11You think a simple digital "archive" for gaming music won't give you everlasting nightmares? Think again. More than a few of these "high quality rips" can, intentionally or not, trip into the grand level of a screaming terror threshold. And as this page will come to show, '''they won't be lovely'''.

15* The very, ''very [[NotSafeForWork not safe for life]]'' rip of [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Rhythm Code, then called Puzzle Room]] (which was taken down) ended with a WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} reference - a screen with “да”[[note]]yes[[/note]] and “нет”[[note]]no[[/note]], and annotations for both. Clicking the former lead to a music video for "[[https://youtu.be/4gY1AHjq1y8 Russkij Pusskij]]" by Carlito; clicking the latter lead to a [[ShockSite shock video]] of a [[{{Squick}} harlequin baby]][[note]]An infant born with Harlequin Ichthyosis, a rare birth defect where the epidermis develops as scale-like structures that peel off, exposing the flesh beneath, and the eyes bulge out of the head[[/note]] screaming; what's worse is that a human hand slowly inched towards “нет”; when it did, it displayed a still from that video with the [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Hypernova filter]] applied to it (accompanied by “Игра окончена” - “game over”). [[labelnote:explanation]]The rip itself was a reference to Joel's playthrough of an unauthorized Russian Sega Genesis port of the ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' NES game; in the bootleg, choosing not to continue on the game over screen led to an image of Felix tearing his face off and standing in a pool of his own blood, with the image itself being taken from a parodical t-shirt design called "Felix the Cat Unmasked" (the Felix image in question is the page image on the Nightmare Fuel page for Vinesauce, and bootleg games of this nature are sort of infamous for these screens.)[[/labelnote]] Virtually ''everyone'' thought it crossed the line as a result of its gory content, and [=SiIva=] broke character to apologize for it (as one person had uploaded it without permission from the rest of the group - he was removed for this, of course). [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funnily enough]], the original uploader, Le Ruse Bird, uploaded a song to his Soundcloud titled [[https://soundcloud.com/generii/what-harlequin-baby What Harlequin Baby?]]
16** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulFLOyaY_Gk Puzzle Room]] would eventually get re-uploaded again. The song is the same, but this time... [[JumpScare you get]] [[NightmareRetardant BEANED!!!]]. The rip has been deleted however.
17** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkLHT1BZ7fs The song was, once again, reuploaded...]] but this time, Felix the Cat's Game Over theme is recreated using samples from Rhythm Code. Clicking да leads to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAfJgqXqrBg a harmless Tetris rip]] while нет leads into later in the video, which shows a crudely drawn image of Kirby with Harlequin Ichthyosis (in reference to the Baby incident). The rip has currently resulted in numerous fans losing trust in [=SiIvaGunner=] as they believe he has gone back on his apology.
18*** It should be noted that this rip was most likely meant to feel like the last Puzzle Room-related rip, because it was uploaded the day before the September 30th ending and has a much higher production value than the two previous versions.
19** And now, they seem to have used audio from the original Harlequin Baby video in a rip titled "The Bathroom - P.T.". No link here, it's NSFL.
20* "Ending" from ''The Terrible Whiteness of Appalachian Nights''. Granted, the original game was rather terrifying anyway, and the creepiness factor decreased once you realized that [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings The Eight Melodies]] was playing, but it combined with the description (a reference to the "game") is still really unsettling.
21* The rip of ''Mickey Mousecapade's'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khpXJMDZeEQ Game Over screen]], aka the theme from ''Fanfic/SuicideMouse''. Thankfully, there's some NightmareRetardant at the very end.
