History NightmareFuel / Archer

season 14 episode 6 is set at a luxury plastic surgery spa with several characters making some dark humoured jokes about the older patients receiving facial surgery having to be careful not to sneeze or cough in case their faces fall off. played straight during the climactic fight with the bad guys henchmen where a guest does indeed sneeze off screen, only for one of the henchmen to scream "oh my god her face fell off!"
its further implied that cyril then slips on the face and falls, causing his own calf implants to shift into his thighs.

* The crocodile attack in "The Rules of Extraction." While the series has had bloody moments before, seeing two unconscious men literally getting dismembered by a trio of gigantic raging crocodiles is pretty damn horrifying.

** Hell, Cheryl's entire FAMILY, the Tunt dynasty; an entire family line of nothing but slavers, genocidal racists, robber barons and pedophiles. Hell, Cheryl is likely the NICEST of them, not counting her brother who's still a bit of a dick. The Tunt ancestral mansion is honeycombed with secret passages that her ancestors used for their creepy and insane hobbies such as searching for runaway slaves to sell back to their owners (in ''1890'', on top of thinking that the Underground Railroad was an actual physical railroad), terrorizing the servants and "checking in" on the children.
* Throughout "Edie's Wedding", Barry's downright insane behavior. The final part of the show ends with him seemingly dead, only for one eye to switch back on and him to laugh maniacally.
* In the season 6 finale "Drastic Voyage," Nerius only has one hour in its miniaturized form before it reverts back to its original size. Unfortunately they do not make it and end up killing the patient and everyone else in the medical room at the time.
** Cyril's out-of-nowhere "Freshmaker" rant in the same episode about Ray's new robotic hand coming alive and going on a killing spree.
* Archer's TranquilFury in ''Sitting'' is pretty much the ultimate example: Sterling Malory Archer's default setting has always been half assed and even with that he's done some amazing and terrifying things. His setting while he was about to go PapaWolf? '''''Quadruple ass'''''. Good thing it was all an act but think of what would have happened had Archer followed through...

* Krieger's overall MadScientist persona is mostly played as LaughablyEvil but it's occasionally shown that, yes, Krieger IS dangerously unbalanced and being friends with a mad scientist is NOT fun. He constantly tries to use his co-workers as guinea pigs for his insane ideas, drugs them, takes their blood, unleashes his unholy experiments on them, and that's just the people he ''likes''! It's also hinted that he kills his holographic AI girlfriend whenever she annoys him too much, then just reboots her so she won't remember it. That's not even touching that the current Krieger might not even be the real one, he might've been replaced by one of his clones in season 5. There's evidence for both.
** The disgusting ''Film/Se7en''-style building Krieger lives in, because he spends all of his salary on his private experiments.

* Dutch getting ''graphically'' mauled and killed by Krieger's Cyberhounds during "Auflösung".

* "Disheartening Situation" has terrifying encounters with the island's carnivorous wildlife - Cyril is nearly devoured by an enormous snake and the gang has to shoot and stab their way through multiple waves of Komodo Dragons.
* [[FluffyTheTerrible Funbeak]]'s introduction in "Happy Borthday". A [[HellIsThatNoise screeching]] RoboticPsychopath spitting lightning from its wings? Even Archer looks like he's about to shit his pants.

* Season 11 Episode 8 has a bunch of throwaway gags suggesting that Archer never left his coma. Luckily WordOfGod confirmed that he did leave the coma, but he was suffering severe PTSD due to the unrealness of this particular scenario.

** It doesn't beat "Waxing Gibbous" where the cast arrives at Trexler's mansion looking for the ransom money, only to find it seemingly abandoned and dark. After a brief search, they notice that the floor is ''covered'' in blood, and hears Trexler crying somewhere further into the mansion. Rushing after the sound, they find a weeping Trexler surrounded by 13 horribly mutilated corpses, presumably the remains of his bodyguards, positioned in a gruesome diorama of the Last Supper, with Dutch walking out of the shadows, hands dripping with blood.

* "Disheartening Situation" has terrifying encounter with the island's carnivorous wildlife.

** One of the most terrifying moment in that episode is when Lana is trapped in the medical bay with a crazy Archer as the latter starts to fling her around before gagging her with a magazine with the intent to kill her ala''Film/Alien'' . And if the crew didn't stop Archer, he surely would have!

* Lana's reaction to finding Katya's robot vagina in Archer's sink at the end of "Reignition Sequence", which also doubles as [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny]]. While it's very entertaining to see Lana freak out, it's also the most furious we ever see her in the series, and it. Is. ''Terrifying''.
