Hmm, I’m just here reading these replies and realizing I’ve been too scared to actually finish most of the stories you all are listing. 'I Have No Mouth...' I read a summary of and noped out. Maybe I’ll stick to the sci-fi that’s a bit more hopeful.

The anime 'Parasyte: The Maxim' has elements of this. The parasites themselves are a kind of biological experiment in predatory adaptation. But the real horror-experiment is in Shinichi’s symbiotic relationship with Migi. His body is the lab, and the coexistence of human and parasite is an unplanned evolutionary test. The changes to his physiology and psychology are monitored and remarked upon, turning him into a unique specimen.

The nightmare is the loss of pure humanity and the constant, intimate negotiation with an alien intelligence sharing your form. It’s a personal, body-level experiment in survival and co-evolution, with Shinichi as the primary subject experiencing all the terrifying and empowering changes firsthand.

The TV series ‘The Returned’ (the French original, ‘Les Revenants’) has an eerie, low-key scientific horror underpinning its ghost story. The returned aren’t ghosts; they’re physical, confused copies. The slowly revealed implication of a dam, flooded towns, and possibly a government experiment related to consciousness or reality is the source of the dread. The ‘experiment’ is ambiguous, environmental, and long-term.

The horror is in the uncanny disruption—the returned are walking questions without answers, their very existence a breach of natural law that suggests some large, unknown interference. It’s less about a lab and more about an entire valley being the site of a subtle, catastrophic phenomenological event that science can’t yet explain, only witness.

For a purely literary, slow-burn dread, try 'The Girl with All the Gifts' by M.R. Carey. The fungal pathogen is a natural phenomenon, but the military’s response—keeping infected children like Melanie in a lab, studying them, testing their limits—is the horrific experiment. The cold, clinical environment of the base contrasts brutally with the children’s humanity. The nightmare is institutional, about treating sentient beings as test subjects in a doomed search for a cure or a weapon.

It asks terrifying questions about what we’re willing to do to other thinking, feeling creatures in the name of survival science. The horror isn’t just the zombies; it’s the steel tables, the restraints, and the dissections performed on beings who can beg for their lives.

You ever read fanfiction that does this trope really well? Some of the darker ‘Batman’ or ‘Superhero Lab AU’ stuff gets into seriously messed up territory with characters being experimented on. It hits different when it’s characters you already have an attachment to. Not naming any specific fics, but the potential for horror is huge in those spaces.
