]]
[[AC:Games Ponies Play]]
* The Mane Six go out of their way to accommodate a random pony and make her feel welcome in the Crystal Empire... only to discover that she ''isn't'' the games inspector. Had Ms. Harshwhinny not had a change of heart, they would have been responsible for screwing the Crystal Empire out of their bid to host the Equestria Games.
[[AC:Pinkie Apple Pie]]
* Everything with Goldie Delicious is either this or a CrowningMomentOfFunny, or a FunnyAneurysmMoment. Her hoarding is played in a disturbingly realistic way, and her animal abuse is likewise played as such; she's downright neglectful of her cats (not cleaning up after them, leaving one's corpse just sitting by some books), and seems to see them as no different than the items in her house, throwing them outside with junk.
* "Dusty", the cat that was dead for so long it just blew into dust.
** Although some people think it was actually just dust shaped like a cat, like a "dust bunny".
*** Just to say, in Italian dust bunnies are called "gatti di polvere" that translates in "dust cats"
* A [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos "Slenderman"]] type character makes a very quick cameo near the end.
* The Scariest Cave in Equestria. It's given a NothingIsScarier presentation that lets us imagine any horrific things we want that would leave the Apples so traumatized. Becomes NightmareRetardant when Pinkie decides to take a picture (and they don't seem to suffer any ill effects afterwards, aside from trauma).
* The raft plunging over the waterfall a la [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Splash Mountain]], complete with an EatTheCamera take from Applejack as the Apples scream. Even with the steering wheel broken off, they're given only seconds to steer their raft out of the way when they discover it and their panicked behavior doesn't help. Pinkie even takes pictures of their terrified expressions.
[[AC:Simple Ways]]
* In a display of extreme ToonPhysics, Pinkie gets so worked up that her head inflates like a balloon and she floats away on it.
** This has enough resemblance to the way the clones in "Too Many Pinkie Pies" blew up when Twilight zapped them (see above) to make it just that little bit worse.
* Rarity's [[{{SanitySlippage}} descent into insanity]] as she tries more and more to be like Applejack, even going so far as to leap into a mud puddle. PlayedForLaughs, or this?
* YMMV for some, but Trenderhoof's mannerisms towards Applejack as the episode goes along turns more from 'absolutely gobsmacked' to 'borderline stalkerism'.
** At least the episode makes it clear that this is not acceptable behavior.

No, making your favorite show's NightmareFuel page as long as possible doesn't make it look cooler. It just makes us all look like easily-frightened cowards. So please, think before adding something to the page.
!! Worst of Nightmare Fuel:
Here are a few of the most mind-bogglingly bad examples that were removed by the cleanup thread.
----
[[folder:Initial D]]
* During a practice run saddled with an inferiority complex, Iketani ends up crashing into a guardrail. Ouch. He survives, but is unable to race in the upcoming [=SpeedStars=] vs. [=RedSuns=] race.
* Shingo's Establishing Character Moment: Bumping into Iketani's car on purpose while the latter's just going for a practice run. Shingo later causes Itsuki to crash even though he was on a date.
* When Shingo attempts to crash Takumi's Sprinter and fails, resulting in his EG6 Civic taking heavy damage. And that was a lucky break- at worst, he could have been killed by falling off.
* When Iketani and Itsuki go for rides with Takumi to see how he races, they both kick and scream at best and faint at worst. If Takumi's driving can make the average racer faint, imagine not having had any racing experience before and going for a ride with him to see his racing skills first-hand; it would be like a roller coaster without all the safety features! Fortunately, he only does this when the passenger asks to demonstrate his abilities; when driving normally he's one of the smoothest and least scary drivers on the road, as Natsuki can attest to.
* Similarly, Bunta casually going for a smoke in the middle of a corner, using his knees to navigate, while a passenger (Yuichi) is with him grabbing onto the handholds for dear life.
* Kai's MR2 spins on fallen leaves.
* Takumi's tactic of switching off his AE86's headlights can count as this. Remember, this is the touge (mountain road), a narrow, winding, twisting road with perilous hazards on either side, and it has taken many lives. The danger goes Up to Eleven at night, and it's even worse at high speeds. However the true scare lies here: Imagine that you are in the middle of a race, and you cannot see your opponent who was just behind you seconds ago. Suddenly, you see a light beside your car. You look at it and there he is, beside your car. If even a full-time pro racer is freaked out by this, what does that say about the others who get to witness this tactic first hand?
