Summary[]

Sometimes, things that never had the intention to come off as terrifying but, to the majority, seem to commit to scaring the public. This notion is universally familiar to anyone who was ever scared by a disturbing image, toy, book, scene, close-up, ghost, character, creepypasta, horror movie, or whatever that could scare a person, because of such frightening experiences at such a young age. This is what we like to call in Know Your Meme, "Nightmare Fuel".

Below is a gallery depicting myriad examples of this frightening phenomena, but when submitting, remember:

  • Nightmare Fuel was NOT meant to be scary in the first place.
  • Nothing from any serious horror films or ghosts or paranormal pics or gore or anything like that, please.
    • If it is meant to be scary in the first place, it will automatically be disqualified as Nightmare Fuel. Yes, this includes things that are meant to be creepy or scary in childrens and family cartoons. So no number 666, Chernobog, gross close-up shots in SpongeBob SquarePants and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Frank from the first Cars movie in 2006, the clown from The Brave Little Toaster, the walrus that only appeared in one episode of Pingu, Squidward's Suicide, suicidemouse.avi, the mascot of Fujiya's Milky, Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour, the Potato Knishes guy, the "I was nice today" meme from Ren & Stimpy, and such nightmare fuel that are not in this photo gallery.
  • It's common to find material in advertisements, video-games, children's cartoons, adult shows, etc, which are pften innocent in nature.
  • No cropping/editing images to make them more frightening; that's cheating. Genuine Nightmare Fuel is supposed to be scary enough on its own.
  • As with other galleries, screamers do not belong here. Post any, and you will be banned. Animated GIFs are fine, but NO SCREAMERS. If you do, you will die by Ganon!