22-->'''Distorted Voice''': [[WebVideo/GameGrumps What the heck, game designers?!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-LfKbCR0MI Get it together! (laughter)]]
23* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyDJsjJkvM The rip of "Destruction of the Sammer Kingdom"]] from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''. It starts out playing the ThemeTune for ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (albeit in minor key), but then it gets interrupted by [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the sound of The Void engulfing Sammer's Kingdom]], topped with Homer's CatapultNightmare scream from the episode "Moaning Lisa" (which is also heard in ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsArcadeGame''), the scream echoing [[NothingIsScarier into nothing but dead silence]]. And unlike the ''Mickey Mousecapade'' Game Over rip, there's no NightmareRetardant in sight -- just pure, uncomfortable silence. It's disturbing enough on its own, but consider the context: It's July 7th, the date that was promised to be the end of the reboot storyline. People were expecting the video in which Chad Warden finally decides whether or not to accept the lack of Snow Halation in the MergedReality, and the end was repeatedly teased with uploads of ending themes and the like. And then, at 5:00 P.M. EST, ''this'' video shows up. Does this indicate that the merging of both universes is not happening? WasItReallyWorthIt
24** Just a few hours later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86v3LUaTbG8 a rip of "Twinkle Circuit"]] from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' went live. The rip includes the sound of a loud crash, seemingly killing off some of the Sonic characters. It seems as if something or someone is killing off the reboot memes. So now the question is: whatever happened to the deal about merging universes? Was the Voice playing us for fools? Is this his doing, and if so, was this his plan? (Although it's more likely this was a one-off joke, as the universes were merged in the end.)
25* In a mild sense, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OpleI7Yef8 the rip of Lavender Town]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' during the reboot (already infamously creepy on its own). The main melody is altered into ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' theme, but at certain times begins to break into ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' theme before pulling back (which some interpret as Grand Dad attempting to break free). Not helping is a bit of intentional [[SensoryAbuse distortion]] near the middle of it.
26* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rio4ZtdmZDY Intro Title / Minigame Theme]] from ''Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race'' is presented with a grainy television filter over the image of the boxart, but the music is otherwise normal, amplifying just how unintentionally creepy the song is. Then Barbie's face starts distorting, and the video and song glitch out. It then cuts to an Emergency Alert System message letting viewers know that there is a serial killer in Bedrock. The description of the serial killer's features match those of Mr. Rental.
27** Though a bit of NightmareRetardant comes from further analysis, with the coordinates that flashed onscreen leading to a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GiIvaSunner/comments/510sp2/this_is_where_the_corrdinates_from_the_barbie_rip/ hotel called The Grand Daddy]], and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GiIvaSunner/comments/50ynpu/in_the_spectrogram_of_the_barbie_rip_from_an_hour/ the spectrogram]] containing a link to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTjpkaRd888 this video.]]
28* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkXaruy3aF4 Another Time Diver]] from ''The Third VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', RedHerring ARG teases aside, is a terrifying BaitAndSwitch for reasons entirely unrelated to the channel: after the glow in the "Alpha" of the logo [[JumpScare changes to a realistic eye]], the video suddenly cuts to a POV of someone being fired on by the [[EldritchAbomination Dis Astranagant's]] Ain Soph Aur cannon. For reference, it's a weapon that destroys its targets by ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath rewinding them back in time until they cease to exist]].'' The "DEAD END" screen that appears afterward has a bit of horror in it as well, as it references the PreMortemOneLiner of the Dis Astranagant's user, likely the last thing any poor sod in their sights would hear before being unmade by the Ain Soph Aur.
29* Any of the rips that contain the Green de la Bean meme can be this due to the SensoryAbuse JumpScare. It also leads to ParanoiaFuel as this is now a RunningGag and can show up anywhere.
30** The rips stopped appearing temporarily after the Bean died before he came back with no explanation before his rips died out again. However, with the Bean being reconstructed by Haltmann as a robot, he's come back again.
31* [[https://youtu.be/-SCKrU75WCw On December 14th, 2016,]] a certain series villain returned, taking advantage of Siiva's sleep and created a VillainWorld, defeating and/or capturing all the memes except for Smol Nozomi. Before the opening of the arc plays, only one line is said:
32-->'''The Voice:''' Hahahahaha... I'm back.
33* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw0TGo6h3Wo Lost Life - The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants]] starts eerie, then slowly gets worse. The video ends with a distorted image accompanied with Russian text. Doubles as a minor TearJerker if you know what said Russian text means and what the video itself is expressing and portraying.[[note]]The Russian text is a declaration of regret over an attempt at salvation GoneHorriblyWrong. According to ''[=SiIvaGunner=] Explained,'' [[https://youtu.be/cf1Y8iTDArE it's some kind of metaphor for a team member's history.]][[/note]]
34* [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/siivagunner/images/f/f5/Lilly.png/revision/latest?cb=20170411001118 Egghead]] rivals even Green de la Bean as one of the most terrifying characters from the rips. He's a CreepyChild wearing a life vest who typically warps into the screen with the camera zooming in on him, before almost instantly cutting to a (sort-of) screamer of a distorted and glowing-eyed celebrity before fading back to white. The NightmareRetardant usually comes in afterwards with a humorous vine being played, but even that isn't always the case. In later rips he just pops out of nowhere and subjects the audience to [[SensoryAbuse earrape]] (possibly a distorted Flipagram roast laugh) with the caption "HOWIE DOIN?" The creepiest thing about him is that NO ONE seems to know where this meme and the picture used in it even came from. It's a good thing his rips had a relatively short run, (mostly) only throughout early-mid 2017.
35* ''VideoGame/LSDDreamEmulator'' rip [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99irIgEoMXE Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites (20. Flashback)]] is a very unnerving rip even by Siivagunner standards. The whole video is very creepy, first starting with a dark screen as the sounds of something starting up can be heard. The screen suddenly shifts to the POV of a camera filming a birthday cake's candles being lighted, as a creepy "Happy Birthday" song can be heard in the background. Suddenly the screen shifts to static as unsettling distorted noises can be heard in the background, and then to just silent blackness. Then Egghead suddenly [[JumpScare JUMPS AT THE SCREEN]] straight out of the darkness as a terrifying noise is played. The succeeding screen, which is just a silent clip of Silento doing the Whip/Nae-Nae on a Game Boy, does nothing to balance out the creepiness from previously.
36* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsARlPfkuRk Shellfie (Alternate Mix) - Splatoon]] begins with Egghead suddenly warping on the screen, and then cuts to a rather disturbing, red-tinted picture of a possessed-looking Kevin Hart with [[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} Harmony/Paruko]]'s hair and black, empty eyes with white dots in the middle. The video then cuts to a "smol" Paruko floating in a white void as faint screaming can be heard in the background and birds and cats float in and out of the screen. As she floats closer to the screen, the scream gets louder and louder (verging on SensoryAbuse) as the screen starts to shake and become red. Luckily enough, the video then becomes much [[NightmareRetardant more humorous]], but the beginning is ''terrifying''.
37* "Subject removal" edits are an uncommon staple in rips, and for good reason; these rips take innocuous meme videos and edit it to remove ''everything'' from them save from the background and the occasional white noise, leaving it [[NothingIsScarier empty and ominous]]. Such examples are:
38** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6GkwWw9W6Y Calm - Minecraft]], a ''Webcomic/GarfieldMinusGarfield'' styled video, while funny in how it's SoUnfunnyItsFunny ends on a weird and kinda scary note, all things considered. In the original video, Gadget shot Mike dead with a finger gun, but without him being in the video, Mike instead just straight up twitches as if he had a stroke or seizure and dies on the spot. It's pretty unnerving, to say the least.
39** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJOhPKzb1gM 11 - Minecraft]] does it again, [[FromBadToWorse except Mike is gone too]]. The FreezeFrameBonus of 'Massacre' at the end does ''not'' help.
40** [[https://youtu.be/iWCDDiogiuo Game Over - Pac-Man]], which was released a day later and featured the [[https://youtu.be/_8dRZ3atLW8 Here Comes Pacman]] video without any sign of Pac-Man or the roommates, repeats this formula. Only the “...” from the text at the beginning still appears and the Pac-Man theme at the end that usually plays is not present. The music, composer, playlist, and platform are gone as well, though the labels for each one stay.
41** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGr9MkWeAs4 Game Over - Sneak King]] as well; it's just the Burger King foot lettuce video but with no narration or text. Just the picture of two lettuce bins and some rather eerie music.
42** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f39TakijdTU Main Theme - Seven: The Days Long Gone]] does the same thing to Joel's reaction to Grand Dad.
43** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7sH5mzyxL8 Game Over - hhGregg's Quest for Coupons]] does this to the hhGregg "Christmas in July" commercial.
44** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwhZln31e8 Ending - Packets, Please! A Post-Net-Neutrality Simulator]] applies the formula to "FCC Chairman Ajit Pai Explains 7 Things to do after Net Neutrality!!" Aside from the lack of Ajit Pai's presence and voice, the audio is otherwise fairly normal... until the video reaches the "YOU CAN STILL RUIN MEMES" segment, and the audio suddenly echos and fades away after the first instance of "Do the Harlem Shake!", leaving behind only the sounds of the Daily Caller ending.
45** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMVd4MYdsow Game Over - Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill]] does this with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNm5eb97YOg "nintendo gametube"]]. Probably the most unnerving aspect of it is the ambience, which [[LastNoteNightmare suddenly gets a lot louder at the very end of the video]].
46*** Listen more closely. [[NothingIsScarier "Steppin' Out" is slightly audible.]]
47* Though not physically scary, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-BW3DGgJlw first]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X4uskJQdU0&t=13s two]] Haltmann's Archives episodes possess this unnerving atmosphere that makes [[NothingIsScarier you feel alone]], and that someone [[ParanoiaFuel could find you at any minute.]]
48* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEueySlAaZI File 13]] can make you feel [[ParanoiaFuel like your home could end up mechanized at any second and without any remorse.]]
49* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv2lsYWb8mk PlayStation Format Disk Error - Console BIOS/Startup Fanfare]]. Basically what happens when you take ''[[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub Sayo-nara]]'', an already pretty unnerving and creepy song, and combine it with video distortion and a sound font that makes it sound like it's coming from a broken [=PlayStation=] console.
50** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcaMtDTJHZw The PlayStation 2 version]] is potentially more disturbing. An arrangement of the Lavender Town theme as the model of the [=PS1=] logo corrupts throughout the whole rip.
51** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdia7t1l9hE The SuperDisc version]], which begins as normal, but then plays a remix of [[{{VideoGame/SuperMario64}} Super Mario 64's]] Merry-Go-Round theme. It then plays again, but out of pitch. The music becomes increasingly distorted and out of pitch. The visuals of the rip have the camera moving back in a hallway reminiscent of the area where [[UrbanLegendOfZelda the Wario Apparition]] is supposed to be found. When the music begins to distort, the hallway turns red... and eventually, the video footage itself distorts. To quote one youtube viewer, "Every copy of Super Mario 64 is personified fear".
52** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyAnNB5iTuY Startup (DTL-H1000 Version)]] is the preceding rip's AlternateCompanyEquivalent, with Sonic the Hedgehog sliding through a PSX version of [[VideoGame/SonicExe Sonic.EXE's]] Hill Act 1 as a remix of the forwards moving version of the track from that stage plays... and then Sonic encounters EXE himself, and the music plays backwards. The video ends with Sonic being chased, the video [[NothingIsScarier fading into silent static]] once he gets caught.
53* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2itZ4n8goys N's Room - Pokémon Black & White 2]]. Like the above mentioned rip, It's a cover of [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub Sayo-nara]], but this time sounding like it's coming from a broken music box.
54** There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZm75HY_gVw this rip of Sayo-Nara]] (at least until [[NightmareRetardant Monika herself comes in singing "Look At Me"]]), uploaded only a week after [=SiIva=]'s possible awakening. If anything it looks like Monika is hacking into the channel, if the glitching, spelling errors and swapping channel descriptions are indicative of anything.
55* [[https://youtu.be/on3XxOs8A3U Beelzebub - Pony Island]], SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic aside, does have some rather abstract and bizarre imagery that could weird out some viewers. That seizure warning at the beginning definitely isn't lying.
