Line 72:
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3224332/1/Counts_of_Blood Counts of Blood]'' is a good ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' that crosses over with the ''[[Muppets]]'', of all things, but its portrayal of Count von Count is ''terrifying''. For starters, {{spoiler|he apparently cut up a mathemetician into over a hundred pieces and put them in small boxes,}} and early on in the story, ''{{spoiler|removes the feet of the poor sap who took the pills he needs to curb his violent tendencies!}}''
* ''[http://www.rovl.org/vi/?p=display&e=8482 It Makes Me Happy That I'm Not Them]'', set in an [[Ironic Hell]], veers between the merely eerie and extreme [[Gorn]]. It works surprisingly well for a horror fic based on [[Redwall|books aimed at ten-year-olds]], but it's still terrifying.
* Just about anything Ann-Kathrin Kniggendorf (otherwise known as AKK) wrote for ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers]]''. ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120502171245/http://www.annkniggendorf.de/gr/fanfic/thelie.html "The Lie"]'' has a brutal rape depiction that can shock even the most veteran reader, and acts as a crushing inversion of [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]]. It says something when the poor hero views having his soul ripped out afterwards as a relief! Her pre-series Supertrooper works are all the more chilling when you hear the violence and death described with clinical precision. ''[http://www.annkniggendorf.de/gr/fanfic/walkingthroughnightmares.html Walking Through Nightmares]'' depicts severe asthma, lung damage, and the inability to breathe in graphic detail. And then there's ''[http://www.annkniggendorf.de/gr/fanfic/raumjaeger.html Raumjaeger]''. Oh, shit. The classic idea of "what if Nazi Germany won" played for all the horror you can imagine and then some. You will ''not'' be sleeping well after it, especially after little details like the human-skin lampshade. Worse is that Ann-Kathrin, like half of the fandom's writers, is German and English isn't her first language. The show itself? A ''kids cartoon'' from [[The Eighties]].
* ''[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32847 Parts Of A (Bung)Hole]''. It starts off as a bit weird and angsty, with one hell of a [[Crack Pairing]], though the author does his best to make it believable. The ending, however, is positively hellish. {{spoiler|After learning that [[Beavis and Butthead]] (mostly Butthead) raped [[Daria]] & drove her to alcoholism & death in a drunk driving accident, Jane tears open Beavis' throat with her teeth while they're having rough sex & then uses his insides to paint a portrait of Daria on his bedroom wall.}} Daria fans do love them some [[Dark Fic]], but ye gods...
* The epic ''[[Kirby]]'' fanfic ''[[The Dream Land Story]]'' has the entire sequence in {{spoiler|Marx's mind}}, which was probably intended to be creepy. There's also {{spoiler|Kirby's Dark-Matter-induced night terrors}} which [[Nothing Is Scarier|are never described to the reader]]. And to top it all off, {{spoiler|Meta Knight's graphic suicide}}.
Line 125:
** Then there is The Ophilim Kiasoz {{spoiler|that destroys entire star systems just by passing through them}}
** Don't forget the Nex {{spoiler|(Keyboard attempts to bite editors fingers off and snags a thumb, new editor takes over)}} the merest mention of which causes the scroll the stroy is written on to turn into a swarm of spiders that nearly devour the author of the story before a sentry gun destroys them.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20111016055650/http://whovianscreate.englishboards.com/t910-plastic-nightmare This Doctor Who Auton-centric fanfic] has a moment at the beginning that involves a girl falling into a vat of plasmatically-charged plastic...and [[A Fate Worse Than Death|being torn apart, molecule by molecule]] (though she gets better eventually, by {{spoiler|being reborn as a non-Auton living mannequin}}). Doesn't help that one of the [[Original Character|original characters]] is a serial killer bent on "tying up loose ends", and the implication that [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|all of the Doctor Who monsters are real]].
** [http://whovianscreate.englishboards.com/t1093-plastic-murder The sequel]{{Dead link}} features--among other things-- Seducer Autons, female Autons that [[Cruel and Unusual Death|drown their victims in liquid plastic while kissing them]].
* ''[[Crimson Echoes]]'' has the scene towards the end when the team is exploring The Darkness Beyond Time...which is a horrifying enough concept as it is. But then you see the journal... {{spoiler|"There is nothing outside the windows. I mean that. Nothing."}} And you realize the people who are there aren't all just frozen and they're...alive and they're '''aware''' and there are billions of them, and you realize all the times when you played ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', '''you''' put them there...
* The ''[[Regular Show]]'' fan story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7224527/1/Regular_Addictions Regular Addictions]'' involves Benson going on a drug-and-alcohol binge because he is unhappy with his current life and wants to end it all. Since he's a gumball machine (lacking organs and what not), he realizes it leads to nowhere. What's one of the first things he does in his bout of insanity? {{spoiler|He decides to kill Veronica, his ex-girlfriend who is said to have dumped him callously, while saying the lyrics of a song he wrote for her with a dark tone}}. As if that weren't bad enough, {{spoiler|Mordecai had to keep it secret after Benson told him about what happened lest any other event could worsen the situation}}.
Line 134:
* ''[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...
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Doppelganger'''}}:{{spoiler|''It's not a dream''}}.}}
* The [http://laliet.deviantart.com/art/Request-The-First-Cut-RDNA-verse-270773255 comic version]{{Dead link}} 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.
* ''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1766/1/Cheerilee%27s-Garden/Cheerilee%27s-Garden Cheerilee's Garden]'', a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] fanfic, is about Cheerilee brutally murdering all the little fillies and foals she is supposed to teach, Saw-style. For some, it is even worse than the previously-mentioned Cupcakes.
