History NightmareFuel / Hellblazer

* The monstrous elite club where Britain's upper class indulge in all manner of horrible depravities, including cannibalism, devil worship and murder. One man, implied to be Prince Harry, snorted his uncle's funerary ashes. What's worse is, they don't see the SLIGHTEST problem with this and just excuses themselves with the idea that England's aristocracy has always "fed" on the poor.

* There's also ''Rare Cuts'', a compilation of the most Nightmare Fuel-o-riffic ''Hellblazer'' short stories, which culminates with John and a friend trying to save a village from a mind-warping pagan festival with masks involved. Those big, hideous, over-the-whole-head ones. And guess who's the only survivor.
** Rare Cuts specifically brings up the effects of Margaret Thatcher's politics on rural Britain, and how the working class had been reduced to barbarism and turned on each other.

* "Archbishop Bomb. Archbishop Bomb. Archbishop Bomb."

* In the very first issue, John Constantine drops by to visit his friend Gary "Gaz" Lester. Letting himself in, he finds that the place has an awful stench and hasn't been cleaned in weeks. The syringe he finds with tiny bug carcasses suspended in fluid is disturbing, but when he enters the bathroom and finds Gaz sitting in the bathtub complaining: "[[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Gary_Lester_(New_Earth) ... it feels like there's bugs all over me]]", it's pure NightmareFuel. What's causing Gaz's problems is even worse: he's become the host of a famine demon who causes people to literally consume the objects of their desire, i.e. start gobbling up money or jewelry as if it's the last, most delicious food on earth [[note]]See the liquor store scene in the film version for a similar premise[[/note]]. One disturbing panel shows a bodybuilder [[ITasteDelicious chewing on his own muscular arm]]. The only way to keep innocent bystanders safe is for Constantine to seal Gaz alive in a wall.

** From the same story, there's Angel, the eponymous Horrorist. Essential an anthropomorphic personification of human misery, determined to balance the karmic scales by bringing suffering everywhere she goes: [[WalkingWasteland just by walking through a town]], Angel causes famine, oppression, serial-killing and insanity to erupt across the area without any logical origin. As if this wasn't creepy enough, Angel's appearance has HumanoidAbomination written all over it: a seemingly ordinary young woman with an eerily-beautiful face, [[BlackEyesOfEvil unblinking "black hole" eyes]], and a [[DissonantSerenity curiously detached demeanor]] that plants her squarely in the middle of the UncannyValley.

* John's actor friend who has been the inspiration for so many fictional characters that the universe now classifies HIM as a fictional character and thus tries to balance itself by drawing him into the realm of fiction rather than the real world, and does this by sending all manner of characters after him, including [[TreasureIsland Blind Pew]], SherlockHolmes, and [[OliverTwist Bill Sykes]]. He's finally captured and sentenced to the Vault Of Minor Characters where forgettable minor characters are consigned to limbo. The person who draws him there? WinnieThePooh.

* The Newcastle Incident itself. It's not what happened that's so bad (we've seen worse since), but what's haunting about it is that it all happened because of recklessness and ignorance.
