Fanfic/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

** Active description of Nod's combat stims, with at least one reviewer commenting that they were out and out terrified by the description of it in action.

** The Black Hand's [[Kill It with Fire|love of fire]], including a rather chilling scene where they move through a burning building.

** Flame tanks. ''Yeesh.'' The description of their brutal efficiency is horrifying.

** It isn't just Nod and their penchant for fire that's scary. Being on the receiving end of a GDI Mammoth Tank assault is just terrifying.

** Also in "Charity", it is shown how River gets a full blast of the emotions, thoughts, and history of someone as she kills them in close quarters, triggering her [[Out, Damned Spot!]] moments. {{spoiler|''This apparently includes Reavers.''}}

* [[Running Gag|By the same author]], ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]'' has an absolutely horrific moment when {{spoiler|Corporal Jenkins}} encounters a swarm of Scrin buzzers.

''It ended a merciful moment later, when the buzzers found his brain and surgically sliced it apart, ending all consciousness. {{spoiler|Jenkins'}} armor crumpled to the floor, weeping blood from a dozen rents and holes.'' }}

* An Axis Powers Hetalia fanfiction called ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5399721/1/Awakening Awakening] has Canada and America being taken as prisoners of war by the Germans. They are then sent to Auschwitz and experimented on by Dr. Mengele. Canada {{spoiler|has blue dye injected into his eyes}}, while America is {{spoiler|dissected alive and infected with tuberculosis and typhus.}}

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4043339/1/Routine This] ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (theatre)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' fanfiction. There's mind****ery and [[Prison Rape]] and the setting and-- [[Body Horror|what's-- ]] there's ''botflies''. Almost anything that ficcer has done qualifies, from the humorous fic with a Mary Sue getting STDs from [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack Sparrow]] to their backstory for [[Once Upon a Time In Mexico|Sheldon Sands]]. It's pretty much the opposite of putting him in [[Draco in Leather Pants|leather pants]]. {{spoiler|Sands as manipulative quasi-psychopath is canon. The sheer awfulness of the eye gouging is canon. This writer's backstory for him has heavily implied [[Brother-Sister Incest]]. It's rape.}}

* [[Total Drama Comeback|Bridgette's nightmare.]] This sequence that begins chapter 24. It begins with a blood-stained Bridgette huddling in the corner of the shack, crying in pure fear after having just witnessed {{spoiler|Geoff's murder.}} Suddenly, she hears snapping twigs and the creek of a door. She also sees Ezekiel's toque. Is it him here to comfort Bridgette and get her away from the camp grounds {{spoiler|just like Geoff tried to do?}} Nope. Its a cleaver weilding Eva, back from a killing spree of everyone on camp. Long story short: she's next!

* There's [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1120881/THE_PETE_PETERSON_EXPERIENCE a writer] on ff.net whose volume of work consists almost entirely of extremely gory, badly-written, but extremely disturbing short stories in multiple categories in which a character randomly dies gruesomely, most of them titled "(Name Of Character) Dies a Horrible Death". Interestingly, the extreme badness of the writing makes the stories even more nightmare-inducing, seeing as the language is abrupt and casual and stilted, as though a kid was writing them without putting any serious thought into it or feeling as though there was anything serious about the stories. Just take a minute to think about what kind of person would write like that....

* ''[[Latias' Journey]]'' contains some utterly ''horrifying'' imagery, including a full on bloodbath at Wing Fortress where Pokémon babies are being ripped apart and eaten.

* ''[[Dalton]]'' contains the thoroughly crazy stalker {{spoiler|Adam Clavell.}} He's got a wall covered in photos of his lust object, {{spoiler|Julian}}, he stuck them to the wall with ''his own blood'', and he's made a hit list consisting of a bunch of photos with the faces mutilated and the words ''off with his/her head'' written on the back.

** The final part of chapter 26 begins with this author's note:

* ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker (Fanfic)|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' has multiple examples, fitting for a series whose protagonist is an alien from another dimension who fights supernatural horrors and demons:

** The nightmarish dream world that Sleepwalker's [[Arch Enemy]] Cobweb creates by possessing the mind of scared young [[Reality Warper]] Kevin [[Mac Taggart]]. The dream world is a shifting twilight world of ugly colors, half-seen images and distorted surroundings that threatens to grow and expand like a cancerous tumor until it consumes the whole Earth, engulfing the minds of everyone on the planet in its wake;

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4301633/1/ Used], a House fanfic. The things {{spoiler|Tritter}} does to House are pretty certain to give one nightmares, including {{spoiler|raping him with his own cane, and a knife.}}

* [[Imperfect Metamorphosis (Fanfic)|Imperfect Metamorphosis]]' [[Wham! Episode|Chapter 31]]. This story is already dark, taking many [[Touhou]] ideas and twisting them just enough to inspire terror and awe. And then you reach this chapter, and the slowly dawning dream from the last four chapters breaks and you realise that [[Eldritch Abomination|Yuuka]] [[Complete Monster|Kazami]] (already an insane supplier of scary scenes) has {{spoiler|[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|broken through the fourth wall]] }} with the simple words:

{{spoiler|[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|"Hello dears," Yuuka says sweetly. "Enjoying the story?]]"}} }}

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3887942/1/Hard_way_to_Hollow "Hard Way to Hollow"] is a little Bleach two-shot detailing Ichigo's slow descent into despair and insanity while his hollow takes over. Contains [[Body Horror]], [[Eye Scream]], [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]], and other things best not mentioned here. Sleep well.

