3	!As this is a Nightmare Fuel page, spoilers ''will'' be left unmarked.
4	* The guard in the sequel trying to crawl out of the shaft before a falling elevator gets him. He doesn't make it. No wonder it hits Scorby's BerserkButton. Even Beth, so far having been trying to stop the guards, screams and hides when she sees it.
5	** And yes, the audience by that moment will likely root ''for'' Martin. When Scorby lands his first lucky shot and shows that Martin's carapace is hard but not invulnerable, it's not a HopeSpot, it's the bad guy getting the upper hand.
6	* The bit where Martinfly vomits on a security guard's face, melting it. The guard then ''rips his own face off'' while trying to get the vomit off, giving us the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] page image above. And even worse, if you look closely enough after he falls to the ground, '''he's still breathing'''. ''Brrrr...''
7	* The Mutant Dog. It was so disturbing to a lot of viewers at the time that it garnered and stirred some backlash (possibly due to the parallels to real life lab animal cruelty). Although, it also counts as a TearJerker too. Martin obtains a bottle of chloroform and euthanizes it to end its suffering.
8	** What's more, as a boy, [[HarmfulToMinors Martin was there]] when he witnessed the poor dog's mutation. And he has a ''photographic memory''.
9	* Scorby's death at Martinfly's claws. He doesn't just get a NeckSnap. Martinfly snaps his back too, before flinging him out into the open for both Bartok and Beth to see.
10	* Anton Bartok's {{Karmic\|Death}} FateWorseThanDeath scene. After his exit from the telepod, it gets worse. From the sheer amount of BodyHorror to the final gruesome closeup, one question remains: what is going through the now deformed Anton Bartok's mind?
11	** And yes, that does answer the question "what could possibly be worse than the mutant dog?".
12	* Anton Bartok [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters comes off as creepier than Martinfly in hindsight.]] He manipulated a young boy for years and posed as a FalseFriend and father figure while secretly planning to let him mutate into whatever Mother Nature would cook from the spliced genes. Why? Because he wanted to study the results and ''get rich.''
13	** This, plus the continued experimentation with live subjects within the telepod. He and his associates knew that the telepod had problems with organic matter. What do they do? Keep testing it with live animals, and then keeping those test subjects alive for study. [[CutLexLuthorACheck Despite the fact that this device could have been marketed solely for the bulk transport of inorganic matter and made them billions, if not trillions,]] they keep trying to get it to work with living things, keeping it a secret instead of patenting the device and utilizing it in a manner that would have been far more profitable than mere human transport would.
14	** Even worse is how Bartok tries to coerce Martin into finishing the project, sounding nice and reasonable, but for the audience, it's just a huge moment of CorruptCorporateExecutive incarnate. He lists all the medical uses for it, i.e. how it could heal wounds and diseases. Martin does heed that advice and finds a way to do so.
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDWZOJAvapU The teaser trailer.]] The icing on the cake is the sound at the very end of [[HellIsThatNoise a fly’s buzzing combined with a newborn baby’s cry.]]
16	* [[https://youtu.be/DsHZzyiiNvA This TV spot’s]] creepy IronicNurseryRhyme set over some of the carnage in the film.
