The band:

  • Nightmare Fuel: Grin is a creepy album, but the biggest examples are "Theme For Silence" (which is an experimental ambient track) and "Host", especially the ending, which is even worse if you have a fear of insects.

The Series

  • Complete Monster:
    • "LJND": Fred Wozniak, aka "LJND", is the hidden antagonist responsible all the suspicious "suicides" throughout Season 4. Formerly a low-level pretty criminal, everything changed upon Fred discovering Tim Whitman and his growing support group for people who suffered near-death experiences. Seeing an opportunity, Fred murdered Tim and stole his identity, using his skills to build Surmount into a major organisation that he ran secretly ran akin to a cult. Not content with all the legitimate money he was making, Fred themed the Surmounts philosophy around persuading his indoctrinated followers to recreate their near-death experience, convincing them it was the only way to overcome their trauma, ensuring this time they actually died so he could pocket their money. His actions resulted in 7 deaths, with methods ranging from poison to exsanguination. Upon Blake Zaler refusing to comply, Fred simply strangled him and framed his death as another suicide. Foiled in his attempt to drown Cassidy James by her ex-husband Detective McAvoy, Fred attempted to make Cassidy stab him to death.
    • "The Suburbs" & "Bridges": Gerald Henry Jones was a wealthy Bay Street banker who moonlighted as a serial killer that preyed upon the homeless. Growing up homeless, Jones hated his father for failing to provide for his family, seeing him as a deadbeat. At fifteen, Jones murdered his father, stabbing him to death with a chisel, then changed his name and enrolled in high school. For the next 23 years, Jones would murder roughly one homeless person a year in the same manner, carving his kill count in Roman numerals into their rib, slaughtering people all over Ontario, including five people in Tent City, Toronto, climaxing with him murdering Floyd Shipman. Imprisoned for Shipman's death, after twelve years Jones was released following Dr. Peterson's cases being reopened. Jones broke into Peterson's home, and stabbed him to death for causing his imprisonment, making Peterson his 24th victim. Stalking the investigation into him, when Jenny finding his father’s body, Jones murdered Scully, a forensic investigator, stealing his suit to break into the Coroner's office and waited until everyone else had left before trying to kill Jenny.
    • "Scattered" & "Quick or Dead": Dylan Lee and Randal "Storm" Jefferies are a pair of psychopaths unified by an obsession with death. Dylan is an intelligent, handsome, falsely charming sociopath who strangled his own mother Olivia, then trapped her still half-alive in a freezer to slowly freeze to death. Storm, meanwhile, is his creepy, quiet accomplice, possessing an unhealthy fascination with pain and strength. When a computer expert was unable to regain his novel The God Abyss, detailing his rampage fantasies, Dylan murdered him. The same night, upon being caught stealing computer equipment, Storm shot Professor Gideon through the head, then he and Dylan dismembered his body and dumped it in the woods. Realizing the police were on to them, Dylan and Storm decided to fully embrace their fantasies and become spree killers. Going on a rampage with machetes that started with them murdering Storm's parents, they proceeded to kill an electrician for being in their way, nearly killed Ross Cooper in an attempt to regain the manuscript and then a mechanic, all the while Dylan secretly planned to kill Storm and Dylan' girlfriend Amanda, to climax his fantasy with himself as the only survivor.
    • "Safe Space": Evan Bosch, a successful dance coordinator for the Toronto Ballet Consortium, is behind closed doors a vicious Control Freak, who subjects girls as young as 14 to brutal training regimes that push them to the brink. Evan only cares about moulding his students into the living embodiments of his ideas, and even worse, is a manipulative sexual predator who regularly grooms his students, taking advantage of their naivety to rape them multiple times. Even when caught by two of his former victims, after attempting to force them to give him a false alibi for raping his latest victim, Evan refuses to accept any blame for his crimes, cruelly mocking their suffering and taking satisfaction in depriving them of closure.
