* The recent CallofDuty games from CallofDuty4 onward seem to adore blood-red skies. Whenever something horrible is going down, whether it's a nuclear bomb or a bloody street battle in Hue City, the skies are an ominous shade of red. Subverted sometimes when a HighOctaneNightmareFuel moment or something plot-critical actually happens in clear blue skies.

* In {{Furmentation}}, when the demons attack.

Evil clouds are not necessarily red, but this is the general colour of choice. Red signifies a hazard in the West, so showing clouds in a crimson hue automatically flags them as dangerous. When the clouds roll red, it's time to run.

Except that the clouds being talked about here are themselves more, well... direct than their symbolic cousins. They're not just a sign or symptom of impending [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt doom and disaster]], they ''are'' the impending doom and disaster. Maybe they're really a mass of enemies so large that it just ''looks'' like a cloud, or maybe they're some ghostly beast of a supernatural nature. Maybe they burn. Or maybe they just hang there looking ominous and threatening to unleash something awful which never quite happens because the player/watcher either sees the story through to a HappyEnding or [[NightmareFuel turns off the television]]. Whatever they are, you'd better believe it won't be good.