* Keisuke's RX-7 crashes when practicing, and that was caused by those bastards who drive Evos who tricks everyone by slicking the road with oil.
* Almost everything about "Shinigami" Hojo Rin. His Leitmotif is pure Nightmare Fuel, as well as his personal appearance and car (deep gray) and deadly driving style.

If you actually think fictional characters driving dangerously is scary, you're probably not going to watch a show about illegal street racing.

[[folder:Injustice: Gods Among Us]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFw0QOuIT2A The Supermoves look terrifyingly painful.]]
** '''Aquaman''': He [[MakingASplash floods the stage]], {{impale|dWithExtremePrejudice}}s you with [[ProngsOfPoseidon his trident]], holds you up and lets a ''[[ThreateningShark shark]]'' chomp down on you. '''''[[Film/BatmanTheMovie Holy sardine]]''''', right?
** '''Ares''': Being teleported to a barren battlefield to suffer a RainOfArrows and a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant]] Ares' palm attack? '''Brutal.'''
** '''Bane''': A two-hit [[SuperSerum Venom]]-enhanced air juggle, plus one rather sickening {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}} (emphasized all the more by lingering on it for a moment), and all concluded with the infamous [[HoistHeroOverHead Bat]]-[[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} Brea]][[Film/TheDarkKnightRises ker]]. Oh, and the damage can be boosted by his Character Power if you time it right.
** '''Batgirl''': From a jump, she hits you with her gauntlets, plants a [[SufferTheSlings sling]] onto your chest, climbs onto you, fires her [[GrapplingHookPistol grappling gun]] skywards, reels herself and you up, lets go, and as the sling pulls you down, drives her [[TrickedOutShoes shoes]]' [[ArmedLegs retractable blades]] into your back!
** '''Batman''': After stunning you with a smoke batarang and tapping his coordinates into his wrist computer, he zaps you with a couple of stun batons, knees you in the chin, and lobs a beacon batarang at your face all before jumping out of the way to allow [[CoolCar the Batmobile]] [[CarFu to run you over!]]
** '''Black Adam''': A punch to the head to stun you, a launching uppercut, a knee to your doubtlessly aching chin, and a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}} coupled with a [[ShockAndAwe lightning attack]], culminating with an [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]]-esque [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown double-footed stomp to the back]]. Now you know why you should BewareTheSuperman.
** '''Catwoman''': She blinds you with powder, launches you into the air with a somersault, catches you with her {{whip|ItGood}}, and brings you crashing down onto the ground. No matter how durable somebody is, being slammed head-first into said ground so hard that your neck jerks over at a 90-degree angle has ''got'' to hurt! Not to mention the follow-up of being yanked to your feet for two claw swipes to your still aching cranium, itself followed up with a [[ScottSteiner Frankensteiner]].
** '''Cyborg''': A '''giant''' fist to the face followed by a '''[[{{BFG}} massive]]''' [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank]] [[ArmCannon energy cannon]] blast.
** '''Deathstroke''': He starts off with a sword swipe to the gut, another to the head, throws his sword upward, [[BoomHeadshot shoots you twice in the head]] at [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank range]] with {{handguns}}, [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon kicks his sword]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice into you]], and [[MoreDakka machine-guns you]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill into submission]].
** '''Doomsday''': He '''pounds you through the Earth's crust ''and'' mantle through the Earth's core [[DiggingToChina to the opposite side of the Earth]]''', then pounds you ''back'' up to conclude with a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}}!
** '''The Flash''': Struck with an uppercut at an obscene amount of speed[[note]]The clip from "starts running" to "uppercut hits" lasts ten seconds; crossing the Earth's circumference (40,075 km) in that time would equal 14,427,000 kilometres per hour... but now factor in that the opponent has barely moved, meaning that was even ''faster''![[/note]], then being punched directly to where you just stood as you start to fly away? The whiplash alone would be hell, let alone the actual impacts.
** '''Green Arrow''': An exploding arrow to start off, a bolo arrow to bring you back down, and [[RuleOfThree three]] more exploding arrows to leave you vulnerable to a followup combo.
** '''Green/Yellow Lantern''': Regardless of whether you're fighting Hal Jordan or John Stewart, or whether Hal takes you to [[LightIsGood Oa]] or [[LightIsNotGood Qward]], you're in for a [[{{Pun}} world]] of hurt as you get pounded in all sorts of directions with [[DropTheHammer hammer]], [[CarFu bus]], and [[MacrossMissileMassacre fighter jet]] constructs.
