Going too far?

When the police arrive at your door...;3

Otherwise, it's another iteration of 'know your audience'

(i've noticed there seem to be 'horror norms' that are different among different cultures -- Americans seem to find violence ok compared to sexual themes, British have an ingrained pessimistic streak and are ok with ambiguity, violating social order is horror in Japan, taking Mohammad's image is horror to some people...)

There is always the possibility of consequences as well; there are people (and internet 'tribes') who have and will go 'after' people if their particular 'horrors' are tripped...children in certain circumstances, rape, holding one group of people above all others, stuff like that...in ye olde times, people got burned at the stake for tweaking someone's horrors...

i'm getting flashbacks to the days when this one GM i knew (who people would PAY to be in his games -- i guess they were Maschochists) would regularly pull stuff like:

-- when sheathing your pointed stick, DEX roll or cut off your leg

-- you enter a room with a chest in the far wall. there are flies buzzing around. each fly does 1/8 or so of a hp per round, but there are thousands of flies...

and other crazy stuff

Not really house rules but:

Coc & Chartmaster: use the Resistance Table for everything. For CoC, 'Damage Taken' becomes a Potency against HP to 'survive'.

not everybody gets to be part of the RPPR crew -- there is a detailed and grueling filtering, hazing & interview process to be even considered RPPR material (just imagine what poor Aaron was like BEFORE...tsk tsk...)
