History NightmareFuel / GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas

* Even if she provides some [[LaughablyEvil comic relief]] in the game, [[AxCrazy Catalina]] is NightmareFuel personified, especially in her casual dialogues with CJ.

* Catalina is very disturbing, especially in her dialogue, with some references to cannibalism and sadism. Not to mention when [[ForTheEvulz she rapes/tortures CJ]].

* Tenpenny and Pulaski are creepy in themselves. They are sadistic and ruthless [[DirtyCop dirty cops]] who are accused of heinous acts, including rape and murder of their own comrades. There is no reason why these events take place, and indeed, they have no redeeming traits at that.
** And of course, what makes them even more horrific is that unlike the gangsters of previous games, they have the full protection of the law and abuse that authority. Tenpenny and Pulaski make it clear that they can do these horrible things to CJ, his friends and his family and get away with it, because they are cops.

** Not to mention the police dispatcher that you can hear in any emergency vehicle has specific lines for it and they do sound ''really serious'' unlike in the normal situations where they are otherwise humorous, considering all the [[https://youtu.be/ggx2Od2PFlI angry rioters, women screaming, explosions, gunshots and the distress from the officers desperately trying to keep things under control]]. But that is not just that when it comes to radio; even radio hosts [[OnlySaneMan Julio G]] and [[{{Goth}} Sage]] have their own reactions to the chaos, with the former being more empathetic for the Los Santos civilians and the latter ''celebrating'' it.

* "The Green Sabre." The sheer and sudden MoodWhiplash from near-victory against the Ballas to [[spoiler:Ryder and Smoke's FaceHeelTurn, CJ and Sweet's DarkestHour, and Tenpenny and Pulaski's NearVillainVictory]] can be pretty unsettling.

** One can simply enable riot cheats causing the whole San Andreas under state of emergency.

* Near the end of the game right after you [[spoiler: killed Big Smoke]], [[MoralEventHorizon Tenpenny now wilingly to kill CJ and left him to die by burning down the Crack fortress by shooting one of the engines of this building]] is pretty harrowing, CJ would have burned alive painfully if he had never escaped unscathed.

* In general, all the [[UrbanLegendOfZelda urban legends]] that the game has: serial killers with chainsaws, the killer of the hut (and indeed, is quite chilling if you get to these huts abandoned overnight in the game), Big Foot, the Loch Ness monster, UFO, ghosts, etc.. Just go at the night only to places where supposedly there are such legends and tremble.

* Out in the desert near Las Venturas and the desert air strip, there is a hole in the ground. The hole is filled with bodybags.

** The ghost cars, especially the ones in the Back-O-Beyond. It just rolls down a small hill, completely battered with no driver, and then promptly glides to a halt. No explanation for why it is there or how it got there, miles from any road in the middle of the woods. It isn't malicious, it gives you a free ride, but ''man'' is it creepy.

** This also grades as RealLife nightmare fuel, because Tenpenny and Pulaski are members of CRASH, the anti-gang task force that Los Angeles instituted in the 80s and 90's. Very little of their actions needed to be exaggerated, because based on testimony from former members and victims, this is basically how a lot of the CRASH officers behaved.

* The various creepy abandoned settlements in the deserts around Venturas. Imagine the nuclear test site from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' without mannequins.

* Catalina is a really disturbing AxCrazy person, especially in her dialogue, with some references to cannibalism and sadism. Not to mention when she rapes/tortures CJ.

*** Picture this: You hit a six-star wanted level a few minutes ago, and decide to head to the wildnerness to wait out the wanted level. You're driving around the woods in your car, when suddenly, and ''out of nowhere'', a Rhino Tank emerges from the trees, the soldier within hell-bent on seeing the charred wrecks of you and your car being crushed beneath the tank's wheels.

** There is a LetsPlay of San Andreas written in the POV of CJ, and his description of Toreno is not only nightmare fuel, but you can easily imagine that this is exactly what CJ is thinking. Toreno might look like a pudgy, middle aged white guy, but he is a killer far worse than anything you'll find on the streets of Los Santos. Toreno is a ''goverment agent'', an authority figure so far removed from CJ's social group that he might as well be from another planet, and he ends up pulling CJ into various goverment faction strifes, where he's forced to fight against CIA operatives doing their own little wars. Its disturbing because all you've ever fought for is Grove Street, your own little piece of Los Santos. Toreno? He's a '''shark,''' and you're an '''ameoba'''. You get a glimpse of some international horror ''far beyond your scope.''

** Then there's the wheelchair located in Fisher's Lagoon.

*** Not only is he far out of CJ's league, but to ''everyone else's as well.'' Suddenly all of those big time gangsters, Mob bosses, pimps, and other criminals look very ''puny'' compared to the kind of "work" that Toreno usually gets up to. Even the genuinely intimidating Pulaski and Tenpenny look like a pair of ''minimum wage mall cops'' when compared to a man like Toreno and the kind of '''power''' that he has.
