The current image is one of the tamer examples of horror from the series. For a suggestion, I'd like to offer the infamous dissection shot from DHMIS 5.

I honestly don't like either image, but the suggestion depicts a spoiler.

I guess I'll go with current, because of what Inky said. Suggestion is showing a Character Death.

I don't find the current scarier, but yeah, the suggestion is a major spoiler.

[tup] Current. I personally find it more unnerving, plus the suggestion is too dark.

To shake it up, let me suggest a mid-point and go for the "deaths" in Episode 2 (where they don't actually die, and so early that almost everyone has seen this episode). Here's a few stills I could grab:

These are just sort of spitballs right now, I can try and find better images if people at least think this scene is worth using.

[up] The first one looks funny out of context and the second one, while freaky, still isn’t as good as the current image.

Fair enough, just thought it was worth a shot. The scariest image of the scene I could find was a production still so IDK if it's allowed.

I never found Roy to look creepy, moreso than that his actions were unsettling.

[up][up] That’s a villain looking vaguely menacing. Out of context it doesn’t look scary.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/743b8858_2d57_470d_9dd2_326525a782a9.jpeg An issue with finding suitable images is that a lot of the show’s scare factor doesn’t come from the visuals but from the Mood Whiplash. Without context, a lot of the nightmare fuel is negated. We could use the image on Subverted Kids' Show since I think I found a suggestion for that.

Subverted Kids' Show has the same spoiler problem as the current; the thing is is that while it might not necessarily spoil anything to people who just see the image and don't know the work, people who like DHMIS but haven't watched all the episodes shouldn't be spoiled by the NF page image, you know?

I wonder if the weird "creativity explosion" from episode 1 would be worth using? Or the weird computer glitch part in episode 4? Basically anything obviously freaky that isn't giving way major plot elements.

[up] The creativity explosion doesn’t work out of context. Episode 4 doesn’t have anything that would work as an image either.

I disagree, that episode is full of creepy imagery. The first three I found on google, the other two are ones I grabbed from the video during the glitch part, and they probably don't work but they're still pretty freaky out of context...

[up] That last one if my favorite out of those. I like the third one too, but at the same time, it also feels a bit too much like something that could actually appear in a real kid's show, if you get what I mean.

I also like 20, if it was in higher quality anyway. I feel like the fact that it's on a TV in the image would help with spoilers, as if I hadn't seen the video, I would have thought it was some cursed video tape that the puppets watch or something.
