* After you beat Onaga, you get to see the "Champion" screen that gives the one from ''Deadly Alliance'' a run for its money -- we get to see the Dragon King himself staring at the player while baddly battered and slumped on his throne, with blood soaking from his wounds, his mouth ajar and one of his eye sockets ''[[EyeScream hollow]]''.

* Yin Yang Island is an arena set in an EldritchLocation, shifting from a tropical paradise to a dark nightmare throughout the match. The lovely coconut trees transform into giant live snakes, but it's the statues that really sets the creepiness into full effect. When day randomly shifts to night, their expressions go from peaceful tranquility and suddenly warp to frightening skeletal faces set with a hideous SlasherSmile.

** This of course becomes NightmareRetardant if he does this on any female character, especially the skimpy Mileena.
* Zombie Liu Kang's appearance in general isn't a pretty sight, with the FallenHero having several wounds across his body and a [[NightmareFace rotting face]]. Not to mention that his soul is still separated from his body, which is going on a rampage and killing countless innocent lives.
* Mileena manages to finally replace Kitana and nobody is the least bit suspicious, just imagine what would have happened to Edenia if that had been allowed to continue. And her veil is see-through, which means you can see her Tarkatan maw ''at all times''! Makes you wonder how [[FailedASpotCheck no one ever noticed that upon close inspection]]. Not to mention, her voice sounds like the ragged distortion of someone trying to be sensual in their behavior you'd expect of her, moaning blissfully to mock her opponents for being distracted.

* Ermac's ending: As the warriors of good triumph over Onaga, Ermac's joy is suddenly [[MoodWhiplash halted]] as he begins to sense the identity of the true threat behind the oblivious villain's schemes; something far beyond them in power on the verge of being released; being the only one to realize this, he is left alone and with little time to act.

* Li Mei's ending which has her turning on her allies and siding with Onaga as a result of being corrupted by nearly having her soul transferred into a dragon soldier by Shang Tsung. Fortunately, this ending isn't canon.

* While relatively mundane in execution, Sub-Zero's "Chest Stomp" Fatality gains a new level of horror as it's one of the only Fatalities in the whole series where the victim audibly pleads for their life. To wit, Subbie [[LiterallyShatteredLives freezes, then shatters off]] his opponents legs, then stares menacingly down at his foe as they crawl backwards, the whole time begging him not to kill them as he [[UnflinchingWalk ominously advances.]] For most characters, it's a fairly humorously hammy chain of [[BigNo Big No's]], but Mileena sounds genuine enough to evoke images of a helpless woman cornered at the bottom of a dark alley, [[HorrifyingTheHorror even though it's, well... Mileena]].
