** [[Pony POV Series/Nightmare Fuel|Pony POV Series]]

** 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.

** And back on the GDI side: Zone Troopers and their ''railguns''. They have ultra-durable [[Powered Armor]], inhuman accuracy thanks to their sensors, can penetrate armor and buildings effortlessly, and the Nod infantry regulars facing them ''don't even have standardized rifles'', let alone equipment to compete.

** The "smart" claymores. They're small, innocuous disc-like devices that can be attached to walls or ceilings. If you're wearing a recognized uniform or IFF tag, it lets you pass. If you're not, it will hit you with a cloud of hypersonic shrapnel and white phosphorous that literally leaves the victim spread across an entire room as nothing but blackened meat and shredded equipment.

* Old, old [[Doctor Who|Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane]] fanfic in which SJ awakens from a nightmare, in which she and the Doctor {{spoiler|have suffocated in the TARDIS control room.}} At which point he comforts her, pecks her on the forehead, and {{spoiler|carries her through the closed doors of the TARDIS, holding her so that she can't see the two dead bodies on the control room floor.}}

* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4602078/1/Challenge_of_the_Super_Friends_The_End Challenge of the Super Friends: The End]'', where the Legion of Doom travel to a horrific Lovecraftian universe and end up like victims in the ''[[Event Horizon]]'' and ''[[Hellraiser]]'' films. Lots of horrific transformations and mind-bending imagery.

** Almost anything done by its author, Das Mervin, 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!

* The aptly named horror fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4868294/1/Nightmares Nightmares]''. This is a fanfic of ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'', a movie already known for Nightmare Fuel. To clarify, the story is a series of first-person vignettes, detailing the horrific dreams of the other four main characters during Toaster's [[Nightmare Sequence]]. It starts out only slightly unsettling, but gradually builds up, accumulating in the truly horrifying Chapter 4.

* This ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5415162/1/bBlood_b_Is_bThicker_b Blood Is Thicker]'', one of the few vampire fics that really stands out, with dread starting only a few paragraphs in. The [[Big Bad]] is {{spoiler|Lloyd's grandmother}}, Maetala, a [[Complete Monster]] of a caliber that makes Alucard look tame. After turning Lloyd into a vampire, she twists and manipulates him into giving up what little humanity he has still retained {{spoiler|encouraging him to eat a boar alive is probably the ''least'' horrifying thing she does all fic long}}, and the results leave Lloyd, a canonical [[Determinator]] a ''psychological wreck'' and makes it ''horrifically believable.''

* There are a lot of disturbing ''[[Pokémon]]'' fics out there, but the second half of ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6090923/1/Reunion Reunion]'' is just downright disturbing and at times grotesque. It starts off as a slightly darker AAML fic, with a lot of funny scenes, and then--{{spoiler|Butch gets his throat torn out by a Mighteyana, a sadistic psychic rocket elite who assimilates the minds of the humans and Pokemon he kills is literally torn apart as the souls he absorbed struggle to free themselves by literally growing off of his flesh, before throwing themselves to their deaths...with smiles on their lips...}} And ''it gets worse'' from there...

* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' mostly manages to cancel any horror with mind-boggling levels of awesome, but plenty of things slip through. Sahaquiel killing who knows how many millions of people around the planet in less than a day by flinging parts of itself into various cities and utterly annihilating two of them wasn't exactly pleasant. The [[Zombie Apocalypse]] unleashed on Tokyo-3 was far worse, with zombies that ''teleport anywhere they want'', can even infect the dead and heal quickly from almost any damage, only a bolter round to the head a guaranteed kill. The crowning jewel however is what happens when {{spoiler|the Earth's Cradle crashes into Germany}}. Essentially, it combines the Necrons ([[Omnicidal Maniac|kill everything]]), Tyranids ([[Horde of Alien Locusts|eat everything]]) and Chaos ([[The Corruption|corrupt everything]]) into an impossibly horrible amalgam that {{spoiler|renders most of the continent barren and swarming with monsters, leaving nothing behind}}. The intimate accounts of some of the survivors are custom-made nightmare material.

* [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Redwall]]'' fanfic ''Vengeance Quest'' is brilliant, but terrifying. The violence was one thing, but Guardcaptain Kiern's attitude is also creepy: he's pretty sure the actions of his sadistic co-workers are morally wrong, ''[[Well-Intentioned Extremist|and lets them happen anyway]].'' There's a scene where Captain Veneno rapes a prisoner in order to force her husband to spill the info they need, in front of Kiern, who's getting progressively more uncomfortable, but still doesn't do anything to stop him because there's no other way they'll get the information. Later on he talks to [[Big Bad]] Nightdeath Longclaws about it, essentially asking to be persuaded that it was okay to do this. Brrrr.

* ''[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.}}

** Orcs goes into fight with Tyranids {{spoiler|resulting in two species merging into unstoppable New Devouer, that ''eats half of the galaxy''}}

** God Emperor Of Mankind dies {{spoiler|only to be reborn in Warp as Star Father - ''Chaos God of Order''}}
