* Henry succeeding in giving life to the monster. His ecstatic shouting of "IT'S ALIVE!" and claim of "Now I know what it feels like to ''be'' God!" says it all.
* After suffering from Fritz abuse one time too many. Watching the Monster finally fight back and take the man's whip from him... [[NightmareFuel before killing him with it]].
* The final battle at the top of the Windmill.
