While looking over the offerings on Regai's Junk Math Trade list, I was struck with horror at the disembodied horse heads pictured for one of the games. This got me thinking about all the other potential nightmare fodder lurking in game boxes.
I'm not talking about game bits that are simply unattractive, or of substandard quality, or vaguely annoying. What games have bits that give you such a wiggins that you fear to see them when you close your eyes?
Edit: Please feel free to add pictures of any game components -- cards, images on the board, etc.

The inspiration for this list. Had the bits designer never seen the Godfather? Or are these bits some kind of creepy homage?

Who is this masked man? And why has he never been photographed together with 6 year old millionaire playboy Calvin?

Although I've never played the game, this is the first thing I thought of...

Sir Really-Really-Bug-Eyed (blue knight)
Even at full resolution, this photo doesn't quite show the freakish nature of this knight's eyes.

I'm sure that somewhere on the internet, there's a fetish site devoted to these kinds of images.
And, no, I don't want to know where.

I couldn't find a better picture of the "merchant" figure used in this game, but he's very fat (they were aiming for "jolly," I think) very brown...
...and very speckled.
WEIRD!

In Klunker, you get to sell things like tieras to 90 year-old anorexic plastic-surgery fans with bad hair!

I think most of the cards in this game are freaky... but the Doge just takes the cake!
FREAKY!
Is he made of wax or something?

Almost every component and even the box cover features freakishly bad artwork. All told, the game looks like someone puked on the table.

Freaky game bits you say? How about pigs that you throw like dice. I just don't want to know where they came up with the idea for this.

Have you ever had that dream where an extremely large Bob's Big Boy mascot animates, and, to everyone's horror, starts swinging at things with a baseball bat? Note the freaky look in his eyes as he towers over the children below. I believe that thing hanging out of his mouth is a kid with a red shoe trying desperately to escape.

After a game of this with the kids, they'll never want to go camping again.

Creepy hobo clowns with creepy reachy-grabby arms with creep squishy hands to grab the marbles...and youuuu! The copy that I found at a thrift store has an extra level of shiver because one of the arms is missing and one has a ripped sleeve. Probably an old hobo clown knife fight injury.

Can't have a freakiest-bit list without the spinning Ghost and all his junior ghosties! The game board itself is freaky too.
