4	''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' has a large amount of laughs coming from [[Franchise/MontyPython the franchise]], but it certainly doesn't skimp on the NightmareFuel by any means.

7	* The Green Knight's rather [[CruelAndUnusualDeath gruesome death]] at the hands of the Black Knight. The Black Knight impales his opponent ''through the face'' by throwing his sword through the opening of the Green Knight's helmet. The Green Knight makes some [[HellIsThatNoise disconcerting choking noises]] before he collapses.
8	** And for that matter, the BodyHorror of the battle between King Arthur and the Black Knight. King Arthur dismembers his foe limb by limb, and the altercation ends with the Black Knight on the ground, [[AndIMustScream totally limbless and unable to move]].
9	* Galahad stumbling his way to Castle Anthrax. The heavy rain and the wolf howling in the background make it clear that he needs to find shelter ''now''. Fortunately, he finds it and...well, he definitely could have chosen a worse place to crash for the night.
10	* The entire scene where Sir Lancelot kills almost every single wedding guest and blood is everywhere in the process. Even Lancelot's bloodthirsty exclaiming doesn't help at all.
11	* In the woods (after the old man from Scene 24 disappears without a trace), Arthur and Bedevere ride through, then notice something that catches their eyes. {{Scare Chord}}s sound off and Arthur eyes several figures passing by, even each moment the camera zooms into his eyes that are showing his worried expression helps.
12	* '''The dreaded KillerRabbit of Caerbannog.''' It may look cute and cuddly, but tread towards the cave of Caerbannog, and he'll strike! Even Tim the Enchanter informed the Knights of the Round Table they heed his warning:
13	-->'''Tim the Enchanter:''' For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature, so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it and lived! ''({{beat}})'' '''[[SuddenlyShouting BONES OF FULL FIFTY MEN LIE]]''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting STREWN ABOUT HIS LAIR!]]''''' So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage, come nay further! For death awaits you all [[NothingIsScarier with nasty, big, pointy teeth!]]
14	** When they encounter the rabbit for the first time, they shrug it off and have one of their knights kill it. Then, the rabbit leaps and [[OffWithHisHead chews the sent knight's head off]], and no BloodlessCarnage for that. Cue the main heroes' reactions:
15	--->'''King Arthur:''' [[MassOhCrap JESUS]] [[PrecisionFStrike CHRIST!]]\
16	'''Tim:''' IWarnedYou!\
17	'''Sir Robin:''' [[PottyFailure I've done it]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext again.]]\
18	'''Tim:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew, didn't ya? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them. But do they listen to me? Oh no.]]
19	** As Arthur and his knights charge at it, the bunny doesn't hesitate on taking two more down! [[NightmareFace We even get close-ups of the rabbit's bloodied mouth mid-battle!]] After a mere 20 seconds, the knights [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat book it]].
20	--->'''Arthur:''' RUN AWAY! ''[they do so]''
