History NightmareFuel / Ghost1990

--->'''Sam:''' "''You're ''dead'', Willie.''"

* The Subway Ghost spends his afterlife aimlessly wandering around the subway station, endlessly sitting in a train as well as endlessly longing for a cigarette (which he is no longer capable of smoking because he doesn't have a body).

* [[TheGrimReaper The dark, hooded figures]] that [[DraggedOffToHell drag Willie and Carl's souls]] to {{Hell}}. [[HellIsThatNoise The horrific, guttural cries they make]] (created by slowing down recordings of babies crying) are chilling.

* Sam's double-dream where he "wakes up" from his "nightmare." He wants some comfort from Molly, so he pulls out the blankets to find the statue of an angel from earlier in the film. The statue then moves a little, as if it's staring at Sam, who screams of fright. The angel's forlorn-looking face doesn't help either. ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen In an earlier script]], it was [[DemBones Molly as a skeleton]].) And then Sam wakes up, and the angel statue falls from its rope and shatters on the pavement, which is very ominous.

** Just to set the stage a little, imagine you just died. You get up, and you realize you were crushed between two vehicles. As you're trying to process this, you hear someone call out "You're dead, Willie." You turn around and see the very man you yourself have murdered. Then suddenly, dark figures appear out of the shadows in mobs, grab you, and literally drag you away, leaving you with nothing but the most horrifying of implications. "Karmic Retribution" at its most terrifying, folks. Of course, a good person will never have to worry about this.

** The sad, scary state of the Subway Ghost's existence is really brought home by the end of the sequence he's in: He's initially lucid enough to teach Sam how to move physical objects, but when Sam starts asking about how he died, he gets paranoid, seemingly not remembering who Sam is anymore, and runs and jumps onto the train tracks in a panic, never to be seen again...[[FridgeLogic which was probably how he died in the first place]]. Even worse, whatever mental illness the poor man had in life is still affecting him as a ghost. If he did commit suicide, it means he killed himself to try and get rid of the torment in his mind - and ''it didn't work''.

* [[KickTheSonOfABitch Sam's torment of both Willie and Carl before they are killed]]. Evil as they are, their panic and fear at being attacked by an unseen force is so convincing that it's unsettling.

* Despite the BlackComedy moment of a
neighbor refusing to let them in, the sight of Oda Mae and her sisters desperately trying to find somewhere to hide before Willie and Carl catch them is truly nail-biting. Especially since they get inside not two seconds before they come upstairs.

* Carl threatening to kill Molly once he understands that Sam is tormenting him. Until this point, he hadn't tried to physically harm Molly. Now he's prepared to threaten her life if his demands are not met, [[KnifeNut wielding a knife]] and even trying to [[KillItWithFire set the apartment aflame]] when he [[SanitySlippage becomes unhinged]]. Even Sam, a ''ghost'', cannot challenge the otherwise defenseless man as he ''knows'' that Carl will follow through on it.

** With her ability, Oda Mae Brown likely got to [[SoundOnlyDeath hear, but not see]], Carl's screaming as he was whisked off to Hell.
