** Speaking of such, the description of the final fate of Carpathia and Fortunato after 1,000 years in the Lake of Fire (writhing in torment in fire and brimstone and continuously crying "Jesus is Lord" over and over) with the understanding that they will spend eternity like that. Not to mention all the unbelievers who are doomed to join them.
** When Steele had a handshake with Carpathia. You don't want to see the latter's face.

Of course a series based on The Apocalypse will have some good ol' Nightmare Fuel. Here is just some examples:

* The Millennial Kingdom during Kingdom Come is actually pretty horrible when you think about it. Earth gets "perfected" so that the only landscape, ANYWHERE is either perfect rolling hills and flat plains great for agriculture, or calm seas, all of this under an endless blue sky with constant sunlight that is so bright, you have to wear sunglasses all the time. The only scenic geographical feature left is New Jerusalem, a giant city on top of an impossibly tall mountain that serves as the seat of an absolute theocracy where not adhering to the laws of the Bible will get you sent straight to Hell. Anyone who died and got saved comes back, but as a perfected version of themselves, incapable of any emotion other than happiness and love, as well as given absolute devotion to God. People who accept God by their 100th birthday become immortal, but their bodies still age at a slowed rate, meaning you have centuries-old people trapped in bodies that simply can't function properly anymore. And those that don't accept God by their 100th birthday? They go straight to Hell.

** So to recap, Earth is boring and lost all natural beauty, everyone is expected to just farm or whatever, your deceased loved ones that got saved came back wrong, and not doing anything the theocracy wants you to, which is pretty much anything interesting, earns you an instant one-way ticket to the Lake of Fire.

** The book dealing with the earthquake has one of the main characters encounter a man with a bleeding man whose family died in the quake, leaving him the only survivor. He begs her to kill him, and then ''hurls himself into a flaming crater'' when she refuses. And the audio drama version makes this even ''worse'' due to the surprisingly good acting and terrifying music.

* The entire setting is, in theory, rife with NightmareFuel and FridgeHorror. Between the Rapture making [[EmptyPilesOfClothing millions of people disappear instantaneously,]] the [[BoltOfDivineRetribution divine punishments]] [[SignsOfTheEndTimes visited on the world by God]], and that wonderful period where DeathTakesAHoliday, there's a lot of room for ReligiousHorror. Unfortunately, most of it remains as {{Subtext}} while we focus on the fight between [[DesignatedHero the Tribulation Forces]] and [[CardCarryingVillain the Global Community.]]
