History NightmareFuel / ResidentEvil4Remake

** If Leon dies around her, Ashley screams his name, knowing that all hope is lost for her.

* Another detail that comes with a healthy dose of FridgeHorror: The actual livestock in the ganados farms are a contrast of differences. The cattle are all incredibly emancipated, looking like they're one meal away from just dropping dead of starvation. The pigs on the other hand, are all clearly well fed, and even aggressive, as they will attack Leon if they get agitated. And then you'll notice a giant stack of bones on the farm, and it becomes clear [[FedToPigs why the pigs are well fed]].

** One of the cruelest changes is that the game doesn't give you the bioscope (called the infrared scope in the original) until later in the lab section, whereas the original gave it to you before you had to fight any of them. This means you'll have to fight or evade two Regenerators while running back and forth to switch the power. And in the room you do get the bioscope, you'll have Ganados and a potential of ''four Regenerators being active at once'' if you're unlucky enough to shoot the tanks containing them...and you have to kill them because you need a wrench stuck inside one of the freakish beasts. Thanks for the nightmares, Capcom.

* The post credits scene of the game reveals the return of Albert Wesker, who coldly explains Ada his plan to kill billions of innocent people to achieve his goal of world domination. Thankfully, Ada rejects Wesker's plans, but that's not to say his plans are necessarily foiled...

* Genevieve Buechner takes all Ashley's voice clips from the original game and spins them something far more horrifying than the infamously annoying voice clips in the original. All of Ashley's screams, struggling grunts, and her screams for Leon are genuinely horrifying to hear this time around.
** If Leon dies around her, Ashley screams in horror, and screams his name, knowing that all hope is lost for her.

* One of the sidequests involve having to take out a Colmillo, although much of it is just catching glimpses of it in the early chapters.
** Right before the house siege, Leon can encounter the infected wolf so as long he's investigated sightings of it, but this Colmillo isn't like the other Colmillos. ''This'' wolf is about twice the size of the regular Colmillos, more faster and aggressive, and it can also extend out ''four'' Plagas tentacles. Flash grenades can do a good deal of damage against it, but only if timed right where the wolf didn't dodge or is out of range.

* The altar is an unsettling sight to behold, there are three sitting cultists worshipping the one on the middle whose plaga had already bursted out of the host's head. All four of these cultists are dead, and the figure on the middle is in a state of decay, but embalmed like a mummy. It highlights the horrifying nature of a religion centered entirely on a parasitic being.

** Their introduction is absolutely pants shitting. You enter a hidden dungeon where you hear horrible screaming. Yes, it's awake this time. You go to explore the dungeon for a way out only to drop through the floor... right in front of the Garrador, getting a close-up of its horrid face, with unnaturally huge teeth and sewn shut eyes. Luckily, it's restrained. Until it breaks free its restraints in its anger as you try to leave.

** The parasite on its back is far more gruesome this time. Instead of just being a weird crab thing on its back, the Garrador's parasite has clearly burrowed through its back, with visible gore from this process.

* Near the end of the chapter, Ashley begins to feel ill and momentarily passes out in Leon's arms...and suddenly steals his knife and tries to stab him with it. Leon tries to stop Ashley, only for her to hold his knife to her throat and walk backwards until the gate falls and separates the two. During this sequence, she speaks in a low voice and smiles eerily as the Plagas inside her take control.

--->'''Ashley''': (while possessed) Instead of worrying about the girl...worry about your own SKIN! Foolish little lamb! Temperance child!

* Ramon Salazar. Thanks to visual upgrades, he is no longer an annoying BrattyHalfPint exchanging quips with Leon. But an incredibly creepy and sadistic aristocrat whose body is visibly rotting and decaying thanks to Las Plagas.

* Ashley's playable segment when she's separated from Leon, and her section is a bit more cramped at places. The only things she's armed with in the remake is a blue-light lantern that can temporarily freeze the Armaduras (Plagas hiding in suits of armor) in place, unlike the flammable lanterns that she could throw at the zealots chasing after her in the original and quick-time events. She has to go through a library maze in the dark, tight staircases with little room to move about, and then a mausoleum to find the Salazar family crest, all the while having to dodge Armaduras trying to split her in half with 6-foot-long two-handed swords along the way. Even worse, once she solves the puzzle to get the crest, the lantern goes out, forcing her to sprint for the exit ''without'' the lantern while the Armaduras are chasing after her.