** '''Harley Quinn''': One or two hits with her '''massive''' [[DropTheHammer mallet]], followed up with [[MadeOfExplodium a pie landmine]]. [[SarcasmMode Enjoy your flight.]]
** '''Hawkgirl''': She carries you into the air, then delivers two midair mace swipes to your head.
** '''The Joker''': A PieInTheFace, a few whacks to the head with a {{crowbar|Combatant}}, a [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank]] [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] with his {{revolver|sAreJustBetter}}, and a downward swipe of a canister of [[PoisonIsEvil Joker Toxin]] to the cranium before [[RedBaron the Clown Prince of Crime]] [[CoupDeGrace finishes it all off]] with ''another'' [[ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon point-blank head-shot]], this time with '''''a [[StuffBlowingUp rocket]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill launcher]].''''' EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor, indeed.
** '''Killer Frost''': She pins you in place with an [[KillItWithIce ice]] [[SpikesOfVillainy stalactite]], encloses the immediate area in a snowy vortex, [[TheWallsAreClosingIn slams you in between a pair of spiked walls, and ends with a spiked ceiling.]]
** '''Lex Luthor''': He hits you with a three-hit punch combo, starts up [[AgonyBeam a stasis field that makes you writhe in pain]], then has an [[KillSat orbital laser]] fired on himself to create an EnergyBall that he throws at you. The explosion can be seen from ''orbit'' and is the size of a ''small country''.
** '''Lobo''': [[RedBaron The Main Man]] hitting you with one of his {{hook|sAndCrooks}}ed {{chain|Pain}}s, ramming you with [[CoolBike his bike]], and shooting you with [[SawedOffShotgun his gun]] while you're still airborne is bad enough, but then he proceeds to [[KillItWithFire burn you alive]] with WeaponizedExhaust as he [[FlippingTheBird flips his (censored) finger]] at you before riding off. Add the fact that the gunshot can be enhanced by his Character Power…
** '''Martian Manhunter''': He takes you to Mars, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting assumes your form]], punches you twice, changes back, [[MeteorMove uppercuts you into the air]], [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever grows giant]], and [[DishingOutDirt sandwiches you between a pair of rocks]].
** '''Nightwing''': Regardless if it's Dick Grayson or [[spoiler:Damian Wayne]] you're facing, having Nightwing stun you with his eskrima sticks and perform multiple ride-by slashings on you with his spiked gauntlet before slamming his not-so-SimpleStaff into your chest has ''gotta'' hurt!
** '''Raven''': Not only does she appear to be [[SuperpoweredEvilSide influenced]] once again by her father [[DemonicPossession Trigon]], but her Supermove has her dragging you into an abyss and pummeling you with copies of herself before "[[ArchnemesisDad daddy dearest]]" towers over you and fires you back into the real world with gigantic EyeBeams.
** '''Scorpion''': He [[NoIAmBehindYou teleports, kicks you from behind]], takes you to [[EldritchLocation the Netherrealm]], summons up [[DishingOutDirt pillars of rock]] on either side of a narrow causeway, throws both of his ''[[ChainPain kusari]][[KnifeNut gu]][[YouWillNotEvadeMe nai]]'' at you, [[PlayingWithFire ignites them]]—[[KillItWithFire and you]], and process to [[MetronomicManMashing fling you into the pillars before finishing with a ground slam unto the causeway.]]
** '''Shazam''': He [[MeteorMove uppercuts you into the stratosphere]], throws a one-two, elbows you in the back, catches you by your ankle, and executes a supersonic Giant Swing for a bit before slinging you directly into the ground.
** '''Sinestro''': He stuns you with a plate construct, makes a [[TeleportersAndTransporters portal, and drags you struggling through the gate, which exits into outer space]]. He then seizes two asteroids with telekinesis, [[DishingOutDirt smashes them together with you in between]], and then constructs a [[{{BFG}} giant laser cannon]] which shoots you with a beam powerful enough to propel you back down to Earth with the speed of a meteor.
** '''Solomon Grundy''': A {{knife|Nut}} slice to the belly, a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}}, and a tombstone to the head, all while swamp gas floods the screen. And need we mention that between the activation and connection of this particular Supermove, [[MadeOfIron Grundy]] [[NoSell is]] [[UnflinchingWalk practically]] [[OhCrap invulnerable?]]
