* Adam Ewing's situation: [[spoiler:being affected by a lethal parasite aboard a ship all alone in the sea, too weak to do anything about the culprit who came to meet him ''daily''.]]
* Bill Smoke. He's a ruthless hitman who cares little for collateral damage, murdering many innocent bystanders in the process of doing his job. He even blows up an entire plane full of people just to kill one man.
** Hell, his introductory scene alone [[spoiler:(in which he assassinates Rufus Sixsmith)]] makes him appear more like a stealthy predator than any human being. In complete silence and without anyone noticing, he climbs onto [[spoiler:Sixsmith's]] hotel balcony, sneaks his way into the room, and by the time his prey realises someone's there, Smoke is already right behind him. He then kills [[spoiler:Sixsmith]] without a single word.
* The way Dermot Hoggins kills Felix Finch, the critic who lambasted his novel. He grabs him by the lapels, hauls him over to the rooftop and throws him off the railing. And in the film, we get to see his body hit the ground in a spray of red mist. Coupled with Dermot's BondOneLiner:
-->'''Dermot Hoggins''': Now [[WhosLaughingNow THAT'S an ending flat and inane beyond belief!]]
** Which just goes to show, never insult the memoirs of a LondonGangster.
* Aurora House is a real slice of modern nightmare fuel for anyone who's pushing senior age; it's effectively a prison disguised as a retirement home. The residents are mostly people dumped there by their jerkass family members who are just waiting for them to die, the staff are tyrannical (and are guilty of several human rights violations) and nobody is allowed to leave for any reason, nor are they allowed any contact with the outside world. It's all summed up in one dark sentence by Nurse Noakes:
-->'''Nurse Noakes:''' These people are ''mine.''
* The hallucination sequences with Zachry and Old Georgie himself. Imagine The Devil mixed with a particularly evil looking Witch Doctor and a voice that can make the ground shake. Georgie even serves as NightmareFuel for Zachry as well, as he always gets a OhCrap look on his face every time he rears his ugly mug.
* [[spoiler: The Fabricant slaughterhouse, and the AwfulTruth of what [[ReleasedToElsewhere ultimately happens to Fabricants who go through "Xultation".]]]]
* The cafe where Sonmi~451 works feels a bit too clean and inviting in a creepy way.
** Interestingly though, the pristine cleanliness of the diner (when open) contrasts strongly with the reality underneath the digital and holographic veneer; Papa Song's is actually quite shabby. Perhaps the idea that was meant to convey is that the glossy corporate image is all fake and superficial. Artificial people (the fabricants) as workers, a fake veneer, and quite possible, fake food as well.
* The Kona Tribe is basically walking Nightmare Fuel, with their creepy makeup, how fast they show up and the fact that they are ''[[IAmAHumanitarian cannibals]]''.