* [[Pokémon Channel]] is a cute game, right? [[Tempting Fate|Nothing based on it could be that bad, right?]]Well, there's this little gem known as [http://warriorkloneomon.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-Dead-Channel-185310792 Pokemon Dead Channel,] which shows horror and [[Gorn]] in their some of their highest and most scarring forms. Here's a nice little description of a Magikarp, and it's not much worse than most of the other discriptions in the story:

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5073300/1/bSeven_b_bLittle_b_bKillers_b Seven Little Killers], an [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] fic in which... well, basically, {{spoiler|everybody dies.}} It starts when {{spoiler|Switzerland is murdered, and Italy walks in on his dead body. Everybody blames one another, and at first it's all just he-said she-said and pointing fingers, but then the bloodbath starts.}} The fic is based around the idea that there are seven killers on the loose, each named after the color of the mask they wear, lead by the infamous, shadowy Black and trying to kill off enough nations to completely reform the world order. Japan, Italy, and Germany are the [[Amateur Sleuth|ones on the hunt for the truth]]. {{spoiler|Some of the nightmarish highlights are America masquerading as Canada masquerading as America killing several characters and crushing Japan's fingers as payment for letting his other captives- including Canada-as-America-as-Canada- free, China murdering New Russia on the orders of the killer Yellow and then going bonkers over it, several cities being completely decimated to weaken their nations, America manipulating Canada into killing a boatload of people, including Alaska and Hawai'i- whose death scenes are both cut right away from, although Hawai'i's is over ''Facebook'', for crying out loud- and... well... the entire thing really.}}

* The fic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7421159/1/Revenge Revenge] for the [[Princess and The Frog]] fandom in which Facilier returns and well..wants revenge. The first chapter isn't horrifying really, just a short thing about his downfall. But then comes the second chapter.. {{spoiler|Facilier seems to have fallen for Tiana, he tries to enlist Mama Odies help, she refuses and Facilier has his shadow stab hers to death. Disappointed, he then turns Lois [[Brainwashed and Crazy|into his slave]], has him brutally maul Naveen, dragging the nearly lifeless corpse back to Facilier's Voodoo Emporium. Facilier messes Naveen up a bit more, then hangs him by his short intestine. He then announces he's taking over New Orleans. The citizens don't take kindly to this, and Facilier sends Louis on them, mauling and killing people in the process. The deaths seemed rushed, yes but the author has plans for more,including Facilier stitching Naveen together(which may or may not include a song that a certain [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|fandom]] might recognize), and a special [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|''treat'']] in store for Tiana and Charlotte.}}

* The ''[[CSI]]'' fic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4828756/1/Face_The_Music Face The Music] by Elm22 has a lot of this in the form of Grissom's kidnap and torture (and later Sara's as well) by a [[Complete Monster]] villain. The fact that it's an extremely well written, well researched fic makes it all the more haunting.

* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7059132/1/Mercurial_Cognizance Mercurial Cognizance]'', a deeply disturbing ''[[Durarara]]'' fanfiction that shows us what potentially goes on in Mikado Ryugamine's head. {{spoiler|An evil doppelganger attacks Mikado, [[Call Back|stabs him with a pen]], and ''rapes him''. All the while Evil!Mikado tells Good!Mikado that [[Jekyll and Hyde|everyone has a dark side that needs to come out]], while poor Good!Mikado is less concerned with the fact that he's being raped [[Mind Screw|by himself]] than he is truly terrified of the fact that ''he himself'' is capable of doing something like that to another person}}. Fortunately it turns out to be a dream...{{spoiler|and then Mikado looks down to see that his hand is now bandaged}}. And then he shudders and bursts into tears upon remembering the last thing {{spoiler|the doppelganger}} said to him...

* The [http://laliet.deviantart.com/art/Request-The-First-Cut-RDNA-verse-270773255 comic version] of the [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] AU fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7223760/1/The_First_Cut_A_RDNAverse_Snapshot The First Cut: Or, The Angels of the Rye]'' takes the implied horror of what the protagonist witnessed and shows it to the reader/viewer, showing aptly just why the titular first cut was hidden away. {{spoiler|Namely the haunting images of Poland and Lithuania, who were last reported killed during the Terror several decades before the story, ''staring right at you,'' pleading for help. Also, the protagonist is their ''grandson.''}}

* From ''[[Dragon Ball Multiverse]]'' we have {{spoiler|Universe 16 Pan being strangled to death by [[Complete Monster|Bojack]]. When it looks like she is about to break out of it...he ''SNAPS HER NECK''}}. [[Hell Is That Noise]] indeed.