** '''Superman''': It doesn't matter if you're fighting [[BigGood Justice League!Superman]], [[BigBad Regime!Superman]], or [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Cyborg Superman]], [[MeteorMove being punched hard enough to reach at least the thermosphere]] and then slammed all the way back down is ''sure'' to be a painful experience. [[ThatOneAttack Not to mention the fact that Superman flies across the horizontal portion of the screen in]] '''''[[ThatOneAttack fewer frames than most other attacks.]]'''''
** '''Wonder Woman''': A ShieldBash, followed by her [[YouWillNotEvadeMe binding you with the Lasso of Truth]] long enough for her AmazonBrigade to knee you in the back and whack you in the face with a [[SimpleStaff wooden staff]] before she reels you in to deliver the final blow with [[CoolSword her sword]]. ''Yikes.''
** '''Zatanna''': She stuns you with a spark from her [[MagicWand wand]], takes you into a pocket dimension, binds you in a double pyramid with you spread out like Christ on his cross, turns you upside down while chanting a spell backwards, and sends you slamming headfirst onto the floor.
** '''General Zod''': He carries you into space, then follows it up by [[DefaceOfTheMoon smashing you through the moon]] and blasting you back down to Earth with his EyeBeams.
* Stage transitions can be pretty nasty as well.
** '''Metropolis''': Museum to Street. Being smashed through a building is bad enough, but those are ''very loud'' clangs of your head bouncing off those pipes.
** '''Fortress of Solitude''':
*** Laboratory to Menagerie. Similar story to the above Metropolis transition, only it's ice crystals in place of pipes. Again, ''very loud''.
*** The other way around. You get sent to the Phantom Zone, hit an asteroid, then hit a mirror, freeing the inmate trapped within, who then proceeds to maul you before more space debris knocks him off of you just before you return to the Fortress.
** '''Batcave''': Crime Lab to Lagoon. Bouncing off rocks? Ouch. Breaking part of those rocks? ''Ow''. Leaving a massive dent in a steel girder? Iya! Oh, and you bounce off the sparking and damaged Batboat immediately afterwards.
** '''Insurgency''': Command Center to Luthor's Lab. Smashed into an empty cavern? [[TemptingFate That's not so bad]]. After a {{beat}} comes the DrillTank, grinding you straight through to the lab. That's no "mere" drill, either; that's multiple quasi-blunt digging saws.
** '''Watchtower''':
*** Bridge to Reactor. You get launched through a row of starfighters, and as you take a freefall down to a cooling fan below, the starfighter closest to the edge tips over, takes out bridge after bridge on its way down, and ''slams into you nose-first, destroying the fan and '''driving you through a miniature sun''''' that then spits you out onto the floor.
*** The other way around. You get launched into space, breaching the Watchtower's hull, hit an artificial satellite, and slam into a starfighter that then spins out of control as it, too, breaches the hull to thrust you back into the bridge.
** '''Arkham Asylum'''/'''Joker's Asylum''':
*** Cell Block to Mess Hall. After being knocked into Scarecrow's cell, the good doctor himself pops up and injects you with his fear toxin. Next thing you know, you're in his dream world from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', and Scarecrow, now giant, smashes you with his fist, picks you up [[PlayingWithSyringes (with his]] ''[[PlayingWithSyringes syringe fingers!)]]'', and tosses you through the platform into the void... only to land in the cafeteria with [[NothingIsScarier no explanation on how the hallucination]] [[OffscreenTeleportation relocated you from his cell to mid-air near the kitchens]].
*** The other way around. You can get the shit smacked out of you in one room by the famous residents. You fly right into Killer Croc who pays you back for it with a thrashing and tosses you into the air where you land face first on the point of Penguin's umbrella, then Two-Face smashes a TV over your head and even the Riddler gets a shot in at you before Croc throw you back into the Cell Block.
** '''Gotham City''': Rooftop to Alley. After you get launched into a brick wall, [[TraumaCongaLine a wrecking ball smashes into you. Once you land on an elevated train track, you are unfortunate enough to see a monorail train drive into you and crash through a building.]]
** '''Themyscira''': Temple to Port. You slam into a statue, fall down a rather long staircase, '''''bounce off a lit brazier''''', hit a number of trees while falling down a cliff, and finally, when you land in the pier, the head of the statue you hit crashes onto you before it lands in the sea in the background!
