History NightmareFuel / CloudAtlas

* 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:

* The cafe where Sonmi~451 works feels a bit too clean and inviting in that UncannyValley kind of way.

** Hell, his introductory scene alone (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 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 Sixsmith without a single word.

* The Kona Tribe is basically walking Nightmare Fuel, with their creepy makeup, how fast they show up and the fact that they are ''cannibals''.

* [[spoiler: The Fabricant slaughterhouse.]]

* The hallucination sequences with Zachry and Old Georgie hisself. Imagine the The Devil mixed with a particularly evil looking Witch Doctor and 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.

** 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.

* Adam Ewing's situation: [[spoiler:being poisoned aboard a ship all alone in the sea, too weak to do anything about it even thought the culprit came to meet him ''daily''.]]
