Moral Event Horizon: For most of the short, Hugh is a bully who scares other into working for him, but he undoubtably goes too far when he starts assaulting Daphne and nearly kills both of them.
Nightmare Fuel: Mr. Hugh's soul being taken away by the ghostly organist, who rises out of the orchestra pit and, presumably, takes him to hell.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Excellent character animation, especially on the dogs, which were mere inches high, making them notoriously difficult to animate. There's also the double-exposure on Mr. Hugh's ghost coming out of his body and walking over to the organist.
