Body Horror/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' uses this trope all the time. People get their skin ripped off, cosmetic surgery goes horribly, horribly wrong, a guy gets a body made out of eye-balls, the list goes on and on.

* ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman]]''

** Clayface I's couple of minutes of screen time in ''The Clay Face of Tragedy'' combine this with [[Tear Jerker]].

** What happened in Clayface II's introductory episode. Near the end, confronted with images of his acting roles, he starts morphing involuntarily in a [[Superpower Meltdown]] scene which can only be described as a cross between [[Akira|Tetsuo's final mutation]] and [[The Terminator|T-1000-in-the-smelter]].

* An episode of ''Extreme Ghostbusters'' had one of the lead characters becoming an evil clown-like creature. Then there's the episode "Crawlers" where people were turned into mutant bug creatures and another episode featured a group of monsters who used surgery to turn people into more monsters.

** The Deadliners...argh, the Deadliners. Basically, they're [[Expies]] of Clive Barker's [[Hellraiser|Cenobites]] who perform on unwilling victims "unnecessary surgery" that would make Ivo Shandor put away his tools in disgust. The worst part? The Ghostbusters are ''unable to put a dent into them'' until Garrett writes that they're vulnerable to the Proton Packs.

** There's also what happens to people that get trapped in the Web without proper protection. Bob was only in there for a short time and his uniform was warped, his silver hair ''melted'' and turned black, his hands were charred black, and he had various scars on his neck and face. And he had ''partial'' protection from the Web too. Without that Bob would have ended up like Web Riders, which were in even worse shape.

* The ''[[The Secret Saturdays]]'' episode "Ghost in the Machine" features a villain that creates a DNA reactor that merges living tissue. He places Zak, Fiskerton and Komodo into the machine, and... it isn't pretty.

* Parodied in ''[[The Mask]]''. Stanley is in [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Pretorius']] base, having found out that the madman has kidnapped the mayor. On a workbench, we see a red lump of ''something'' with a glass dome over it. Stanley immediately exclaims, "Mayor Tilton!", and an exasperated Pretorius says, "No, that's hamburger meat!" Crisis averted...until Pretorius turns the uncooked hamburger meat into a living, snarling monster.
