History NightmareFuel / CarnEvil

* When Evil Marie is defeated, she gets [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaled]] on the spire of a fountain. Her blood is seen flowing into the water, turning it red as the screen fades to black. Especially worth noting, as this is the only boss not counting Tökkentäkker himself to feature the camera showing different shots of the death to maximize its horror.

*** A "fly trap" chamber whose floor collapses to reveal a soup of rotting flesh beneath.

* The rides in Rickety Town are dangerous. The "Slay Ride" roller coaster is unfinished and includes giant Christmas wreaths set on fire, so it's definitely true to its name. One of the seats in the "Dino-Rama" tilt-a-whirl flies right off the platform, and in the "Garage", the bumper car crashes into the wall, sending the players right through. And in case no one has noticed, none of the rides have any seatbelts or safety harnesses. In short? AdultFear at its finest.

** Special mention goes to the kitchen, which is easily one of--if not ''the''--most disturbing section in the manor. You'll notice the human carcasses being butchered by the zombies...and then you might remember that the protagonist and Betty were part of a tour group in the prologue. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Whatever happened to them]], [[FridgeHorror hmm?]]

* The ending of the game. The heroes manage to beat Tökkentäkker and send [=CarnEvil=] back to the underworld, just barely surviving a fall from an exploding Zeppelin. They wake up, its daytime and they're back in front of Tökkentäkker's grave. [[spoiler: There's a sudden clatter, and a new token is dispensed. Our hero picks it up, obviously considering it for a moment...and then, despite Betty's pleas, he ''[[OhNoNotAgain promptly inserts it into the Umlaut statue's mouth!]]'' The game ends on Umlaut's eyes opening as the screen darkens, his evil laughter rising above Betty's scream of terror.]]

* The horrific boss fight with Junior, a gigantic infantile FrankensteinsMonster that chases you around a huge playpen/arena, complete with giant toys, while a very eerie version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" plays. The only way to finish it off turns out to be having to shoot it so that it stumbles back into the crib-like "lightning bed" that revived it--the electrical discharge turns Junior into a huge lump of charcoal, and the head rolls off. It's so disturbing, Midway [[AdjustableCensorship included an option to replace Junior with a somewhat less disturbing boss]]--a huge and demonic [[KillerTeddyBear teddy bear monster]], appropriately-named Deaddy.

* The "Freak Show" level ''alone'' qualifies. It features several different types of enemies, all of which represent some kind of BodyHorror. This includes flies and maggots with human faces, twin brothers attached at the waist (that wear demented grins and give off a WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}-esque "hilk-hilk" laugh when shot to death), and severely tortured sadomasochistic inmates whose eyes have been clamped open and their faces set in terrible rictus grins.

* On a similar note, the music coming from "Big Bunyan Ride." While it's a [[EarWorm catchy song,]] it reaffirms that this carnival has so much animosity for you that it will take any opportunity to express its desire to see you killed.

''VideoGame/CarnEvil'' is supposed to be taking place in a CircusOfFear. You'd better believe there's NightmareFuel.

** In a nice nod to supernatural slasher films, you get chased through the Haunted House by Hambone. He's a huge burned man in overalls, wearing a [[Franchise/FridayThe13th hockey mask]], and has a ''gatling gun for a hand''. Hambone appears to chase you after crashing one of the attraction's cars, charging in after you [[IncendiaryExponent while on fire]]. There is literally no way to shoot him down before he mauls the players, with him unloading a storm of bullets in your direction. Even when he goes down, he'll be back a little later in the House titled as "Hambone the Revenge", and with a new gun that fires exploding skulls that are also on fire.

*** [[TortureCellar Chamber of Horrors]], showcasing the worst of the Medeival era. Seriously, who would include a ''torture chamber'' in a freak show?!

* Even the mooks that ''aren't'' straight-up zombies, like the Flapjack acrobats and the gas station attendants, remain drop-dead horrifying--they keep on flashing those frozen, goofy grins even after you've blown half their heads off and severed their limbs. You can even shoot their bodies [[StrippedToTheBone down to the bone]] or blast them to pieces.
