* NarmCharm: That being said the above mentioned {{Narm}} contributes to the game being wonderfully campy to many people; and really gives it the "70's B-Movie" charm that has made the mod so timeless.

* DemonicSpiders: Zombie cops. Due to them being enemy Barnies, they are freakishly accurate with their shots (also made worse by the fact that the player has no armor) and also wear armor and helmets, making them quite bullet-spongy. And they're also some of the most frequently encountered enemies in the trilogy.
** Soldiers as well, thanks to the aforementioned lack of armor, and confined spaces you tend to fight them in.

* NightmareFuel{{Narm}}: It's no VideoGame/ResidentEvil level of Narm, but there's still enough to generally detract from the horror element. This is particularly prominent in the later episodes, where it ditches the SurvivalHorror of the first episode and go for B-Movie parody.
* NightmareFuel: The original ''Half-Life'' already had a lot of scary moments, but ''They Hunger'' is straight up SurvivalHorror, with hordes of zombies and barely enough health and ammo to deal with even half the horde, often forcing you to rely on the [[EmergencyWeapon Umbrella]], of all things.
* NightmareRetardant:
** The standard zombies - they're meant to look malformed and drained of blood, but their pale faces and obvious lips instead make it look like they're wearing clown makeup.
** The Headcrabs as well, who are meant to be decapitated zombie heads but instead look like slightly recolored standard Headcrabs. Later revisions of the game managed to fix this by making them far creepier zombie heads on spider legs.

** The replacement for Headcrabs in the game are the decapitated heads of zombies, but basically boil down to a Headcrab with a face on top of it.
