* Accept the Chaos, an in-game internet site of an atheist (more like NayTheist) movement. One of the pictures in the site is "Click to Play God" and it involves a whole family graphically and literally torn apart by a speeding car. It's probably the only instance DeathOfAChild is graphically depicted in the whole GTA game.

* The scene where Trevor murders Debra. The actual murder [[NothingIsScarier isn't]] [[GoryDiscretionShot shown]], but Trevor is covered in blood and the apartment windows are smeared with it. Whatever he did, it was ''messy.''

* The ocean floor is absolutely filled with shipwrecks and plane crashes, including the remains of a nuclear submarine and even an entire cargo ship. The only thing more disturbing than seeing these mangled hulks through the hazy waters is the implication that nobody even ‘’bothered’’ to dredge or salvage these wrecks despite being so close to the surface.

* '''Trevor. Fucking. Philips'''. For starters, he's an extremely deranged maniac who commits all sorts of horrific crimes for no reason other than [[ForTheEvulz for the fun of it]] and [[CardCarryingVillain utterly revels in his villainy]]. While he mostly balances that out with BlackComedy, even that doesn't stop him from being NightmareFuelStationAttendant extraordinaire. When he [[AxCrazy goes berserk]] though, it's an absolutely horrifying sight to behold both from the player's perspective as well as the perspective of his victims. To put it mildly, he's GTA's own version of [[VideoGame/FarCry3 Vaas Montenegro]].

** On top of all of this, one detail that makes the entire experience more unnerving than it already is to begin with is Haines' cheerful and nonchalant attitude with Mr. K's torture as he takes a disturbingly sadistic delight in it. When they're finished, he casually orders Trevor to kill him and departs to go play racquetball. It hammers in what an utter sociopath Haines really is.

* Speaking of bounties, they can happen out of nowhere. Just jacked a parked car and drove off? You'll get a threat from the car's owner demanding you're going to be dead 30 seconds later. Not even subduing the owner of a car will stop the text from happening. However, if you're in passive mode, this won't happen and you can still rob cars.

* The show ''Kung Fu Rainbow Lazer Force'', a [[TheMoralSubstitute evangelical Christian]] parody of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has a scene where the team encounters a teenage couple who they claim have "unnatural desires". When the team proceeds to mock the asthmatic boyfriend in the relationship, they discover the boy has a picture of theArt/VenusDeMilo on his phone, which the team considers "amputee pornography", and end up killing him (with a heavy amount of {{Gorn}} too to save the girlfriend. It doesn't stop the girlfriend from having a mental breakdown and end up meeting the exact same fate as her lover. To think of it, it crosses the border of {{Squick}} and can come off as unsettling, even for the fact that the show is a parody of extreme conservative values.

* The opening to the mission "Fame or Shame" sees Trevor reunite with Michael, and it's a very tense reunion. As soon as Trevor walks in, everyone present goes dead silent, as they know Trevor could blow his stack and go on a rampage at any moment. Michael even [[PapaWolf instinctively pushes Jimmy behind him to protect him]].

** For added horror, [[http://imgur.com/a/FhY2m try crashing a plane in the ocean with the invincibility cheat turned on.]] But if you get down deep enough (as in, at the point where your boat or plane stalls and sinks into the ocean), not even invincibility will save you - you ''will'' die. While it's most likely due to technical limitations, it really sells just how terrifyingly ''deep'' [[TruthInTelevision the ocean really is.]] The guy who crashed the plane with invincibility on just above? It got so dark and deep he was legitimately ''terrified'' and bailed from the plane to get back to shore.
