Nightmare Fuel / Let's Play

"That's not even nightmare fuel. That's nightmare fuel for the nightmare bus that you drive off the nightmare cliff into nightmare canyon."

—Dan Avidan, Game Grumps, during their playthrough of Super Troll Island.

"Let's watch a Let's Play" they say. "It'll be fun" they say.

• During a Let's Play of The Walking Dead, the Chilean player Xoda had the option of killing - by himself - one of the characters of the game, and decided to call his mom to ask her what to do. Her answer? An extremley casual "Kill him, then".
• Another one from Xoda, during a Let's Play Slender: The Arrival, just when the Slenderman appear to him, his room lights turned off at the same time! He got scared even more during that moment.
• The vision Lanayru gives Link in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is pretty trippy-weird, right? Well, in the The Straw Hat NO Let's Play, the commentary track is pitched down for much of it, making said commentary incomprehensible and kind of unsettling.
• The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, the Let's Play of Animal Crossing. With such fun things as statues that slowly turn you into animals, and a woman luring kids to an abandoned island so that she can take away their body parts and put them on her own body.
  • "Diary of an Animal Crossing Psycho" is perhaps even more squicky.
• Most of Chris Redfields' hallucinations in The Dark Id's R Emake LP can fall under this, but it was this chapter where it was worst.
• This Let's Play of Pokémon Quartz has Foxy's breakdown at the end. The music linked to it does not help. But by far the worst of it comes with this◊ picture and the accompanying caption;
  HELP ME, SOMEONE, HELP! THE VOICES WON'T STOP, THOSE HIDEOUS VOICES, THOSE WRETCHED DAMNABLE FUCKING VOICES, CALLING FOR ME, DEMANDING ME, SCREAMING FOR ME!!!!!!
  • After that, however, it's revealed that the entire LP was the result of an attempt to teach Ludicolo the move Dream Eater (which is impossible) Gone Horribly Wrong. Sure, it was All Just A Nightmare, but it was still a nightmare that forced Foxy into a mental hospital.
• A Let's Play of The Path by thevoiceofdogSA isn't too bad...he narrates each girl's journey like a fairytale, and has some nice Black Comedy jokes thrown in...but then he plays Ginger's route. After the seemingly-happy playdate with a girl in red, the LPer starts talking about how what a nice ending this was—only to start screaming and panicking when he sees Ginger shuffling towards the house. The video is slowed down, distorting the sounds, the guy is screaming so loud that it warps his voice on the microphone... And just his dialogue is creepy too. "GINGER! DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE, PLEASE! GINGER, CAN YOU HEAR ME? IF YOU GO INTO THE HOUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU! GINGEEEEER!" And then after the final animation, where there was once a calm and neutral "The End," there is now a broken and horrified whisper of "It's never going to end... is it?"
