[[File:jk-simmons.jpg|link=Oz|frame| It is ''never'' a good thing when this guy shows up...]]
Here be the [[Nightmare Fuel]] page for ''[[Oz]]''. With examples like the following, it is not at all hard to see why this show was one of the most disturbing of its time.
* The season two finale, which is jam packed with High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Alvarez [[Eye Scream|gouges out a prison guards eyes]], complete with gratuitous shots of his bleeding, empty eye sockets; a pedophile priest is [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|nailed to the floor in a crucifix position]]; Beecher gets his legs AND arms broken after finding out that the man he fell in love with was working with his arch enemy all along (and never loved him); Said loses all of his faith towards making a difference behind bars; Adebisi's guru, who is trying to redeem him, is murdered and Adebisi goes batshit crazy as a result; two skinheads are buried alive in an escape attempt; and a guy is unknowingly injected with a needleful of AIDS-infected blood.
* Johnny Post being dismembered, his penis cut off and mailed to the Homeboys, as a retaliation for burning Dino Ortolani alive.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* The nightmares that many of the inmates have while in prison.
* The disturbingly realistic portrayal of drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual abuse, rape, sadism, torture, bullying, suicide, murder, etc. Makes one want to avoid even ''entering'' a prison at all costs.
** Even scarier, some death row inmates have claimed in interviews that the prison experience depicted in this show was '''[[It Got Worse|BETTER]]''' than life in a real prison, saying that this show was cleaned up for television. [[Humans Are
*** How the hell could it be WORSE? Dear God.
* The fact that the Aryans target the most vulnerable inmates and make them their sex slaves, for as long as they want, until they grow tired of them and just ''dispose of them''. And the terrible truth that the inmates would have to endure that cruel and humiliating treatment for the rest of their lives. A few did deserve it... Still...
** While Adam Guenzel was a piece of shit rapist, it doesn't make the rapes he endures at the hands of the Aryans any less disturbing. His anguished protests for them to let him go are what got me shivering.

'''Schillinger''': "Well if you don't, how are you ever gonna learn?" }}
* One word: '''Robspoon'''.
* Robson and another Aryan killing Ahmad Lalar, the youngest and weakest of the Muslim 'herd' just to prove a point to Said. They slice him to death by repeatedly making shallow cuts with a knife, while Ahmad's screams are muffled by his gag and he (as well as we, the audience) can only watch this horrifying scene.
* Beecher's long nails that he deliberately does not cut while in the hospital and files to razor sharp points. Which he then uses to kill Metzger by slicing into his body, making huge gashes and leaving the unsavory guard to slide down the wall while he ''claws at his mutilated throat, trying desperately to stop the blood from spurting out and failing miserably before dying in a pool of his own blood''. Horrifying doesn't even begin to describe it. Granted, Metzger had it coming.
* After having arranged the death of Vern Schillinger, the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, as a twisted display of his love for Beecher, Keller still was rejected, so he [[Thanatos Gambit|kills himself via purposely falling to his death while screaming Beecher's name in order to make it look like Beecher murdered him]]. Then, as Beecher waits to find out if he'll be charged with Keller's death (with the implication that he might face the death penalty), the second part of Keller's gift arrives, in the form of mailed packages of anthrax, which would kill all the mailroom
* Kenny: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoNPxKV8lRI "Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday..." Adebisi: "''To Kenny''...'''Happy birthday to you'''...] *blows out candle and then later (off-camera) ties Kenny face down on his bunk and rapes him repeatedly in retaliation for how Kenny murdered his guru and framed him for said murder*
* Chucky Pancamo tying his girlfriend up in a body bag and throwing her into the river. While she's fully conscious.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* One of the prisoners throwing a "blood-piss-puke-shit-cocktail" at a CO and another one smearing something similar on Peter Schibetta's face when he was in psyche ward.
* Beecher's little son being killed and his cut off hand sent to him into the prison...
* When Schillinger's loyal right hand man, Robson, is found that his gum implants came from the mouth of an African American, he is immedietely cast out from the group. Desperate to return, he uses a shiv to PEEL OUT HIS OWN GUMS.
* Aryan's interaction with Cyril when he first came to Oz. And then Schillinger's gleeful expression before him and the Aryan's gangraping of Cyril didn't help things either. This was one of the things responsible for Cyril's downward spiral that led to him being put on death row later just made that scene unsettling.
* Much like Ryan's obsession with Dr. Nathan, Keller's obsession with Beecher fell into this at times. {{spoiler|Keller ultimately commits suicide}} after [[Not Good with Rejection|Beecher rejects him for the final time]].
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* The numerous rapes and attempted rapes.
