** A lot of things made with the [[Vocaloid|MikuMikuDance]] software straddles the line between awesome and awesomely disturbing. What's especially fun is that the software can be used to make a model of just about anything. Case in point: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-b9eD7YDGs this], a such video featuring [[Yu-Gi-Oh|Seto Kaiba]]. And if you're feeling especially brave, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxUUFar63KU here's the same model, dancing to Black Rock Shooter]. The creator even apologizes that ''she couldn't get the model's eyes to stop rolling back into its skull.''

*** Besides the eyes, the only creepy thing is that he is singing with a ''[[Larynx Dissonance|girl's voice]]''.

* This is what made [[The Slender Man Mythos]] so captivating. The central [[Humanoid Abomination]] is an abnormally tall guy with [[The Blank|no face or hair]] that wears a business suit. He apparently can't talk, and he walks in a very stiff manner, often with his arms out in front of him. He can also teleport anywhere he wants. [[Paranoia Fuel|Like inside your house]]. The [[Multi Armed and Dangerous|tentacles]] are a bit off-kilter as well.

** Watch [[Marble Hornets]] alone at midnight. I dare you to sleep with the lights off afterwards.

*** Not that leaving them on will [[Daylight Horror|make you feel any better.]]

* Most of the attempts at making human-shaped cakes featured on [[Cake Wrecks]]. The infamous meatloaf baby is particularly horrifying.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp8dQhyJRBs This] [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Zelda]] [[Fan Film]] contains the perfect storm of both [[Uncanny Valley]] ''and'' [[Off Model]], with Link looking like he had a bad head injury and Ganondorf looking shiny. The animation itself, while decently choreographed, is jerky and unnatural, and the awful lighting makes things even worse.

* [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Atop the Fourth Wall]] has a surprising example with {{spoiler|the Entity. It's usually [[Eldritch Abomination|the complete opposite]], until you see it take the form of 90s Kid. Never mind the fact that it's acting and talking ''utterly different'' from [[Totally Radical|what we normally associate with him]], but the fact that his eyes ''are screens of static." Not to mention that the rest of the body keeps jerking to different positions without even moving. It's an example of this not only being invoked, [[Rule of Scary|but trying to creep us out.]] '''[[Nightmare Fuel|AND IT WORKED.]]'''}}
