* ValuesResonance: ''Ghosts of Camp Massacre'' has the protagonist discovering that a fictional supposed American hero actually brutally massacred a tribe of Native Americans, and when she tries to tell others about, they shrug it off as they were thought he was a heroic figure and he even has a statue in his honor. The themes of history not being what you were taught it was is still quite relevant to this day.

* FridgeLogic: What exactly were the father and daughter doing before St. Luc entered the room? The film makes it seem as though they were just silently sitting perfectly still in the dark before St. Luc came in, and only then did they start acting out. If so, why?

--> "Alas, I never gave it to him."

* ValuesDissonance: As a result of the sex parasites, men start making out with other men and women start making out with other women. Given that it's set in the more conservative 1970s[[note]]Remember, the "sexual revolution" of the 1960s didn't exactly filter through to most layers of society immediately[[/note]], this was ''probably'' intended to be seen as people losing all rational inhibitions. Nowadays, putting homosexuality on the same level as incest or pedophilia would be incredibly insulting. On the other hand, that's ''entirely'' the point since Nick is depicted as a brutish DesignatedHero.

* AwesomeMusic: The 5 songs from the sequel's fictional band, Trip Cyclone.

** The sequel is just as scary, if not worse. Instead of a museum, you're in an abandoned ''town'', with the only other people in the area being the motel's jerk of an owner, and Darkcloud, the game's main antagonist.

* RetroactiveRecognition: [=YouTuber=] and former Sierra employee [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEFymXY4eFCo_AchSpxwyrg MetalJesusRocks]] appears in the sequel as one of the band members of Trip Cyclone.

* HellIsThatNoise: The music was one of the scariest parts of the game. The second game also uses some highly questionable noises as music for several locations.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUBC5xB8FfU&feature=endscreen&NR=1 The music that plays whenever you are near an ixupi.]]
** ContinuityNod: In fact, some of those noises reproduce the melodies of several tunes from the first game, or ARE tunes from the first game after having been worked over with a sledgehammer. This might be FridgeHorror for players of the first game.

* AwesomeMusic: The second disc of Shivers 2 doubles as an audio CD, containing 5 songs from the game's fictional band, Trip Cyclone.

* NightmareFuel: The entire game - surprisingly effective for a point-and-click adventure rather than more traditional action-oriented SurvivalHorror. The realisation of what you're about to find in the hollow lion [[spoiler:(it's Merrick's body)]] as you stand directly in front of it reading the final diary entry is a good example; as is the music, particularly the track which incorporates a woman's anguished screams and her repeated cries of "Help me!" into the score.
