* The long buildup to Jessie being sexually molested by her father on the day of the eclipse is horribly, horribly uncomfortable to read. Then there's the act itself, and young Jessie's dawning confusion and fear as she tries to make sense of what's happening. The whole scene, and the moment afterwards in which her father manipulates her into keeping the ordeal a secret is pure AdultFear.

*** Only at the end of the movie do we find out what his deal is, and ''boy friggin' howdy'', it does not disappoint. As it turns out, he's real, but he's not some supernatural monster waiting to take her soul. He's a deformed, necrophiliac serial killer who snuck into the house while Jessie was sleeping. Lovely.

!!From the book:
* Of course, it's a King novel. The description of the Space Cowboy in the corner, and the way Jessie's never quite sure if he's there or not, is particularly terrifying. Especially if you're the type of person who is disoriented when you wake up.
** The way she escapes from the cuffs at the end. [[spoiler: She ''flays the skin off her hand'', using her own blood to grease the cuffs enough to slide her hand free.]] [[NauseaFuel Holy mother of God.]]
!!From the movie:
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/geralds_game_nightmare_fuel.jpg]]
* The whole premise of the movie: A woman handcuffed to a bed, with no way of escape and nobody to come rescue her. Utterly horrifying, and that's ''before'' the added twists that only Stephen King could have come up with:
** The whole reason the character is in this mess is because she agreed to take part in a bit of foreplay with her husband that soon turned out to be some sort of twisted rape fantasy on his part. And then, just when she starts to lay into him, he drops dead of a heart attack.
*** Imagine finding out that your spouse, with whom you've been married for years, is secretly harboring some deeply disturbing fetishes, and that they've managed to keep it a secret from you all your life.
** Then there's the damn dog.
