The Khmer Rouge (Khmer: ខ្មែរក្រហម) was an ultranationalist, "draconian, dictatorial and communist regime who wanted Cambodia to become isolated from the world after North Korea without foreign interests and influences, that was completely enforced by manipulations, emotional abuse and strictest disciplinarians in total. The Party Centre's ideology combined elements of Communism with a strongly xenophobic form of Khmer nationalism. Angkar’s characteristics—such as its focus on the rural peasantry rather than the urban proletariat as the bulwark of revolution, its emphasis on Great Leap Forward-type initiatives from China, its desire to abolish personal interest in human behaviour, its promotion of communal living and eating, and its focus on perceived common sense over technical knowledge—appear to have been heavily influenced by Maoist ideology; however, the Khmer Rouge displayed these characteristics in a more extreme form. The Khmer Rouge's economic policy, which was largely based on the plans of Saloth Sâr (Pol Pot), focused on the achievement of national self-reliance through an initial phase of agricultural collectivism. This would then be used as a route to achieve rapid social transformation and industrial and technological development without assistance from foreign powers, a process which the party characterised as a "Super Great Leap Forward". The native Cambodian Marxist–Leninists and the Maoist Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot established Democratic Kampuchea on 5 January 1976, a Marxist–Leninist state led by Angkar that featured class warfare to restructure the society of old Cambodia and to be effected and realised with the abolishment of money and private property, the outlawing of religion, the killing of the intelligentsia and compulsory manual labour as well as the upper and middle class citizens by the Khmer Rouge on the orders of Angkar which made Cambodia a state terrorism. To eliminate Western cultural influence, Cambodia expelled all foreigners and effected the destruction of the urban bourgeoisie of old Cambodia, first by displacing the population of the capital city, Phnom Penh; and then by displacing the national populace to work farmlands to increase food supplies. Meanwhile, the Khmer Rouge purged Cambodia of internal enemies (social class, political, cultural and ethnic minorities) at the Killing Fields and the security prison of Tuol Sleng (S-21) for the deaths of 2,700,000 people by mass murder and genocide which turned Cambodia into a wasteland. Democratic Kampuchea had transformed into a post-apocalyptic nation in the world due to its ongoing ethnic cleansing and non-stop purges, when Cambodia became a modern slave state.

The history and folklore of Supernatural horror are filled with accounts of individuals and events so brutal, macabre, or unexplained that they have become synonymous with "real-life" horror. These figures and periods, ranging from the 15th-century Romanian "dracula" to modern American serial killers and Haitian dictators like Papa Doc Duvalier, frequently intersect with tales of the supernatural, demonic possession, and profound evil. The stories of possession often involve violent, superhuman strength, speaking in tongues, and intimate knowledge of observers' sins. These are often rooted in deep-seated fears of the unknown. The use of Voodoo in political repression in Haiti created a lasting image of a "living dead" army, blurring the lines between political brutality and spiritual nightmare. A creature that terrorized the Gévaudan region of France, killing over 100 people. While often believed to be a wolf or wolf-dog hybrid, the sheer scale of the carnage led to rumors of a supernatural entity, a werewolf, or a creature sent by God. Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and Richard Ramirez are often discussed in the context of extreme evil, with some, particularly Ramirez (the "Night Stalker"), openly claiming influence from demonic forces. Charles Manson is another figure often associated with cult-like, apocalyptic evil.
