History NightmareFuel / LaMulana

* In the remake, solving Eden's sole puzzle. Which dissolves the UncannyAtmosphere and reveals the Eden's true nature as the Confusion Gate / Gate of Illusion, along with a high-pitched scream as the area's true colors come into view.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV8hSBx1L9o music]] of the Gate of Illusion. ''Especially'' when you activate the Tree of Eden -- dispelling the Eden illusion, revealing the true nature of the Gate of Illusion, ''and'' hear a particularly loud form of the sacrificial maidens' scream!
* The Mother's third form in the original game. A giant, pale-faced version of the Virgin Mary who rains crosses and {{tears of blood}} that explode into walls of flame. Also, it's holding ''a skeletal baby''.
** In the remake, said baby fights alongside the ghastly skeletal version of Mother's second form by firing a laser beam at you!

* Tiamat in the original. She has [[NightmareFace a very creepy and distorted facial expression]] when doing a certain attack, and another one after losing a certain amount of health. If she kills you, this SlasherSmile tends to be the last thing you'll see before the GameOver screen...
** In the remake, she slowly loses her composure as you attack her, eventually devolving into a wide-eyed monster delivering a ''chilling'' smile down at you.
** Tiamat in the remake in general is frightening, from her entrance, looming over you with glowing eyes, and striking with destructive, hard-to-avoid attacks that rip through your health like paper.
* Around the end of the original game's secret [[VideoGame/KnightmareIITheMazeOfGalious Maze of Galious]] area, the game reunites fans of the game that inspired ''La-Mulana'' with [[DemBones the Bony Dragon]], the boss of World 1, except he's wearing pajamas -- ''made from'' '''''human skin'''''.
* The remake's Shrine of the Mother looks utterly grisly. Skeletons hang from walls, there are entire shelves of bones, and the place is littered with skull walls and crush traps. It's implied that the skeletons are former life forms that tried to bring Mother back into the sky and [[YouHaveFailedMe failed]]; had Lemeza not come along to put Mother out of her misery, humanity as we know it could've joined them. The Shrine after being transformed isn't much better: The place is wrecked and there are tentacles pulsating throughout the area.

* In the remake, if you enter a DevelopersRoom without the correct software combination, [[NothingIsScarier there will be no one there, but the developer's corresponding BGM will still be playing]]. Prepare for a JumpScare if you're entering the room in the Gate of Illusion, because that room triggers the "scream" version of "Wonder of the Wonder"!
* The remake's Hell Temple, has a room that is empty ''AND'' is silent. And there is no reason ever to enter it, as the relevant puzzle involves covering it up with a block.

* The infamous "don't read this again" tablet in the Mausoleum of the Giants. When you first read it, it warns you not to read it again or else you will "suffer the pain of death." [[SchmuckBait It's not joking]]. Reading the tablet again not only heralds the trap sound, it increases the game's difficulty permanently. In the PC version, there are also three giant glowing red skulls that faces you momentarily (pictured above) before shattering.

* The remake adds a number of OneHitKill traps not present in the original, which can come off as a [[JumpScare shock]] to players of the original version.

* Grab that out-in-the-open Ankh Jewel in the Twin Labyrinths, we dare you. [[spoiler:It's a trap and will explode into bats if approached. [[SchmuckBait Did you really think the temple would simply let you walk up and grab a valuable treasure that easily?]]]]
** Even worse if you've never actually found an Ankh jewel before reaching this one (which is very possible), meaning there's a good chance you have no idea what it really is and thus is [[spoiler:a very obvious trap]].

* The remake's Hell Temple, has a room that is empty ''AND'' is silent.

* While en route to unlock the Hell Temple, at one point you get taken to the "Burning Cavern". It's an offshoot of the Inferno Cavern featuring only a lava pit that goes on forever and ever and ''ever'', unless you figure out the [[GuideDangIt obscure]] solution to the next puzzle.