56* Christmas Comeback Crisis Episode 10 has brought us what is likely to be the most uncomfortable imagery the entire channel has produced. The majority of the episode is based around a fight against [=JustinRPG=], who has finally found out how to bring [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Reshiram]] to life. While he does succeed, he also gets eaten whole by the Pokemon. Eventually, [[BodyHorror he also fuses into it, becoming an unholy abomination.]] What makes it worse is that the heroes seem to have no chance against the monster, [[WorfEffect with Santa]] [[EatenAlive being eaten.]] He does escape the jaws of the monster, [[AnArmAndALeg though not in one piece]]. They do succeed, but [[NauseaFuel it surely isn't a pretty victory.]] The entire second half of the episode is a horrific display of FanDisservice, LudicrousGibs, and FetishRetardant.
57* On Halloween 2018, the Christmas Comeback Crisis resumed, skipping from Episode 10 to [[ThirteenIsUnlucky Episode 13]], which is simply titled "Comeback Crisis". If you look at the video itself, it's actually an original creepypasta where the reader comes across Episode 13 of the CCC. It turns out to be Puzzle Room for [[MemeticMutation FOUR HOURS]], and then the да and нет screen shows up. The reader clicks нет for the funny meme only to find Felix the Cat with hyperrealistic eyes, and then everything goes downhill from there. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQtm1USRwAs See the video here.]]
58* [=MissingNo.=]'s role as a contestant for [=KFAD2=] naturally has plenty of this:
59** The reveal is rather unnerving. After Meowth get its attention, Siiva constantly tries to hand the invitation to [=MissingNo.=], who refuses. Siiva continuously gets weaker and weaker, due to being exposed to [=MissingNo.=]'s glitchy nature, untill the point where he blacks out, leaving [=MissingNo.=] to simply take it for itself.
60** Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMWKCjNv4bg its victory theme]], featuring the opening notes of Lavender Town fizzling out into a deep, static drone while a slower version of [[VideoGame/SonicExe the infamous]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka laugh]] plays as it closes off. It manages to take the often infamously [[NightmareRetardant silly history of glitch-related creepypastas]] [=MissingNo.=] is tied to so heavily and make it into something genuinely unsettling, resulting in what sounds less like a victory theme for [=MissingNo.=] and more like a GameOver theme for its opponent. Not helped at all by [=MissingNo.=]'s first victory in the tournament being against [[JokeCharacter HOBaRT]], whose icon was uniquely shown as giving off ''smoke'' after losing.[[note]]He got better and even forgave [=MissingNo.=] during MOJO!! developments, but [[KilledOffForReal the initial impression of the match's aftermath]] still happened.[[/note]]
61** When eventually facing [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Mr. Krabs]] in the tournament, a dual arrangement regarding the two characters was released, titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTt7X3wL8vM "Red Mist"]], which can best be described as a remix of [[https://youtu.be/uCI30YNbnSc Red Mist Cue, a 15-second jingle from the Red Mist scene from "[=SpongeBob=] in Randomland",]] to represent the infamous Squidward's Suicide creepypasta, with droning ambient noises, turning into a creepy clarinet song playing through the middle section concluded by the sudden sound of a gunshot, ending with a creepy rendition of the Lavender Town theme in the aforementioned ambient noises from the first part of the song.
62** * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skc0xutWjso Yσυ'ɾҽ Tσσ Sʅσɯ.]] starts off as a normal, [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 upbeat version of Green Hill Zone]] but then [[RepetitiveAudioGlitch starts glitching out]] until the drowning theme plays, [[VideoGame/SonicExe Sonic.exe is back]]. The song turns into an eerier remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ6hSMFi2Qg Hill Act 1.gym]]. At the end the song cuts to Green Hill again, pretending that nothing happened. [[InescapableHorror You can still hear the static.]]
63* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4yxxi4O2rk Pull Up A Chair - Hearthstone]] may be one of ''the'' most disturbing rips produced by the channel, full stop. An unsubtle TakeThat to Blizzard Entertainment acquiescing to the Chinese government's demands and blacklisting a Hearthstone champion who spoke out in support of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hong_Kong_protests 2019 Hong Kong Protests]], the rip features ''actual audio from the protests'' (including screaming, glass breaking, and what sounds like someone being beaten) as the mellow song plays in the foreground. Aside from the horrible and depressing RealLife context, the rip itself is not pleasant to hear.
64* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfEk74De2jY Nowhere to Run - Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator]]. You want to know how to make the [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator the original track]] all the more ominous and dread-inducing, which is best known for an ending speech that makes it crystal clear that those hearing it are trapped in an inescapable situation that ''will'' end with their death? Swap the ending speech with... a ''more sadistic'' one.
65-->(beep!)
66-->'''[[VideoGame/TheStanleyParable The Narrator]]''': [[https://thestanleyparable.fandom.com/wiki/Countdown_Ending/Narration Ah, now this is making things a little more fun, isn't it, Stanley?]] [[SarcasmMode It's your time to shine! You are the star!]] [[KickTheDog It's your story now; shape it to your heart's desires.]] [[ItAmusedMe Ooh, this is much better than what I had in mind!]] [[YouAreAlreadyDead What a shame we have so little time left to enjoy it.]]
67** Several years later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-prJLmoOnA it got a remaster]], to make it into a full recreation of ''both'' the ''Pizza Simulator'' ending cutscene, ''and'' the ''Countdown'' ending. Of note is the fact that the Narrator adding more time to the clock is replicated by ''the video rewinding''.
68--->'''The Narrator''': My goodness! Only 34 seconds left... but I'm enjoying this so ''much''! You know what? ''[[FauxAffablyEvil To hell with it.]]'' [[CruelMercy (video rewinds) I'm going to put some extra time on the clock, why not?]] These are precious additional seconds, Stanley. ''Time doesn't grow on trees!''
69** Not only that, but as if to turn the screws some more, the opening portion of the cutscene (where Molten Baby gloats to the player) is instead replaced with... ''this'':
70--->'''The Narrator''': ''Let me wake up, he thought to himself. I'm through with this dream, I wish it to be over. Let me go back to my job, let me continue pushing the buttons, please, it's all I want. I want my apartment, and my wife, and my job. All I want is my life exactly the way it's always been. [[TemptingFate My life is normal, I am normal. Everything will be fine. I am okay.]]''
71--->'''[[YankTheDogsChain (BEEP!)]]'''
72* The "Playboi Carti Standing Goat" meme, introduced in early 2020, is another one of the creepiest memes on the channel. Its rips will will JumpScare the viewer with footage of an extremely unsettling taxidermized [[GruesomeGoat baby goat]], modified to have a [[UncannyValley humanoid posture and dark, forward-facing eyes]]. As if this isn't scary enough by itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx4S5lFZYpM this rip]] has a still of it staring at the viewer for the entire duration of the video.
73* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xeji10PQOEA Circus (Let's Mix) - Five Nights at Freddy's]]. After beginning with the typical bait and switch associated with a Circus rip, it starts with a clip of Joel's playthrough of [[VideoGame/{{FiveNightsAtFreddys4}} FNAF 4]]. After several seconds pass, it gets interrupted by static (with sounds that appear to have been taken from Vinny's corruption streams). As the static dissipates, it cuts into a video done in the style of ''ARG/TheWyomingIncident'', telling the viewer that "YOU WILL SEE SUCH FUNNY THINGS" as a creepy remix of the Flintstones theme plays. Right when the viewer thinks the rip is about to end, the viewer gets jumpscared with the rotating head of [[VideoGame/{{YandereSimulator}} YandereDev]], with the video ending with the message "WHAT DO YOU CODE?"
74* [[https://youtu.be/clbisurWxLo "Last Stand (Ingame Version)"]]. At about 49 seconds in, you hear the [[VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight Rebel Flagship]]'s cloak activate. Followed by the [[LimitBreak Power Surge]] warning. Then the entire run goes to hell. The last thing you hear is a scream cut short, implying the final moments of the player's crew. Although the scream in question being Loud Nigra might be NightmareRetardant to some.
