* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be considered a much LighterAndSofter one to ''VideoGame/{{CarnEvil}}''.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Includes a gigantic jack-in-the-box robot made up of children's toys, an attack Sphinx tank on rails.

* ZergRush: Not as bad as the first game though it has a few areas where you can get swamped.

!!''Haunted Museum 2: Shh...! Welcome to [=FrightfearLand=]'' has the following tropes:

* LightGunGame: This is of the mounted gun variety whereas the first was more traditional.

''Haunted Museum'' (''Panic Museum'' in Japan) is a LightGunGame by Creator/{{Taito}}.

A sequel to the game followed called ''Haunted Museum II'' (aka ''Shh...! Welcome to Frightfearland'' for the American market). This time moving the setting to a supposedly abandoned amusement park where the agents are called to after 100 people go missing. Once more a sinister force has taken control of the park sending out monster clowns and bringing the attractions to life to attack them. As with the museum, with each section of the park beaten, a trinket appears on the clock in the middle of the park. Each must be collected before the final boss reveals him/itself.

** More generally, the individual wings aren't organized in any meaningful way, leading to what is apparently an exhibit on space combat in the warfare wing (, haniwa statues and totem poles in a room that's otherwise entirely Egyptian, and so on.

!! ''Shh Welcome to [=FrightfearLand=]'' has the following tropes:

* GoldenSnitch: Getting the good ending all depends on whether you can catch the falling ringmaster.

* RepulsiveRingmaster: The BigBad and owner of the carnival.

** More generally, the individual wings aren't organized in any meaningful way, leading to what is apparently an exhibit on space warfare in the aeronautics wing, haniwa statues and totem poles in a room that's otherwise entirely Egyptian, and so on.

!! ''Shh Welcome to [=FrightmareLand=]'' has the following tropes:

* DemBones: The boss for the haunted house stage is a gigantic skeleton.

* ItsAWonderfulFailure: [[spoiler: Fail to catch the ringmaster as he's falling and he manages to recover and turn the agents into monster clowns. Considering how small the target is to hit it (not to mention the screen shaking), you'll be seeing this ''a lot''.]]

* MadBomber: Some of the enemies chuck dynamite sticks at you.

* PlayingWithFire: Some of the clowns carry deadly flamethrowers.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler: After you defeat the Final Boss, you have one more task and that is to successfully shoot a hookshot (two of them for for 2 players) within 5 seconds. If you fail, you get a DownerEnding. Talk about all those tokens spent go to waste.]]
** [[spoiler: The Good Ending has one of the agent being spooked by a completely normal human wearing clown makeup to advertise fast food.]]

''Haunted Museum'' (''Panic Museum'' in Japan) is a LightGunGame by Creator/{{Taito}}. In it you play two agents who have come to investigate mysterious disappearances in a local museum. Though once they get inside they find that a supernatural force has a hold over the building, bringing the exhibits to life that are not shy about attacking them. If that wasn't enough, the exhibits have worlds of their own that transport the two into different settings no matter how implausible (such as space or underwater). With each world conquered, an orb falls into place on a monument in the lobby of the building. So the agents head out to find out who or what is exactly affecting the museum.

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler: In the good ending, after solving the mystery of the museum. The male agent asks what the next assignment is. Cue a dragon flying over the city.]]

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Natch.

* [[spoiler: AlienInvasion: The final boss of the game are aliens and their mothership. You have to shoot the core down within thirty seconds. Succeed and the aliens get arrested. Fail and the agents get abducted.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Can be considered a much LighterAndSofter one to ''VideoGame/{{CarnEvil}}''

Both games allow you to choose any stage that can be done in any order with mini games in between levels. The second games adds hostages to the mix (annoyingly) which must be saved and of course have HostageSpiritLink invoked. There are also different endings depending how well you do in the final battle.
