Nightmare Fuel / Fantastic Four Duology

  • The whole accident which gave the four (and Victor) their powers. First, the cosmic storm arrives like a real life Advancing Wall of Doom which blows through the ship and hits everyone. Adding to that, when the cosmic burst hit everyone, we see subtle changes to their bodies foreshadowing their powers. We see Reed's face and body distorting and stretching a bit, Sue turning invisible back and forth and Johnny catching on fire. While not too disturbing, it's so surreal that it's bound to shock anyone the first time they see it.
  • Dr. Doom without his mask is eerie to look at, with his repulsively metal-scarred face.
  • By the climax of the first film, Doctor Doom shoots a bolt of electricity through Ned's chest. In the trailers, he electrocutes him near water.
  • Halfway through the first movie, Reed attempts to remove his powers using a chamber-like device he created to harness the cosmic storm's energy. When he first walks out of it, it seems like it worked and that he's back to normal. He's not. Instead, we shot a close up shot of his face melting and drooping downward and then it cuts to the whole left half of his body becoming limp as he collapses to the floor.
  • Victor has a subtly creepy way of speaking compared to the Large Ham Marvel villains shown during it's time.
    • One particularly creepy moment that stands out. The scene where Victor was using hidden camera's in the Baxter Building. Spying on Reed's attempts to study the groups abilities and find a way to return to normal. One can't help but wonder, exactly how did he even get those camera's into the building in the first place?
  • You get to see Doom's scarred face very briefly in the sequel. When you see it, you'll be glad it's only there for a second.
  • What's left of General Hager after Doom stole the Surfer's board in Siberia.
  • The chilling image of Gah Lak Tus looming over the Earth wouldn't look out of place in a Cosmic Horror Story.

Alternative Title(s): Fantastic Four 2005, Fantastic Four Rise Of The Silver Surfer
