* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[spoiler: The scene of the wife turning into a gargoyle is probably one of the best transformations ever done with practical effects]], one could argue the effects are good enough to rival the transformation from ''Film/TheFly1986''. The following bit of her taking off through the roof of Preston's apartment however is achieved with some [[SpecialEffectFailure rough stop motion work]].

Zero Context Examples. Signature Scene is likely misuse, since it lists spoilers and, as explained in the trope page, "you shouldn't generally feel the urge to add more than one for a particular work yourself".


* SignatureScene: The most remembered scene in this movie is either [[spoiler:the cat doing an OrificeInvasion by jumping into a guy's mouth]], or [[spoiler:the human transformation into a gargoyle]], depending on which fan you ask.
* UglyCute: [[spoiler: The gargoyle-children after they lose their humanity alongside their mother.]]
