Nightmare Fuel / Zoo

Go To

First Blood:

  • The news that two people were killed by lions after they shortly escaped from the local zoo.

The Silence of the Cicadas:

  • Packs of wolves join forces to completely overwhelm the prison's security forces.

Blame It On Leo:

  • The Reveal that Clementine's service dog is taking medication that's a product of Reiden Global, which means that her own dog is now a ticking time bomb.

This Is What It Sounds Like:

  • Evan being injected with something over his eye. It's only a good thing that it wasn't shown on-screen.

Sleuths:

  • Abraham's terrible past as a forced recruit for genocidal rebels who gave him a Sadistic Choice: to shoot one of his two little brothers, and spare the other to join their ranks. He refused, knowing both would be shot, because he felt the survivor's fate would be the worst. Made all the more horrible in that, unlike the show's premeditated animal attacks, it's the sort of thing that really happens in some chaos-stricken regions of Africa.

Murmuration:

  • Crows mob-attack people in a park, including a woman with a baby-stroller who's knocked down while trying to shield her own child. The murder of crows assail her until she completely stops moving, and then one crow perches on the stroller and just leans over, its beak spattering the small baby's face with red drops of its dying mother's blood. Egads, even The Birds didn't go that far...

The Moon and the Star:

  • Jamie and Logan think they've found safety in a small town... Until it turns out the townspeople vote every month on who to send outside the fence to basically feed to the animals. The townspeople honestly think that the animals accept their "sacrifice" to keep their town safe! And the scariest part? They may actually be right...

Sex, Lies and Jellyfish:

  • The Brazilian wandering spiders swarm-attacking Task Force members or creeping over Mitch's neck gave a lot of arachnophobic viewers the screaming heebie-jeebies.
  • The simple fact that a jellyfish is affected, in itself, is Fridge Nightmare Fuel for anyone with a grounding in basic biology. If even cnidarians are susceptible, that means no motile animal on Earth is exempt, because they're about as distantly-related to vertebrates as a member of Kingdom Animalia can get short of being a sponge.

Diaspora:

  • Abe and Dariela are shown a video from Reiden Global talking of how they think they can use children in a "pilot program" to figure out a cure. As soon as she starts on "protective custody," the two shove back the soldier in the room and take off outside. They see Isaac in a caged truck packed with children his age, helplessly watching as it drives off.
