The incredibly unsettling chants the Skeksis engage in as the Ritual-Master carries the Peeper Beetle's container to the restrained Scientist sets up a terrifying atmosphere. skekTek's terrified screams and horrific cries for mercy, combined with skekSo's Evil Laugh accenting the chants don't help things either.

Ritual-Master: When we fail ourselves...

Skeksis: WE MUST BE PUNISHED!

Ritual-Master: When we fail each other...

Skeksis: WE MUST BE PUNISHED!!

Ritual-Master: When we fail our Emperor...!

Skeksis: WE MUST BE PUNISHED!!!

Scientist: Mercy! Mercy!! MERCY!!!
