* Fortesque himself, despite his cartoonish and goofy looks, can come across as genuinely creepy at times, most notably during his resurrection scene at the start of the original 1998 game. From the moment he sits up to the way he stares directly at the camera before [[TheUnsmile smiling at the player in all his deformed glory]]... ''yikes''.

* The Sleeping Village level. The first half of the stage is populated with all the townsfolk [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turned insane]] due to Zarok's black magic. Which includes the children. A chunk of Dan's time will be spent running from [[AnAxeToGrind axe-wielding]], [[CreepyChild constantly-giggling girls]].

* Wulfrum Hall in the second game is infested with vampires, who are immune to all attacks except exposure to sunlight. Pushing their coffins into sunlight to destroy them has them burst out, wreathed in flames and will violently chase Dan around, shrieking horribly before finally succumbing. There's also little girl vampires running around in the level, who cannot be hurt at all.

* The Hilltop Mausoleum, where you have to resurrect the boss and fight it (including setting its heart on fire) in order to get the Skeleton Key. Things get more and more ominous as your task draws nearer to completion, not helped by the foreboding atmosphere emanating throughout the mausoleum itself.

* The Hilltop Mausoleum. It becomes obvious that you're resurrecting the boss to fight it (including setting its heart on fire) long before you end up in the fight itself, and it gets more and more ominous as your task draws nearer to completion, not helped by the foreboding atmosphere emanating throughout the mausoleum itself.

* The large headless zombies which are basically the EliteMook of the normal zombies. They are faster, stronger and definitely more aggressive than the slow and dimwitted ones, not to mention harder to kill.. The worst part is when you have to face a large mass of these monsters in The Asylum level.

* The simple fact that the hero of the series is a skeleton. Usually, skeletons are the bad guy's {{Mook}}s. What would have happened if some well-intentioned wanna-be hero mistook Dan for the enemy?

* The Hilltop Mausoleum. It becomes obvious that you're resurrecting the boss to fight (including setting its heart on fire) it long before you end up in the boss fight, and the creature is made of stained glass.

* The Inside The Asylum level has the madmen running wild and LaughingMad as they try to attack you.
