This being a horror anthology, there's a good deal of it, but here's a brief list of some of the worst.
WARNING: Spoilers are unmarked.
- "A View Through the Window" has, by far, the most horrifying twist ending in the series. A military physicist is called to investigate an anomaly in the desert: a window to another world, though which they can see an idyllic farm occupied by a family who look as if they stepped out of the mid-1800s. The physicist becomes enamored with a lovely young widow in the family, and feels a deep connection with her (as he recently lost his own wife and son). He realizes that the barrier surrounding the farm vanishes for a few seconds each day; after communicating with the woman — and feeling more infatuated with her than ever — he ignores the warnings of his colleagues and passes through the barrier. He and the woman clasp hands and stare deeply into one another's eyes...before she unhinges her jaw, revealing a mouthful of fangs, which she sinks into his neck. The rest of the "family" surround the man and begin eating him alive. Before the soldiers can help him, the family patriarch magically closes the barrier, and the farm vanishes from sight, leaving the man to a horrifying fate. Mood Whiplash doesn't even begin to describe it.
- It gets worse. As the soldiers walk away from the spot where the barrier closed, we see the family watching them through from the other side, the boy striking at the barrier with one of the doctor's leg bones. Meanwhile, the family patriarch gazes at his pocket watch, waiting for the moment when the barrier will re-open.
- When the episode was uploaded to YouTube, many viewers commented that it had traumatized them as children, and that the ending had stuck with them long after they'd forgotten the name of the series. It's that bad.
- The twist in "Rest Stop" where it turns out it's a new twist on the old Cannibal Clan concept. Thankfully, the locals aren't cannibals... but they do kill travelers and turn them into gaudy souvenirs for other dumbass tourists to buy! The actual workshop (underneath the truck stop), however, is still really disturbing...
- The Cruel Twist Ending of "Afterlife." Not to mention how mentally unbalanced the man is after he's revived, considering it to be a good thing to kill his family just so they can join him in "Heaven"...
- The ending of the episode reveals that the "Heaven" he remembered visiting was actually the beautiful stained glass window above his casket in the chapel. It's also mentioned that he had brain damage from oxygen deprivation before he escaped from the casket. He wasn't just trying to murder his family: he was trying to murder his family for the sake of a delusional fantasy.
- At the end of the episode, when the man's dead body is laid out in the chapel, his eyes open and affix themselves on the stained glass window. The mortician and the funeral director both remark on this, with the mortician stating that it has happened several times; neither one seems to have an explanation for it. While they failed to notice the window (or make the connection between it and the man's visit to "Heaven"), it still doesn't explain why the man's eyes would continue to open after he was dead...
- The death of the shock jock in "Dead Air" is pretty unsettling, mainly because of how you don't get to see any of it...but you sure do get to hear him scream. There's also the dead rats the Serial Killer leaves in the shock jock's food. Hell, "Dead Air" is just pure Nightmare Fuel from beginning to end.
- The crewman having his own head slowly devoured by the people he helped in "Cargo".
- While the ending of "My So Called Life And Death" is broadcast in advance by the episode's title, it's still a haunting (no pun intended), horribly depressing conclusion. The protagonist discovers that she, and her entire family, are ghosts trapped in the burnt-out vacation home where they died (courtesy of her bratty Pyromaniac little brother). Her mother can't handle reality, and refuses to acknowledge what happened or the role she played in it, forcing the family to continue playing out the fantasy that they're just a normal family on vacation. The girl is unable to move on or find peace, ostensibly forever; what's worse, she's going to spend eternity trapped in the company of a family she not only can't stand, but now knows was responsible for her death.
- There's also the girl's undead, burned face — which the poor new owner gets to see up close, in all its gory detail. More than once, based on his reaction. Brrrr.
- "Neighborhood Watch": Upon receiving word that a sexual predator has moved into an apartment building, a neighborhood rallies together to confront him — which ultimately results in the father of one particular family killing him. So naturally, it is eventually revealed they were targeting the wrong man: the notice that revealed the predator's identity mislabeled the apartment number. And what makes all of this so much worse is that this scenario can, and has, happened in Real Life.
