It builds nightmares out of their worst memories and drinks their pain.
One of your companions has a particularly bad worst memory.

The trope I appreciate very much
New favorite B Dylan Hollis quotes:
"Tomato spice: if pumpkin spice got hit by a bus."
"If this red flag was any bigger, it would be a blanket."
"Looks like barbecue sauce, smells of death."
"It tastes like someone killed Italy."
"How do you know when a laxative is done baking?"
"Good morning, it's time for mayonnaise."
"Mid-century America has produced many suspect salads, many of which continue to leak out of the angsty states of Wisconsin and Minnesota."
*incoherent screaming upon salt package spilling onto the floor*
"This tastes like a diagnosis."
Lessons I have learned:
People in the 60s were very creative with gelatin, for better and for worse.
The absence of sugar in WW2 encouraged the use of raisins in desserts, which raises a number of questions as for why they continued to be used after.
Margarine is the work of the devil and should be treated as such.
