History Characters / SpookysJumpScareMansion

* WasOnceAMan: It's all but outright stated that it was the Merchant from the story.

* CuteMonsterGirl: [[WordOfGod Akuma Kira]] stated they got tired of making scary monsters, so they created a being that is cute instead. ''Don't'' take her lightly because of this, though.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7XUBGYwHQk Someone's Playing on the Hooks]]", a quiet, ominous tune utilizing piano notes and ambience.
** It has a second theme entitled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXbBPSDCPJM I'm Hooked On You]]", a similarly quiet tune relying on ambience, low chiptune and what sounds like [[ParanoiaFuel breathing]]. The theme is used for its Endless Mode encounter in the HD Renovation.

* TakeThat: Fans kept pestering the creators to add a ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' monster. They complied, then made it suck out of spite.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As usual for it. Specifically, during its death screen sequence where it hangs the protagonist and sets your username on them. [[spoiler:And even a bit later, by replacing Spooky's face on the main menu]].

* InterfaceScrew: Looking at it causes static to show up, giving you a clue to look away.

** Second is a track simply called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBLi9Y145kM Charles]]", a static-y sounding tune accompanied by an ominous piano track, used for his Endless Mode chase.

A floating BigRedDevil with red skin, yellow horns and claws, and bleeding eye sockets with no eyes. The Specimen takes its domain in a fast food restaurant that praises itself on its beef. It's a very violent creature that has the power to [[DeaderThanDead eliminate one's soul completely]], notable for being one of the few Specimens that Spooky and GL Labs have found impossible to contain and undesirable to deal with test subjects precisely for the previously-mentioned method. It also has the power to make doors disappear when it is chasing the player and send them to an alternate dimension when it kills them, which seems to be made of meat and consisting of a single twisting hallway that leads to Specimen 11, which then triggers its death screen. It replaces Specimen 4 as a candidate for banishment through the Hellgate in the Dollhouse DLC in ''HD Renovation''.

->''"I know what you have done, and what you have yet to do. But it's alright, because I'm inside you now. We are one but I am many..."''

* {{Expy}}: Of the Lub-Glub monsters from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.

->''"Once, in a land of dreams, I thought I could be free. But now, the hunger never sleeps."''

* {{Expy}}: Inspired by all of the spider bosses and other [[AnimalisticAbomination insectoid horrors]] from the ''[[Franchise/ResidentEvil Resident Evil]]'' series.

* HaveANiceDeath: It went without one for a long time, being one out of two main-game Specimens without one. ''HD Renovation'' finally gave it a death screen, where it's revealed that there are more Specimen 3 creatures out there, with text reading as follows as they eat the player alive:

->''"Hush, my child, you're safe now..."''

\\

-->''"Hush now my child, you're safe..."''

->''"Tiny, Shining holes in the sky. Delicate, perfect emptiness. Black, growing absences of life. Cold, swarming death. And we shall become them."''

->''"To become a puppet is to rid oneself of the pain and harshness of choice. Now nothing you do is your fault, now you belong to something... You belong to me..."''

->''[[MadnessMantra TAKE THE DEAD TO TAKE THE DEAD TO TAKE THE DEAD TO TAKE THE DEAD TO]]''

\\

->''"Now you have nothing to fear. Now you have nothing to think. Follow your selfish desires. Follow your natural instinct. After all you're just an animal. It's much easier than trying to think."''

->''"I'm taking all those logs they keep throwing out... and I'm nailing them together."''

->''"Dark worms scream inside my brain. Begging me to eat again. Hearts, and blood, and bile, and soil. I must consume to end turmoil."''

->''"Don't get up before Saturday".''

-->''"You think you're clever, don't you?"''\\
''"I've been watching you for a while now."''\\
''"Why even bother filling your lungs?"''\\
''"Your blood smells so thick. I can hear the vessels oozing."''\\
''"Do you feel safe?"''\\
''"Reading these won't help you. Only death can help you."''

* AndIMustScream: It's implied that this is the fate that awaits the player character if they are killed in the house. The game over message is "Your soul wanders an endless maze." Specimen 11's [=CAT-DOS=] entry makes it clear that this isn't an exaggeration.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Canonically, the protagonist of the main story is doomed to become the last ghost in Spooky's army. The protagonist of Karamari/ Doll House has a better fate. After everything that happened before, the GoldenEnding of Spooky's Dollhouse has the new protagonist shut the Hellgate and put all the spirits within - Spooky's included - to rest, while finally being able to leave the mansion.]]

* CameBackWrong: It’s implied that [[spoiler:her father tried to resurrect her after her tragic death, resulting in her [[TheSociopath current personality]]]].

* ExactWords: At room 750 she decides to "congratulate" the player for making it this far by giving them "unlimited stamina that will never run out", by taking away your ability to run. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as swinging your ax shows that you really do have unlimited stamina, just that she took away the primary use for it.

* HiddenInPlainSight: It's [[JustForPun hanging]] in the room that holds the Isolation Room key.

* {{Ectoplasm}}: What its presumably made of, since its referred to as a "[[OurGhostsAreDifferent specter]]" in its CAT-DOS entry.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: GL Labs is modeled after the ''Website/SCPFoundation'', being a secretive organization run by a non-human entity who seeks out and captures strange entities that could potentially pose a threat to humanity, then studies them to try and discover how they work, and sends out poor souls to be victimized by the entities as part of the experiments. But while the Foundation at least wants to protect humanity from the entities and uses convicted criminals as guinea pigs, GL Labs is a NebulousEvilOrganization that aims to ''weaponize'' the entities and use them to [[spoiler:TakeOverTheWorld]], while luring innocent people to the mansion and using them as subjects.

* {{Mook}}: The most common enemy in the Dollhouse, and thankfully easy to kill with the axe.

* {{Expy}}: Both it and the area it appears in is a reference to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', as well as [[WebVideo/BenDrowned a certain creepypasta about it]]. It also uses similar mechanics to [[VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach SCP 173]].

** Considering how it takes you away to a dimensional labyrinth, it could be considered an expy of SCP-106.

* LaughablyEvil: Spooky may be the orchestrater of the much more genuinely horrific things in the manner, but she’s so snarky, adorable, and laid back, you’d probably forget that.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: It feasts on whales from the inside out. It also subjects its victims to this once they're too weak by drowning them.

* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://soundcloud.com/akuma-kira/something-in-the-water?in=akuma-kira/sets/spookys-ost Something In The Water]]". A slow, serene track that is none-the-less quite disturbing.

* NightmareFace: Her true face is an ugly grimace with empty eyesockets and sharp, jagged teeth in a wide grin.

* TookALevelInBadass: Its AI improved significantly in the Halloween Update, making her circle the crates the player is on top of, as well as being able to use grates on her special rooms to catch up faster. This added on top of the fact she can now re-chase the player multiple times, outdoing Specimen 7 in that regard.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: She keeps her back to the player, and is naked except for a towel covering her butt in the original game.

* GivenNameReveal: Spooky's Dollhouse reveals the name of the mother on her tombstone; Monica. She died in 1968, a while after World War II ended. This ends up being a very subtle hint at what really happened one faithful Halloween night.