75* To commemorate the end of ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros.''[[MilestoneCelebration 's 35th anniversary]] (which infamously involved Nintendo discontinuing the sales of the games tying into said anniversary, with the centerpiece game being ''[[CompilationRerelease Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]''), the channel delisted all its prior ''Mario'' rips and uploaded new ones with altered game logos. For the majority of them, it's a simple omission of Mario's name. For [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 the]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine three]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy games]] featured in ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'', however, they're [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ex8XrJ7WQAAJuIo?format=jpg&name=orig very]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ex8XraTWQAI7J1c?format=jpg&name=orig obviously]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ex8XrpHWQAMtWJK?format=jpg&name=orig corrupted]], sticking out like sore thumbs in this otherwise Mario-less alternate reality. Some of these rips, most notably the Gusty Garden one, are a distorted, hollow imitation of the original song, [[NothingIsScarier with howling wind to highlight Mario's vanishing.]] Some other rips ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAnLNJQld0M Big Robo Bug]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZJ-1NKnnZs Athletic Theme (Alpha Mix)]]") reference the first track of [[Music/TheCaretaker Everywhere at the End of Time]], an album which is focused on dementia and the decay of memory.[[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUeRSHat0VY Respective]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsocEaor9MY rips]] that covered "Heartaches", which was what the original track sampled, were released the day before.[[/note]]
76* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UY9h-ZK_c Thorns (Beta Mix)]] from ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin''. What was already a very creepy battle in the original game is now made even scarier as Spirit, along with the level background, is replaced with the character he was probably inspired by; none other than [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Giygas]] himself, who proceeds to give a variant of his infamous "it hurts" speech before initiating the battle, which is set to a very creepy remix of "Thorns" but with noises and instruments from the Giygas battle, and with some uses of "Porky Means Business". In contrast to his usual portrayal of being motionless and adrift in space, here Giygas makes wobbling and stretching movements throughout the song, especially when he sings, giving off an extremely unnatural and uncanny vibe. Special mention goes to the portion around 0:36 where Giygas unexpectedly ''screams'' in the middle of the song. Despite involving a rap battle of all things, the rip manages to do quite a good job of capturing the hopeless, terrifying feeling of the original Giygas battle.
77* Released during the ''[[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]]'' event, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqkw1B4eRb0 'It's a me, Mario!' - Super Mario 64DD]]" parodies "Revolution 9", a song that in itself is on The Beatle's [[NightmareFuel/TheBeatles Nightmare Fuel page]]. It begins with Mario going "It's a me!" from ear to ear, as various tracks of Mario 64's music and sound effects play, some forward, some backmasked.
78* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmEdn_q9Tl8 Smart Race (Alternate Route) - Deltarune]]" mashes up the [[VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} original song]] with Astronaut In The Ocean. After the second line[[note]]"When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze."[[/note]], the song is abruptly cut off by the sound of the [=IceShock=] spell. The remainder of the rip is still Astronaut In The Ocean, but it's ''heavily'' slowed down, giving an atmosphere similar to "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} But Nobody Came]]".
79* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDbXnMy0U-8 Misty Menace - Donkey Kong Country]]" is Siivagunner's take on the "Unnerving images with unnerving music" meme, featuring 16-bit quality images of (among others) a bunch of humanoid creatures framed in shadow standing underneath an EldritchAbomination at a parking lot, a woman with a NightmareFace next to a dog that appears to have flesh coming out of its mouth, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking two birds standing in a public restroom]], a man hanging in an intersection, and finally culminating in a certain taxidermied goat.
80** Speaking of memes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6citEHqaTw Level 8 - Eversion HD]] is a recreation of the "[[Memes/Incredibles2 Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny]]" meme. The visuals of [[VideoGame/{{Eversion}} Zee Tee]] becoming uncanny aren't too bad, considering he remains in an 8-bit style throughout near the entire video (the exception being the game's thumbnail shown at the very beginning, which itself isn't scary at all). The music however, is an 8-bit remix of the meme's musical arrangement, with all the original [[Fanfic/SuicideMouse sounds]] [[VideoGame/SonicExe and]] [[Music/TheCaretaker songs]] that came with it.
