** The whole burying Madeline alive thing. Scarier still is that this was a common enough thing back then, as medical knowledge wasn't that great.
** The 2006 Gruselkabinett radio version has her tortured screams of Roderick's name as she breaks out of the coffin.
** Also in the 2006 Gruselkabinett radio version: Philip gets left behind by Madeline at one point... in the darkness. In a crypt.
