** The fate of [[spoiler:Jebediah Morningside, who was by all appearances a kind, grandfatherly old man eager to hear all about Mike's interdimensional travels. Mike recognizes him and is too terrified to say anything. The last time he ever sees him, he walks through the gate and comes back out as the Tall Man. Even sadder is that if Mike just told him, [[ForWantOfANail then he could have possibly saved both him and the rest of the world]].]]

** The Tall Man himself was the original [[Franchise/{{TheSlenderManMythos}} inter-dimensional traveling demon in a suit]].
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The original may be a victim of this, since it predated and probably inspired a lot of [[TheEighties Eighties]] horror films.

** Ravager in general has a very somber feeling to it, being the absolute end of a series that spanned for nearly fifty years. Don Coscarelli and the actors really put their all into this finale, and you can tell that they really cared about the franchise. And knowing it was Angus Scrimms last time as the Tall Man due to his health can make any seen with the Tall Man feel sad, despite how terrifying of a presence he has.

** The ending of Ravager. Specifically, [[spoiler: the death of Reggie Bannister in one universe, dying of dementia with Mike and Jody staying with him until the very end, and then in another universe, being reunited with Mike and Jody and the three driving off together determined to continue fighting the Tall Man.]] It's not made clear if it's his [[spoiler: dying dream]] or not, but either way, it's a very BittersweetEnding that solidifies the [[TrueCompanions relationship]] between the three.

** The ending of Oblivion. [[spoiler: Mike is mortally wounded and lying on the ground, with Reggie promising to come back to him before chasing after the Tall Man. Dying alone, Mike then [[DyingDream dreams]] of when he was a child, driving with Reggie in the ice cream truck down the street in what was once a happier time]].
