** People who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. The receptionist (a former beauty queen) still has open slits on her wrists, Juno has a slit throat, the "flattened man" is hinted to have thrown himself into traffic, and another man still dangles from the noose he used to hang himself. They're creepy enough; what must people who shot themselves in the head look like?

** People who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. The receptionist (a former beauty queen) still has open slits on her wrists, Juno has a slit throat, the "flattened man" is hinted to have thrown himself into traffic, traffic (he can't even move properly by himself and is hoisted around on a system of pulleys), several of the desk clerks are just skeletons, and another man still dangles from the noose he used to hang himself. They're creepy enough; what must people who shot themselves in the head look like?like? Really, the only reason this afterlife doesn't fall under AndIMustScream is because the dead don't seem to be in any pain.


Added DiffLines:

** In the original version of this scene, instead of the alien desert, Adam finds himself in a black void with giant clock parts appearing at random, implying that he's somehow outside time and space itself.

** Also, judging by her suddenly white hair and pale teal skin in BJ’s BadFuture vision, [[FridgeHorror it’s heavily implied that Lydia somehow]] ''[[FridgeHorror died]]'' [[FridgeHorror during that time.]]

*** In the touring production, Otho is instead put into a guillotine-like stockade, and executed by Delia after he derides her for being a flake. Doesn't make it any less frightening.

* The Maitlands' immediate situation after death, they arrived soaked without knowledge of how they returned, Barbara's fingers catch fire when she gets too close to the fireplace and when Adam attempts to retrace their steps, [[EldritchLocation he somehow emerges in an alien desert populated by a serpentine unknown creature that causes time to go much slower]]. Barbara pulls him back in time before the creature attacks him and shows that they have no reflection and are in fact ghosts. It's gradual and subtly scary [[DeadAllAlong revelation that they died]] and they're in a completely unknown situation.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcf227lWEek Betelgeuse Snake]], a serpentine version of Betelgeuse with an exaggerated version of his normal head complete with [[HellishPupils wide eyes with slit pupils]] especially that frighteningly creepy leer on his face when he corners Lydia. It even got referenced in the Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei series of games, as the boss enemy Echidna in ''Shin Megami Tensei 2''.
