* "The Woman Next Door" features Mimi encountering the titular woman, an example of EvilWearsBlack, her neighbor, who is ([[OnceAnEpisode of course]]) some kind of HumanoidAbomination. [[NothingIsScarier The details aren't clear]], but somehow [[RedRightHand her limbs are made of sheet metal]], with the length adjustable with the use of screws. No, these aren't prosthetic either - her (gloved) hands and feet work just fine, and are fully functional with hinges. Nothing (aside from her limbs) is ever shown beneath her AllEncompassingMantle, but we ''do'' know that she has [[TheFaceless no face]]; the glasses, at least, are just for show. [[LeftHanging Who knows what her deal is, or what else she's got under her clothing...]] Definitely a case where the horror derives itself from a mixture of UncannyValley and sheer MindScrew.
* When Mimi moves into the apartment next to the woman's, she finds a tiny hole the previous occupant had used to spy on the woman. When Mimi takes a look, she sees the woman adjusting her arm. Even worse, the woman hears Mimi gasping and ''extends her arm, now inexplicably sans hand, to reach through the hole to try to grab Mimi''! When Mimi uses a bookcase to cover the hole and locks the door to protect herself, the woman goes outside and extends herself so that she can ''climb in the window to get at Mimi''. Mimi faints shortly after and fortunately wakes up to find everything back to normal, but it's still terrifying to watch. Not to mention, while nothing actually does happen, the idea of being unconscious while such a terrifying being can get at you is plenty horrifying.
* "The Sound of Grass". Mimi and her boyfriend Naoto go for a walk in the woods, only to find the body of a woman who hanged herself. Naoto notes that there is nothing for the woman to have stood on while she hung herself, and the branches on the tree are too high for her to have climbed. Naoto keeps hearing something falling off the woman but there is nothing under her body. Then they both look up and ''she is suddenly facing them''. Mimi and Naoto immediately get out of there but Mimi notes that the corpse was facing them the whole time as they left.
* The [[NightmareFace faces]] in the Graveman.
* ''The Seashore'' gives us a slowly rising terror, culminating in the epilogue when the photographs of from our heroes' adventure on the beach are developed. There's the pictures of their friend who died, which show very clearly a host of drowning children's ghosts clinging to him with their faces twisted in utter agony. (Dear ''God''.) Then there's the pictures of the girl they met at the beach, which [[NothingIsScarier we don't get to see]], because the owner threw them out, destroyed the negatives and violently refused to talk about it.
* "The Scarlet Circle" Hmm, a HellGate in the form of a little red dot of blood that gets darker with each person it swallows, and grows to engulf the room whenever it takes someone... Throw in that it's in a tiny little room with no way in or out other than a hole torn in the ceiling. No, not an entrance way in the ceiling. '''There was no way in or out until the hole was torn open.''' The room itself is no deep mystery: construct the floor and the walls, lay down the mats, put the roof in place from the outside. The disturbing part is... why does it exist at all? And what will happen to that dot now that the room's been demolished?
