  • Complete Monster (Something Scary):
    • The Gator Man of Elmendorf: The titular Gator Man, Joe Ball—loosely based on the real Serial Killer—seems to be a friendly bartender, who secretly lures or kidnaps women to feed to alligators on his farm. He is considered a local hero for leading the search for one of him youngest victims, earning the trust of said victim's family. Ball maims and kidnaps a man looking for his sister Ball kidnapped, intending to feed them both to the gators; said sister is being forced to participate in his crimes, and is seen feeding the gators a severed arm. When exposed, Ball intends to kill the detective investigating him, and when incapacitated, throws himself into the gator pit to avoid being arrested, laughing maniacally as he's eaten alive.
    • The Monster Who Mocks: The titular monster of this shory—dubbed the Mimic—is a humanoid shapeshifting creature who approaches a delinquent boy being disciplined at a boot camp. The Mimic makes a deal with the boy and tells him it can give them both what they want before taking his form. The Mimic proceeds to set the boy up for a series of dangerous and deadly pranks around the camp, continuously getting him into trouble. When the boy goes to confront the Mimic, the true horror is revealed; the Mimic knocks the boy out and he awakens to find his school reduced to a flaming wreck, with the Mimic slaughtering and devouring staff and students alike, assimilating their body parts. The Mimic sarcastically thanks the boy for the opportunity, before disappearing into the woods.
    • Spring-Heeled Jack: The titular Spring-Heeled Jack is a demon that terrorizes Victorian England, preying on children during night hours. Jack prides itself in the terror he instills in his victims, using their fear to strengthen himself. Capturing the brother of a girl he earlier kidnapped, Jack attempts to eat one of them and force the other to watch. Blown apart by his would-be victims, Jack vows to return to exact vengeance on them and their descendants for trying to stop him.
  • Moment of Awesome: "Speak up! (...) If you were saying something kind, you wouldn't be whispering. (...) Why are you need to hide your face behind a computer screen?" This is highly cathartic coming from Chris who had been putting up with Ryan's cyberbullying and finally gets to confront her in person. Even more impressive, when the Whispers turn on the entire class and Ryan tries to accuse Chris of "infecting [them]", Chris maturely points out that the Whispers are responsible for their misfortune, and tells them all they don't have to let the Whispers turn any of them into monsters.
  • Nightmare Fuel: In "The Christmas Present", the very concept that someone could spy on you through any Christmas present you got for your kid is pretty chilling.
    • "Child of the Cliff" has a moment where Pastel and Greg take their deformed and unnamed daughter to Mines View Park and wordlessly decide to throw their child off the cliff. As if they didn't just kill their innocent child for the crime of being ugly, Greg comforts Pastel with chilling calmness "We'll try again, honey".
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Something Scary's modern rendition of "The Red Death" was shared in wake of the Covid-19, acting as a cautionary tale about what happens when people disregard quarantine and safety regulations.
