* [[The Rite of Spring]] is possibly the earliest example of both Ear Rape and Eye Rape working together. Made in 1913, when this ballet debuted the discordant music, disturbing jerking motions of the dancers, and bizarrely jarring sets caused the audience to boo within the first 15 minutes, then [http://www.cracked.com/article_19348_the-5-most-embarrassing-things-angry-mobs-have-rioted-over_p2.html riot before it was over]. This Ballet is only half an hour long.

* ''[[Irreversible]]'' is never particularly pleasant, but the ending elevates this up to an art form. The last minute or so is the screen flashing rapidly from black to white while a positively sickening sound plays. Even if you aren't epileptic, you will ''not'' be feeling great after the ending.
* Most [[Vanity Plate|production logos]] from the 1970s and early 1980s, particularly those by Viacom ("[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10LDTLjEPDM The V of Doom]"), Columbia/Screen Gems ("[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ7zZRud1B0 The S From Hell]"), and Paramount ("[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5fVJwc8hiE The Closet Killer]" or "The Peak of Fear"). The combination of bombastic synthesized jingles and symbols that seem to charge toward the screen caused no end of distress for young children, who still grit their teeth through the logos as adults. Fortunately, these logos were retired in favor of less frightening ones in the late 1980s. Paramount went one step further by replacing the Peak of Fear in its legacy series, first with a full color, computer-rendered mountain, then with the CBS Syndication logo. You actually have to hunt for a scary Paramount logo on television these days, and frankly, who would want to do that to themselves?
