Line 29:
* Tsukishima of ''[[Bleach]]'' has abilities where he can {{spoiler|manipulate the memories of anyone he wants. He does this to by inserting himself into Ichigo's life and brainwashing his sisters and friends to think he is their cousin/long-time friend. When Ichigo freaks out and attacks Tsukishima, they think '''Ichigo''' is the one who's the bad guy.}} He does this all without [[Mind Rape|physically attacking or raising a hand]] against Ichigo.
* [http://youtu.be/loetcOWYfvA The Midnight Parasites], a 1972 Japanese animated short based on the paintings of [[Hieronymus Bosch]] with a weird psychedelic rock soundtrack.
* Pretty much every manga by Umezu Kazuo, notably ''[[The Drifting Classroom]]'' in which an entire elementary school is transported to a nightmarish [[After the End]] world, and ''Fourteen'', in which a humanoid chicken (named George) is leading Nature's revenge against the industrialized humanity.
* The works of [[Junji Ito]]. ''[[Uzumaki]]'' and ''[[Gyo]]'' are what happens when he crosses it with [[Body Horror]].

** The content of the video tape in [[The Ring]] is clearly a homage to this.

== Tabletop Roleplaying Games ==
* The game ''[[Normality]]'' embodies this trope, as it lacks a dice mechanic and largely consists of furious ranting at a world gone wrong.
* In ''[[Deadlands]]'', players may have to run through a session or two of this if they {{spoiler|die and come back harrowed}} or {{spoiler|travel through the Hunting Grounds}}.