** '''Hall of Justice''':
*** Plaza to Great Hall. You slam into a robot that throws you into the middle in a fight between a giant-sized Atom-Smasher and Giganta. Giganta grabs you, [[GrievousHarmWithABody beats Atom-Smasher with you]], then throws you into the Hall.
*** The other way around. You get sent via Boom Tube to Darkseid's throne room on Apokalips, where Darkseid himself thrashes you for a moment, tosses you out, and blasts you with his [[FrickinLaserBeams Omega]] [[EyeBeams Beam]].
** '''Stryker's Island''': Cell Block to Yard. Going through a wall and the watchtower is bad enough, but then you go into a helicopter with such force that it spirals out of control, hits a wall, and crash-lands, spitting you out onto the pavement as soon as it hits the ground.

This is literally every single LimitBreak and stage transition in the game. It's a fighting game about superheroes so violence is to be expected, and these moves all fall under RuleOfCool and not RuleOfScary.

NightmareFuel/MortalKombatX: this example is too long to write down, as the page used to list ''every single FinishingMove and [[LimitBreak X-Ray Attack]] in the game'' (and there are a lot of them). OK, sure, maybe a few of the fatalities really are gory enough to be genuinely disturbing to all but the most hardened of souls, but if you're playing ''Mortal Kombat'', you're probably desensitized enough to not flinch when a fictional character gets decapitated.
No, making your favorite show's NightmareFuel page as long as possible doesn't make it look cooler. It just makes us all look like easily-frightened cowards. So please, think before adding something to the page.
!! Worst of Nightmare Fuel:
Here are a few of the most mind-bogglingly bad examples that were removed by the cleanup thread.
----
[[folder:Initial D]]
* During a practice run saddled with an inferiority complex, Iketani ends up crashing into a guardrail. Ouch. He survives, but is unable to race in the upcoming [=SpeedStars=] vs. [=RedSuns=] race.
* Shingo's Establishing Character Moment: Bumping into Iketani's car on purpose while the latter's just going for a practice run. Shingo later causes Itsuki to crash even though he was on a date.
* When Shingo attempts to crash Takumi's Sprinter and fails, resulting in his EG6 Civic taking heavy damage. And that was a lucky break- at worst, he could have been killed by falling off.
* When Iketani and Itsuki go for rides with Takumi to see how he races, they both kick and scream at best and faint at worst. If Takumi's driving can make the average racer faint, imagine not having had any racing experience before and going for a ride with him to see his racing skills first-hand; it would be like a roller coaster without all the safety features! Fortunately, he only does this when the passenger asks to demonstrate his abilities; when driving normally he's one of the smoothest and least scary drivers on the road, as Natsuki can attest to.
* Similarly, Bunta casually going for a smoke in the middle of a corner, using his knees to navigate, while a passenger (Yuichi) is with him grabbing onto the handholds for dear life.
* Kai's MR2 spins on fallen leaves.
* Takumi's tactic of switching off his AE86's headlights can count as this. Remember, this is the touge (mountain road), a narrow, winding, twisting road with perilous hazards on either side, and it has taken many lives. The danger goes Up to Eleven at night, and it's even worse at high speeds. However the true scare lies here: Imagine that you are in the middle of a race, and you cannot see your opponent who was just behind you seconds ago. Suddenly, you see a light beside your car. You look at it and there he is, beside your car. If even a full-time pro racer is freaked out by this, what does that say about the others who get to witness this tactic first hand?
* Keisuke's RX-7 crashes when practicing, and that was caused by those bastards who drive Evos who tricks everyone by slicking the road with oil.
* Almost everything about "Shinigami" Hojo Rin. His Leitmotif is pure Nightmare Fuel, as well as his personal appearance and car (deep gray) and deadly driving style.
[[/folder]]
If you actually think fictional characters driving dangerously is scary, you're probably not going to watch a show about illegal street racing.

[[folder:Injustice: Gods Among Us]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFw0QOuIT2A The Supermoves look terrifyingly painful.]]
** '''Aquaman''': He [[MakingASplash floods the stage]], {{impale|dWithExtremePrejudice}}s you with [[ProngsOfPoseidon his trident]], holds you up and lets a ''[[ThreateningShark shark]]'' chomp down on you. '''''[[Film/BatmanTheMovie Holy sardine]]''''', right?
