Nightmare Fuel / Wizards (2020)

Go To

Spellbound

  • After the Guardians of Arcadia escape the Shadow Mephits that were attacking the bookstore, Douxie looks down to see the creatures circling the Green Knight, who ominously stares at them before launching shards from his sword.
    Green Knight: Boy....
  • The flashback of the Green Knight shooting one of his shards into Jim's chest.

History in the Making

  • King Arthur nearly has Jim killed by bringing him into the sunlight.
  • Later, Arthur decides that he should kill every last Troll and "monster" that he captured, much to Morgana's horror.
  • Gunmar has his soldiers kill one of the knights.

Witch Hunt

  • The reveal of what happened to Arthur's wife, Gwen. When she and Morgana went into the woods one night, she fell into the nest of a Stalkling, which killed her.
  • Morgana attacking everyone by summoning shrieking, shadowy versions of herself.
    Morgana: Your cruelty towards magic-kind knows no bounds! You've taken and taken and now we take BACK!
  • Arthur cutting off Morgana's hand, causing her to fall off the cliff to her death. Arthur is mortified.

Lady of the Lake

  • Despite later assisting the heroes, Nimue is pretty creepy. In this adaptation, she's more of an Eldritch Abomination than a sorceress, and she eats Merlin and Steve.
  • When Claire is trying to create a shadow portal, she sees a few haunting visions of Morgana that progressively get worse. The first one is of her with black eyes, exhaling creepily. The second has her screaming in agony, and the final one has her cackling evilly while dark veins grow on her face.
Battle Royal Killahead, Part 1 Killahead, Part 2
  • Bular killing Lancelot. We don't see it, but the sound of his sword slicing into his body can be heard.
  • Right as it seems like Arthur and Morgana are about to reconcile, Bellroc sneaks up behind Arthur and stabs him, leaving a smoldering wound in his chest.
  • Deya slicing off Bellroc's eyes, causing them to bleed lava and emit an unearthly shriek.
Wizard Underground
  • While it's also an impressive scene, Jim pushing the shard deeper into his chest and turning into a full Troll seemed like a somewhat painful process. And then it's revealed that the Green Knight can now take control of him.
  • The flashback of the Arcane Order burning down a village.
    • In fact, their entire plan is horrifying. They want to unlock the Genesis Seals in order to allow uncontrolled magic to spread across the earth and wipe out everything, so that they can remake the world in their own image.
    Nari: Bellroc and Skrael believe humanity is lost, beyond correction. Now, they wish to end it all.
  • The Reveal that the Green Knight is actually King Arthur. He was resurrected by the Arcane Order, but unlike Morgana, he looks undead, with his gray skin and yellow eyes.
  • Arthur running Merlin through with his sword and throwing him out the window to his death.
Dragon's Den
  • It turns out Arthur willingly joined the Arcane Order in their mission to destroy the world.
    Arthur: I see now the only path to redemption is the Order's. To wipe the world clean and begin again.
Our Final Act
  • The ending shows that the Arcane Order is still out there, and they're still looking for Nari.
