* NightmareFuel: Tons. Despite its fairly cartoony style, you can't really expect less from a game with nearly 100 distinct very graphic ways to die.
** That puppet in the music room, who chokes you with his strings and pulls you offscreen. God, those ''eyes'' when he does it...
** The worms in the library, who, as graphically as the game's age rating will allow, ''burrow their way through Lance's abdomen and burst out of his back'', and all the while he's screaming and grunting in pain.
** The JackTheRipper-esque ghost in the bedroom, who can ''tear your face off''.
*** More like SLICE your face off.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The multitude of poses Lance goes through as he dodges Fritz's final onslaught of bullets.
** Fritz's [[OverlyLongGag LONG]] trek down the staircase. With everything he's put you through, the whole sequence is just plain beautiful.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome[=/=]SceneryPorn: The confrontation scene [[spoiler:with Neurosis]] has only small lights lined up in a row that light up the total blackness in the room. Add a bit of the GratuitousDiscoSequence with MoreDakka [[spoiler:from Fritz]] that lights up the scenery, and the whole thing is just awesome indeed. Whoever thought up a final confrontation to be a whole disco that takes place ''entirely in the dark'' should be very proud of themselves, like something that only Creator/QuentinTarantino would think up.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The whole final battle sequence that takes place ''[[EvilIsNotWellLit entirely in the dark]]!'' Combine that with TiredOfRunning, MoreDakka, a BadassArmFold, a TakeThatKiss, dance moves, and some SugarWiki/FunnyMoments, as well as [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Pre-Asskicking]][=/=][[PreMortemOneLiner Pre-Mortem One-Liners]], and you've got yourself one TRUE Moment of Awesome! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yANgcOjvtM8 This video]] explains it all.
** One badass Moment of Awesome near the end of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0LPEbjisWI Vivi's Salon]] sequence, when Lance makes a badass BondOneLiner to her:
--->'''Lance:''' Hey, Viv! I'll take a rain check on that bite!

** Also, most of the resurrection scenes, such as floor panel lights that make Lance reappear if he dies during the dark disco sequence; the lightning bolts that bring him back if he dies during Moose's sequence; and the aforementioned "flames of rebirth" scene.

Added \"Hilarious in Hindsight\".


* SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}: One 'death' involving a bat flying down and assailing Lance has said bat snatching Lance with its wings, 'hugging' him and playfully chewing on his head while Lance gives it a slightly irritated look. After seeing Lance get torn apart in so many comedic ways, something about a creature not actually killing him and simply annoying him is strangely adorable and unexpected.

Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: At one time in the confrontation scene in the long stairway, Fritz kills Lance by [[FlayingAlive scalping him]] with {{an axe|ToGrind}} and ''[[GenuineHumanHide using said scalp as a hat]]!'' It's pretty gross, but believe us, Fritz is no VideoGame/{{Kirby|SuperStar}}.

* FauxSymbolism: One of the resurrection scenes (in case Lance's body gets lost or destroyed upon his death) shows the "fires of rebirth" reform Lance's body and restore him to life. This is a bit strange, as it is kind of reminiscent of ThePhoenix, which is an ancient and well known symbol of death and rebirth and portrayed as a magical bird made of living flames; the story says that when a Phoenix reaches the end of its life, it would make a cinnamon stick nest and self-immolate itself with fire, and from the ashes a new Phoenix is reborn. This could explain the "fiery" resurrection scene that Lance, like a Phoenix, can rise from the ashes of defeat and start over. Weird.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It's a game where the protagonist gets to die in all sorts of graphically violent ways has made it extremely hard to understand why this was given a K-A rating then. (Some could argue that "it's because it looks so silly" but many of the deaths were not exactly all that light nevertheless so in other words the fact that this game was given a K-A rating might be considered to be really... baffling to put it mildly.)

Added another Heartwarming Moment.

Added DiffLines:

** The death scene in the main entryway. After Fritz kills Lance by pouncing on him from above, tackling him into the dirt and into unseen death, emerging from the hole and burying him, he does something nice: planting a flower on Lance's new grave. After many gruesome deaths inflicted by Fritz, this scene is actually heartwarming. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElPCERAew6o Frankomatic]] of LetsPlay/ObscureGameTheatre says it all:
-->"At least he's nice enough to plant a flower on your grave."

** The [=iPhone=] port thankfully averts this by ramping up the rating to a 12+, which could be an equivalent of either a "Teen" or an "Everyone 10+" rating.