** '''Ares''': Being teleported to a barren battlefield to suffer a RainOfArrows and a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant]] Ares' palm attack? '''Brutal.'''
** '''Bane''': A two-hit [[SuperSerum Venom]]-enhanced air juggle, plus one rather sickening {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}} (emphasized all the more by lingering on it for a moment), and all concluded with the infamous [[HoistHeroOverHead Bat]]-[[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} Brea]][[Film/TheDarkKnightRises ker]]. Oh, and the damage can be boosted by his Character Power if you time it right.
** '''Batgirl''': From a jump, she hits you with her gauntlets, plants a [[SufferTheSlings sling]] onto your chest, climbs onto you, fires her [[GrapplingHookPistol grappling gun]] skywards, reels herself and you up, lets go, and as the sling pulls you down, drives her [[TrickedOutShoes shoes]]' [[ArmedLegs retractable blades]] into your back!
** '''Batman''': After stunning you with a smoke batarang and tapping his coordinates into his wrist computer, he zaps you with a couple of stun batons, knees you in the chin, and lobs a beacon batarang at your face all before jumping out of the way to allow [[CoolCar the Batmobile]] [[CarFu to run you over!]]
** '''Black Adam''': A punch to the head to stun you, a launching uppercut, a knee to your doubtlessly aching chin, and a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}} coupled with a [[ShockAndAwe lightning attack]], culminating with an [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]]-esque [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown double-footed stomp to the back]]. Now you know why you should BewareTheSuperman.
** '''Catwoman''': She blinds you with powder, launches you into the air with a somersault, catches you with her {{whip|ItGood}}, and brings you crashing down onto the ground. No matter how durable somebody is, being slammed head-first into said ground so hard that your neck jerks over at a 90-degree angle has ''got'' to hurt! Not to mention the follow-up of being yanked to your feet for two claw swipes to your still aching cranium, itself followed up with a [[ScottSteiner Frankensteiner]].
** '''Cyborg''': A '''giant''' fist to the face followed by a '''[[{{BFG}} massive]]''' [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank]] [[ArmCannon energy cannon]] blast.
** '''Deathstroke''': He starts off with a sword swipe to the gut, another to the head, throws his sword upward, [[BoomHeadshot shoots you twice in the head]] at [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank range]] with {{handguns}}, [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon kicks his sword]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice into you]], and [[MoreDakka machine-guns you]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill into submission]].
** '''Doomsday''': He '''pounds you through the Earth's crust ''and'' mantle through the Earth's core [[DiggingToChina to the opposite side of the Earth]]''', then pounds you ''back'' up to conclude with a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}}!
** '''The Flash''': Struck with an uppercut at an obscene amount of speed[[note]]The clip from "starts running" to "uppercut hits" lasts ten seconds; crossing the Earth's circumference (40,075 km) in that time would equal 14,427,000 kilometres per hour... but now factor in that the opponent has barely moved, meaning that was even ''faster''![[/note]], then being punched directly to where you just stood as you start to fly away? The whiplash alone would be hell, let alone the actual impacts.
** '''Green Arrow''': An exploding arrow to start off, a bolo arrow to bring you back down, and [[RuleOfThree three]] more exploding arrows to leave you vulnerable to a followup combo.
** '''Green/Yellow Lantern''': Regardless of whether you're fighting Hal Jordan or John Stewart, or whether Hal takes you to [[LightIsGood Oa]] or [[LightIsNotGood Qward]], you're in for a [[{{Pun}} world]] of hurt as you get pounded in all sorts of directions with [[DropTheHammer hammer]], [[CarFu bus]], and [[MacrossMissileMassacre fighter jet]] constructs.
** '''Harley Quinn''': One or two hits with her '''massive''' [[DropTheHammer mallet]], followed up with [[MadeOfExplodium a pie landmine]]. [[SarcasmMode Enjoy your flight.]]
** '''Hawkgirl''': She carries you into the air, then delivers two midair mace swipes to your head.
** '''The Joker''': A PieInTheFace, a few whacks to the head with a {{crowbar|Combatant}}, a [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange point-blank]] [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] with his {{revolver|sAreJustBetter}}, and a downward swipe of a canister of [[PoisonIsEvil Joker Toxin]] to the cranium before [[RedBaron the Clown Prince of Crime]] [[CoupDeGrace finishes it all off]] with ''another'' [[ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon point-blank head-shot]], this time with '''''a [[StuffBlowingUp rocket]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill launcher]].''''' EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor, indeed.
