1	''Series/{{Medium}}'' has its fair share of NightmareFuel, but that's [[JustifiedTrope justified that technically speaking, it is a show mainly about nightmares coming true.]] Spoilers below.
2
3	----
4	* The second episode, in which a couple therapist encourages a man to ''murder his wife'' and looks perversely pleased when ''a splatter of blood hits her in the face''.
5	* Another one opens quite nicely, with a family photo book, telling the story of a young man who loved animals and a young girl who was the prettiest in her school ... Jeffrey Dahmer and one of the Manson girls.
6	* We have Joe coming home and finding a bloody, psychotic Ariel with an axe in her hands.
7	* The opening of the episode "In the Rough" shows us the POV of a rape victim. First, they are drugged and in the passenger seat of a car, while the driver tells them to relax and "just go with it". He's pulled over by a cop, but the cop is convinced that the passenger is just sleeping, and the driver is taking her home. Then we cut to the driver forcing himself on the victim in a bedroom. Then we cut to the rapist burying the victim alive. As the dirt hit's the victim's face, they begin to cough, sputter and choke. It's the voice of a ''4-year-old girl.'' And the cop in question was Lee, who has hated himself for letting a rapist go unintentionally that night.
8	* And let's not take into account the Libra Killer or the Halloween episode 'Bite Me'.
9	* Also disturbing were, in season 4, her dreams about what happened to Cynthia's daughter.
10	* There's also the fact that just killing someone isn't enough, especially if they know about the afterlife.
11	* [[http://cliqueclack.com/tv/2010/02/06/medium-thats-a-lot-of-diedrich-bader/ Diedrich Bader in a bikini]] from the notorious 2009 episode ''Will The Real Fred Rovick Stand Up?'' His character wasn't a WholesomeCrossdresser, but an identity thief. It can scare the living daylights out of people, this episode.
12	* The idea that dead serial killers can continue to possess people for eternity?
13	* The season one episode with the "GoodSamaritan". Allison knows that he's a horrific SerialKiller who kidnaps, rapes and murders young women (who all go with him willingly because he seems like such a NiceGuy), but she can't do anything about it - because ''it hasn't happened yet''. All she can do is warn the first of his victims and hope she'll remember it in seven years.
14	* In "The Devil Inside", a man claiming to be doing God's work by screwing up Allison's visions, uses an extreme version of this (to be [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant]]) as a last resort to stop her from foiling his plans.
