Nightmare Fuel / Broodhollow

Go To

As a comic based, at least in part, on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, you have to expect some High Octane Nightmare Fuel, and Broodhollow does not fail to deliver.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Any time the comic starts to get Red and Black and Evil All Over, expect to get a hefty dose of Nightmare Fuel.
  • The Fridge Horror of realizing that Iris' amnesia about her father is not an isolated issue.
  • The dreams where people's faces are replaced with holes.
    • And then Zane reaches behind his head in a dream and feels it happening to him, too. Then it descends into his entire head being caved in by a hole, leaving nothing but a torso that starts also gaining holes.
  • Though usually just darkly humorous, the Cadavre comic and Zane's dreams about Cadavre can descend into Surreal Horror.
  • The moment when Zane finds his old journal, torn and covered with blood, suggesting that he had already attempted to restore his memories through shock and horror, and it didn't work. Also, the journal's last pages are covered in blood, implying that Zane may have had something to do with Maris' death...
  • "Beautiful night, isn't it?"