** '''Killer Frost''': She pins you in place with an [[KillItWithIce ice]] [[SpikesOfVillainy stalactite]], encloses the immediate area in a snowy vortex, [[TheWallsAreClosingIn slams you in between a pair of spiked walls, and ends with a spiked ceiling.]]
** '''Lex Luthor''': He hits you with a three-hit punch combo, starts up [[AgonyBeam a stasis field that makes you writhe in pain]], then has an [[KillSat orbital laser]] fired on himself to create an EnergyBall that he throws at you. The explosion can be seen from ''orbit'' and is the size of a ''small country''.
** '''Lobo''': [[RedBaron The Main Man]] hitting you with one of his {{hook|sAndCrooks}}ed {{chain|Pain}}s, ramming you with [[CoolBike his bike]], and shooting you with [[SawedOffShotgun his gun]] while you're still airborne is bad enough, but then he proceeds to [[KillItWithFire burn you alive]] with WeaponizedExhaust as he [[FlippingTheBird flips his (censored) finger]] at you before riding off. Add the fact that the gunshot can be enhanced by his Character Power…
** '''Martian Manhunter''': He takes you to Mars, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting assumes your form]], punches you twice, changes back, [[MeteorMove uppercuts you into the air]], [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever grows giant]], and [[DishingOutDirt sandwiches you between a pair of rocks]].
** '''Nightwing''': Regardless if it's Dick Grayson or [[spoiler:Damian Wayne]] you're facing, having Nightwing stun you with his eskrima sticks and perform multiple ride-by slashings on you with his spiked gauntlet before slamming his not-so-SimpleStaff into your chest has ''gotta'' hurt!
** '''Raven''': Not only does she appear to be [[SuperpoweredEvilSide influenced]] once again by her father [[DemonicPossession Trigon]], but her Supermove has her dragging you into an abyss and pummeling you with copies of herself before "[[ArchnemesisDad daddy dearest]]" towers over you and fires you back into the real world with gigantic EyeBeams.
** '''Scorpion''': He [[NoIAmBehindYou teleports, kicks you from behind]], takes you to [[EldritchLocation the Netherrealm]], summons up [[DishingOutDirt pillars of rock]] on either side of a narrow causeway, throws both of his ''[[ChainPain kusari]][[KnifeNut gu]][[YouWillNotEvadeMe nai]]'' at you, [[PlayingWithFire ignites them]]—[[KillItWithFire and you]], and process to [[MetronomicManMashing fling you into the pillars before finishing with a ground slam unto the causeway.]]
** '''Shazam''': He [[MeteorMove uppercuts you into the stratosphere]], throws a one-two, elbows you in the back, catches you by your ankle, and executes a supersonic Giant Swing for a bit before slinging you directly into the ground.
** '''Sinestro''': He stuns you with a plate construct, makes a [[TeleportersAndTransporters portal, and drags you struggling through the gate, which exits into outer space]]. He then seizes two asteroids with telekinesis, [[DishingOutDirt smashes them together with you in between]], and then constructs a [[{{BFG}} giant laser cannon]] which shoots you with a beam powerful enough to propel you back down to Earth with the speed of a meteor.
** '''Solomon Grundy''': A {{knife|Nut}} slice to the belly, a {{Metronomic Man Mash|ing}}, and a tombstone to the head, all while swamp gas floods the screen. And need we mention that between the activation and connection of this particular Supermove, [[MadeOfIron Grundy]] [[NoSell is]] [[UnflinchingWalk practically]] [[OhCrap invulnerable?]]
** '''Superman''': It doesn't matter if you're fighting [[BigGood Justice League!Superman]], [[BigBad Regime!Superman]], or [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Cyborg Superman]], [[MeteorMove being punched hard enough to reach at least the thermosphere]] and then slammed all the way back down is ''sure'' to be a painful experience. [[ThatOneAttack Not to mention the fact that Superman flies across the horizontal portion of the screen in]] '''''[[ThatOneAttack fewer frames than most other attacks.]]'''''
** '''Wonder Woman''': A ShieldBash, followed by her [[YouWillNotEvadeMe binding you with the Lasso of Truth]] long enough for her AmazonBrigade to knee you in the back and whack you in the face with a [[SimpleStaff wooden staff]] before she reels you in to deliver the final blow with [[CoolSword her sword]]. ''Yikes.''
