7	* The video for "Bad Romance". It ends with Lady Gaga laying next to a charred corpse.
8	** The parts of the video where you notice her eyes have been [[UnintentionalUncannyValley unsettlingly]] enlarged by CGI.
9	* ''"Paparazzi"''. In the music video, she's knocked down from a balcony after a rather frightening fight. ''And that's just the beginning.''
10	** The violently murdered model corpses that are shown in quick flashes, particularly the one wrapped in a bag with her limbs all broken, and the one hanging from the ceiling.
11	* There's a reason they call it the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnIt3mr9rJw Monster Ball]].
12	* The part in the "Telephone" video where her head moves... oddly.
13	** Also from ''Telephone'', the mass poisoning. Creator/QuentinTarantino was a major inspiration for this video, and it shows.
14	* The ''whole'' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niqrrmev4mA Alejandro]]" video.
15	** Special mention for the final few seconds of the video, in which a slow close-up on Gaga's face rapidly distorts into a film-burn effect that stretches [[EyeScream her eyes into glowing white holes]] and [[GlasgowGrin her mouth into a huge spreading grin]].
16	* Pictured here, the [[http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Born-This-Way-Album-Cover-Lady-Gaga.jpg official cover art]] for ''Born This Way.'' Apparently she's a half-motorcycle, half-human hybrid.
17	* Some people find the skeletal/zombie makeup in "Born This Way" to be unsettling.
18	* From the ''Born This Way'' album: "Government Hooker" and "Bloody Mary" are a touch unsettling. The latter mainly because of the warped effects on her voice, not to mention the ''random screams.''
19	* [[http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Lady-Gaga-Bad-Romance-Cover-Photo.bmp The cover for "Bad Romance"]] is just incredibly creepy looking.
20	* For a non-''Monster'' could even her metal yells in her live shows and calling her own fans ''motherfuckers'' and that she'll "kick their asses" and they better get their guns out" are very scary if you're not part of her ''Monster'' pack.
21	* Three words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYFuwKfd2EA Judas Goldfrapp Remix]].
22	* Lady Gaga's head on a goose's body in the "Applause" music video.
23	** Repeated again in the "G.U.Y." video but with a LEGO sculpture.
24	* Her [[WhatCouldHaveBeen scrapped]] music video for "Do What U Want" was going to be this, featuring scenes of Gaga as a hospital patient [[RealitySubtext suffering from a aching hip]], naked under a sheet and being drugged by a doctor played by R.Kelly (who tells her [[DudeShesLikeInAComa she will "wake up pregnant" while fondling her]]), and featuring artwork by Terry Richardson, who has been accused ''multiple'' times of exploiting and raping his female models. Doubles as FetishRetardant and HarsherInHindsight due to R. Kelly's own controversies of rape and sex trafficking towards other women (which Gaga was not aware of at the time). Many said that the video was scrapped because it was literally 'an ad for rape'.
25	* "Bloody Mary", especially the screams.
26	%%* The fact that Gaga will be appearing on season 5 of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'', playing a glamourous but vengeful vampire queen.
27	* The somber, brutally realistic music video for "Til It Happens To You" features several graphic depictions of rape occurring on a college campus.
28	** Hell, the song itself! Never before has a rape survivor's story made the listener feel like it's happened to them before.
29	* TheReveal in "911" [[spoiler:that the entire video was Gaga's [[AdventuresInComaland near-death induced hallucination]]. In the real world, she was involved in a bicycle-car accident, and the people in the video represent the paramedics, the other injured, and bystanders. Her screams of pain and terror when she is revived through defibrillation are disturbingly realistic.]] Bonus points for it being heavily foreshadowed throughout the video, meriting a RewatchBonus.