81* To commemorate the release of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', all of the day's rips were of Kirby games, but with a... ''darker'' spin on the concept of a "Forgotten Land". These tracks were reworked InTheStyleOf Music/TheCaretaker (who, perhaps not coincidentally, shares his real surname with the character) and cycled through the first three stages of ''Everywhere at the End of Time'', plus the final few minutes of "Place in the World Fades Away". The results were quite disturbing to say the least. Thankfully, the event truly ends on a much more light-hearted rip, indicating that [[SurprisinglyHappyEnding Kirby was able to remember.]]
82* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-coo2UUO5Q Mortimer's Theme - Five Nights at Treasure Island (2020)]] starts as a simple arrangement of the Harlem Shake to the aforementioned track, before abruptly cutting to static at 1:10. At 4:42, the track becomes a recreation of the second half of the original audio using Harlem Shake samples, and it sounds just as eery and disturbing. Special mention goes to when the growling lion sample is pitch-shifted to match the original screaming... [[NightmareRetardant And then Harlem Shake instruments are arranged to the music box at the end.]]
83* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A11JPahK3g Central Park - [=POSTAL=]]] is very similar to the original theme, only the melody is changed to [[VideoGame/LisaThePainfulRPG "The Sireen's Call"]]. It's arguably more creepy than the original.
84* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zy9VPx55MM Cave of the Past (PAL Version) - EarthBound]]" utilizes the nightmarish aspects of The Caretaker's music to its fullest by the virtue of being an arrangement of the infamous "Hell Sirens" from "H1 - Post Awareness Confusions". The description doesn't make it any better too.

86* The 2023 ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' 8th anniversary event, while having standard rips as well as goofy ones, has a few rips that fit here as well:
87** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOzlCpZIh0w Forgotten - Five Nights at Candy's 3]], as the title would imply, is another "A1 - It's just a burning memory" rip, specifically the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnl8y0c7cqk much sadder/scarier]]" version by k/wan, yet probably the creepiest one on the channel. The isolated feel of the sounds being made, as well as the dark ambience surrounding it makes it a very uncomfortable listen.
88** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyDeKH25U7o Remnants of Joy (Basement) - The Joy of Creation: Story Mode]] is ''Undertale''[='=]s "Memory" with the advertised track's soundfont. It's quite off-putting to hear what was once a gentle music box tune turned into something much more ominous, not helped with the [[DroneOfDread ambience in the background]].
89* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lcJg3uyy5E Dianthus alpinus - Dreaming Mary]] is the first high quality rip of ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'', and [[DisguisedHorrorStory it's faithful to the original material]]. It starts like the original track before sounding like "[[https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/scarlet-forest Scarlet Forest]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', but at some moments, the video [[OminousVisualGlitch glitches]], [[BrokenRecord repeating the notes]] in the process, before becoming more and more blurry before going darker and not moving at all. Only a discreet white noise remains while this message appears: "You have to wake up". After that, this noise [[SensoryAbuse becomes louder]] while spooky pictures show on the screen: the final one is ''the Playboi Carti Standing Goat'', who fills the whole screen and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou stares the viewer dead in the eyes]]. After it disappears, the sounds [[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand becomes quieter]] before the final message: "That's all there is to it".
90* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVMNwkdKHSQ super mario bros but it's sus]]" from the 2024 April Fools event starts off as a parody of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBggVIPHlqM a stolen version]] of an earlier Beta Mix rip of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Underground theme. The joke behind this one is that instead of the ''Among Us'' trap remix, the song switches to "Hot Cross Buns". (As a riff on the aforementioned stolen version of the original rip, the "Super Mario Bros." portion of the logo at this point is blacked out except for "Bros.", which is edited to instead say "Buns".) Fourteen seconds into the rip, however, [[SuddenSoundtrackStop the song abruptly stops]] and the screen is replaced with a "Phase 5 uncanny Mr. Incredible" version of [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin Boyfriend]], complete with black, empty eyes. No further audio is present for the rest of the rip, just dead silence as Boyfriend unnervingly stares at the viewer.