** '''Zatanna''': She stuns you with a spark from her [[MagicWand wand]], takes you into a pocket dimension, binds you in a double pyramid with you spread out like Christ on his cross, turns you upside down while chanting a spell backwards, and sends you slamming headfirst onto the floor.
** '''General Zod''': He carries you into space, then follows it up by [[DefaceOfTheMoon smashing you through the moon]] and blasting you back down to Earth with his EyeBeams.
* Stage transitions can be pretty nasty as well.
** '''Metropolis''': Museum to Street. Being smashed through a building is bad enough, but those are ''very loud'' clangs of your head bouncing off those pipes.
** '''Fortress of Solitude''':
*** Laboratory to Menagerie. Similar story to the above Metropolis transition, only it's ice crystals in place of pipes. Again, ''very loud''.
*** The other way around. You get sent to the Phantom Zone, hit an asteroid, then hit a mirror, freeing the inmate trapped within, who then proceeds to maul you before more space debris knocks him off of you just before you return to the Fortress.
** '''Batcave''': Crime Lab to Lagoon. Bouncing off rocks? Ouch. Breaking part of those rocks? ''Ow''. Leaving a massive dent in a steel girder? Iya! Oh, and you bounce off the sparking and damaged Batboat immediately afterwards.
** '''Insurgency''': Command Center to Luthor's Lab. Smashed into an empty cavern? [[TemptingFate That's not so bad]]. After a {{beat}} comes the DrillTank, grinding you straight through to the lab. That's no "mere" drill, either; that's multiple quasi-blunt digging saws.
** '''Watchtower''':
*** Bridge to Reactor. You get launched through a row of starfighters, and as you take a freefall down to a cooling fan below, the starfighter closest to the edge tips over, takes out bridge after bridge on its way down, and ''slams into you nose-first, destroying the fan and '''driving you through a miniature sun''''' that then spits you out onto the floor.
*** The other way around. You get launched into space, breaching the Watchtower's hull, hit an artificial satellite, and slam into a starfighter that then spins out of control as it, too, breaches the hull to thrust you back into the bridge.
** '''Arkham Asylum'''/'''Joker's Asylum''':
*** Cell Block to Mess Hall. After being knocked into Scarecrow's cell, the good doctor himself pops up and injects you with his fear toxin. Next thing you know, you're in his dream world from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', and Scarecrow, now giant, smashes you with his fist, picks you up [[PlayingWithSyringes (with his]] ''[[PlayingWithSyringes syringe fingers!)]]'', and tosses you through the platform into the void... only to land in the cafeteria with [[NothingIsScarier no explanation on how the hallucination]] [[OffscreenTeleportation relocated you from his cell to mid-air near the kitchens]].
*** The other way around. You can get the shit smacked out of you in one room by the famous residents. You fly right into Killer Croc who pays you back for it with a thrashing and tosses you into the air where you land face first on the point of Penguin's umbrella, then Two-Face smashes a TV over your head and even the Riddler gets a shot in at you before Croc throw you back into the Cell Block.
** '''Gotham City''': Rooftop to Alley. After you get launched into a brick wall, [[TraumaCongaLine a wrecking ball smashes into you. Once you land on an elevated train track, you are unfortunate enough to see a monorail train drive into you and crash through a building.]]
** '''Themyscira''': Temple to Port. You slam into a statue, fall down a rather long staircase, '''''bounce off a lit brazier''''', hit a number of trees while falling down a cliff, and finally, when you land in the pier, the head of the statue you hit crashes onto you before it lands in the sea in the background!
** '''Hall of Justice''':
*** Plaza to Great Hall. You slam into a robot that throws you into the middle in a fight between a giant-sized Atom-Smasher and Giganta. Giganta grabs you, [[GrievousHarmWithABody beats Atom-Smasher with you]], then throws you into the Hall.
*** The other way around. You get sent via Boom Tube to Darkseid's throne room on Apokalips, where Darkseid himself thrashes you for a moment, tosses you out, and blasts you with his [[FrickinLaserBeams Omega]] [[EyeBeams Beam]].
** '''Stryker's Island''': Cell Block to Yard. Going through a wall and the watchtower is bad enough, but then you go into a helicopter with such force that it spirals out of control, hits a wall, and crash-lands, spitting you out onto the pavement as soon as it hits the ground.
