Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated/Nightmare Fuel



Quite possibly the first Scooby Doo series that can legitimately frighten small children. The "monsters" go far beyond scaring people or kidnapping witnesses.


 * The first episode's monster traps a bunch of bystanders in pods, and the bodies are so grotesque that for a while the characters think they're dead.
 * Episode 2 has a few scary moments, like the monster gators chasing them mostly in the dark and when one of the gators shot their arm through the floor boards and grabbed Velma's foot and started to pull her down! The way they chased Scooby into the house was disturbing and trippy, and it was earlier shown through a billboard the words "The Dog Dies". All in all, the gators were some of the most violent monsters to appear on the show.
 * Episode 4 had the Man Crab. Sounds silly? It has the ability to pull you under the sand, making it look like you're gonna suffocate, and it emits a horrifying screech.
 * Not to mention that it's inhumanly strong and agile, and can walk up walls and ceilings like an insect, just look at all the destruction it wreaks while chasing people.
 * The zombie children in episode 5 look like they need a time out. What's even creepier -
 * In the beginning of episode 6 when Alice May pulls off her face to unveil a freaky zombie face.
 * Professor Pericles. *shivers* Too creepy for words. He somehow caused a man to taser himself from inside his massive, heavily-fortified jail cell. And.
 * The Fright Hound, the shriek it makes rivals the Man Crab in spookiness. The fact that armed guards at a maximum security animal asylum unload everything they have at him and he still keeps coming, just brings the terror beyond what some might think possible for a Scooby Doo episode..
 * Char Gar Gothikon!
 * The Cicada Creature, made of hundreds of thousands of them, in the shape of a giant cicada. Those cicadas swarm, driving a guy in his car off a cliff, and attacking a guy while he was taking a shower. Think about that for a moment. You have bugs crawling all over you, biting and itching while you are completely exposed. *shudder*
 * The way the shower guy later freaked out and flatlined. Disturbing enough on its own, but seeing it on Scooby Doo with the heroes acting totally nonchalant about it was just...
 * The fact that the main ingredient of the snack that Shaggy and Scooby had been eating was ?!
 * The shadows of the people in Crystal Cove as they, as well as Aphrodite's appearance.
 * Episode 17, "Escape from Mystery Manor". The ruins of the Darrow Mansion are filled to the brim with Fred Jones-level booby traps, except for the fact that
 * And before that,
 * Pretty much every chase scene. Gone are the days of Scooby-Dooby Doors and pop music being played over their chase scenes, the monsters in this series are seriously trying to hurt or even kill the gang.
 * There was that one time where Shaggy and Scooby tried to employ the SDD tactic on the bad guy in episode 7. Villain's response?.
 * This sticks in my mind. Episode 10 shows that Pericles knows someone close to Fred is gonna betray them. And in episode 21 we find out from Mr. E that as long as Fred is there,  won't be able to do anything. Something BAD is going to happen to our fearless leader sooner or later...
 * The body-beast of Episode 22's monster is freaky enough by itself, and that includes the freaky mouth in its stomach...
 * Episode 25 had a lot of nightmare fuel. Starting with the assassin Obliteratrix  nearly killing Mystery Inc. and Hatecraft. The fact that it was   who sent her  makes it even more horrifying given that he is supposedly one of Mystery Inc's allies but that has always been dubious. Then we get the real whooper . His chilling dialogue at the beginning of the episode and at the end leaves you with goosebumps and not the good kind.

 * How about this?
 * Let's face it,
 * No mention of the scene where
 * Maybe he introduced him to Scrappy Doo.
 * Now that's evil. Or maybe he made him read one of those Dusk books.
 * Dead Justice. A his face is mostly skeletal with pieces of his human skin still on there, he rides a horse that would be fit for one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, his bullets, despite looking like bullet bills, are somehow still unsettling and he drags criminals off to god knows where. Granted the reveal that  but he's still terrifying.
