* To celebrate two years since the release of the first game, and one year since the second, Valve posted some of its concept art for the new Special Infected. The [http://www.l4d.com/concept_art/charger_art.html Charger]'s art isn't all that bad, but the art for the [http://www.l4d.com/concept_art/jockey_art.html Jockey] and the [http://www.l4d.com/concept_art/spitter_art.html Spitter] are absolutely horrifying.

* You might not ordinarily expect the developer commentary to be that scary, but one of the sequel's nodes is particularly nasty- the art department had a folder full of photos of various real-world skin conditions caused by diseases to use as reference for how to design the Infected mutations. You know, the Infected whose appearances have already spawned several entries on this page. They ended up not using any of the photo material, because it was ''too unpleasant to look at''. Just look at a screenshot of one of the Infected and imagine catching a real disease that looks ''worse''.

* The Witch's [[Leitmotif|musical cue]] in the first game. This troper always has a sort of mini [[Freak Out]] when he hears it, because coupled with it and the constant crying it sounds like it belongs in a horror movie, not a zombie shooter! For the curious, it's this constant creepy female chorus ululating a "Do do do do DO DO DO do do do" noise and it is MUCH creepier than it looks on here.

* Because some people have talked about mods, I'm going to talk about a custom map "One 4 Nine" takes place in the Nevada Desert, in and around Area 51. What's disturbing about it is that multiple saferooms are destroyed, however, one specific one in the first chapter has a blood pool with bones and human body parts surronding it. Later on, you find almost the same thing, but with one difference. It has parts of human faces in it. Also, the finale has you activate a huge black thing to get out. However, after you activate it, it causes the screen to switch colors, albeit very slowly.

* This troper was especially disturbed by a scene in The Passing. You run upon a park littered with chairs and nice decorations. Then you see a witch at the very end of the chairs. Wearing a wedding dress. This leads this troper to assume that this woman, and possibly every other person nearby at the time, almost instantly became zombified ''during her wedding''.
