* WarningSong: When Max tries to go into the {{Haunted House}}'s basement (because the door says there's a phone down there, and he wants to call someone), a lizard man [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes out of nowhere and sings the number "Don't Go Into the Basement"]], which is all about the lizard ordering Max to stay out of the basement for vague reasons. At the end, we learn that the basement contains [[spoiler:a train to Hell]].

* AmbiguouslyEvil: The lizard who sings "Don't Go Into the Basement." He does a lot of evil-looking grins and other behaviors suggesting that he's up to something, and the song has all the creepy flair of a typical VillainSong... but he doesn't seem to do anything evil other than tell Max to stay out of the basement, and then [[spoiler:say uh-uh at the end, when Max and Gluey go into the basement and take the train to Miami Beach]].
