Grizzly Man/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Nightmare Fuel: A movie about a man eaten by bears is bad enough. Then there's Herzog's reaction to the Apocalyptic Log (see Nothing Is Scarier below)... Also just the idea that a guy could be this pathetically stupid...
    • The way I see it, he loved bears to a tragically high degree; to the point where he felt that love was enough to protect him from the bears and vise versa. Bears are wild animals for a reason.
    • And it's not just that they were eaten by bears. The audio itself is six minutes long, during which Treadwell is alive and conscious while being gored, which means that the attack was not quick nor painless. Treadwell's girlfriend tried to fight the bear off but failed, powerless to stop the bear from dragging Treadwell into the woods, and left alone by herself before the bear came back for her. Here's the wikipedia description of what was left of them: "The mangled remains of Treadwell and Huguenard were discovered quickly upon investigation. Treadwell's disfigured head, partial spine, and right forearm and hand, with his wrist watch still on, were recovered a short distance from the camp. Huguenard's partial remains were found next to the torn and collapsed tents, partially buried in a mound of twigs and dirt." It's the most horrific sort of death imaginable.
