'''Warning: Spoilers ahoy! (And major [[Squick]])'''
 
The profilers of ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'' have to deal with the most deranged and dangerous criminals ever seen in the United States. So, no wonder that the series has managed so far to provide us with a good amount of [[Nightmare Fuel]].
 
It should be also noticed that one of the most terrifying parts about the show is that [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Albright:Charles Albright|they]] [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickton |didn't]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kuklinski:Richard Kuklinski|make]] [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_MansonCharles Manson|this]] [http://en.[wikipedia:H.org/wiki/ H._H._Holmes Holmes|stuff]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger:Murder of James Bulger|up]]. Most of the cases are [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines]].

Line 10:
== Season 1 ==
* "The Fox": The team finding the wedding rings in the final scene, implying that there were ''more'' families slaughtered that the team didn't know about. This was the episode who introduced us to [[Complete Monster|Karl Arnold]].
{{quote| '''Karl Arnold''': Wives wither, children perish... but me? I'm an excellent father.}}
* "Natural Born Killer": After torturing his victims, the UnSub would occasionally leave them to be eaten alive by rats. The crime scene -- ugh, so much blood everywhere. And how the three victims were killed --thank god we never see the act. The aftermath is just scary enough.
* "Poison": A guy (whose been slipped a cocktail of drugs) at the beginning of the episode has a nightmarish hallucination involving dozens of shadowy figures swarming him in the woods near a secluded road, in the middle of the night. One of the hallucinations had a freakish, constantly shifting face that goes from looking like something vaguely demonic to nothing but a giant, glowing red eye. In the throes of his hallucination, he beats his own son nearly to death with a tire iron.
Line 37:
** During the raid on the UnSub's house they find industrial cookware, a freezer full of bodies which have been dismembered and had their throats slit and ''a demonic altar'', the walls of which are covered in blood, disturbing paintings and shelves crammed full of books on the nature of evil and homemade cookbooks about how to properly prepare human limbs for consumption.
** The scene at the end:

== Season 4 ==
* "Normal": Seeing [[The X -Files|A.D. Skinner]] go from guilt ridden housewife to...that. Not because of the way he kills, but because of what the reveal said he did after his first strike.
* "Bloodline". While a less creepy example, the ending of this episode with the revelation that there are ''more'' families out there kidnapping young girls and killing their parents is creepy. The entire episode becomes creepy, too, when you stop to wonder what happened to ''daughters'' born in that family...
* "Demonology": It's not outright terrifying, but it is probably one of the eeriest episodes of the show. There's just something so horrible about the atmosphere, and the brutal exorcisms, and the uncertainty over who's evil and who's not.
Line 48:
* "To Hell..."/"...And Back"
** The UnSub killed people and then [[Fed to Pigs|given to pigs]]. Anyone with pigs will tell you that pigs ''will'' eat anything.
{{quote| '''[[The Woobie|Reid]]''': Pigs are omnivores, they'll eat anything. Anything. }}
** Made even worse by the fact that the murders were based on real-life serial killers in Canada.
** At the very end of "...And Back" has the death montage of both the Turner brothers. The black ex-soldier who got the BAU team to come in and investigate because the Turners got his sister, only to find out by the time they get to the farm she's already dead, calmly picks up a rifle and comes into the house to shoot Mason. And Mason...''smiles at him''.
Line 77:
* "Foundation": Finding out that the UnSub ''bit'' his victims, who by the way were all children. He'd hold them in captivity for years. The worst part was that he was also able to kidnap a very low risk eleven-year-old boy. The UnSub also would give stuff from the victim to his daughter, who had no idea that the gifts she got actually belonged to other children.
* "Heathridge Manor"
