Misuse of Hell Is That Noise, which is meant for in-universe reactions to disturbing noises.


* A lot of the new music, if it isn't [[AwesomeMusic/TheBindingOfIsaac awesome]], is [[HellIsThatNoise absolutely terrifying]].

** [[https://youtu.be/o6C7OZ0B1JE?t=229 Ending 10]], where Isaac opens the chest and finds ''his own corpse''[[labelnote:spoiler]]???/Blue Baby[[/labelnote]], who then sits up and smiles at him. The [[HellIsThatNoise "music"]] absolutely doesn't help.

*** There's also Dogma's boss music, a vocal theme titled ''Staying in the Light.'' Recognize those words? They're from Literature/TheBible. That's not the scary part, though; it's the way that the words are used being very much a case of TruthInTelevision, as many [[MeaningfulName dogmatic]] fundamentalist preachers will use the words of Scripture in very manipulative and abusive ways, leaving many other professing Christians (not to mention people of other practicing religions) disgusted and repulsed.

** Spirit ofhe Night: Gives Isaac the power of flight and ghost tears by transforming him from a little boy into a [[NightmareFace demonic specter with pale white eyes and needle-like teeth]]. [[DealWithTheDevil It doesn't help that this is also a devil room item]].

** An honorable mention for the most nightmarish item is "[[https://antibirth.fandom.com/wiki/2Spooky 2Spooky]]". Silly name aside, the item causes Isaac to turn blood-red, and [[NightmareFace gives him a screaming face with hellish pupils]], resembling [[VideoGame/EarthBound Giygas]]. Hell, its effect is to [[HorrifyingTheHorror make any enemies]] in a short range gain a [[StatusInflictionAttack fear effect]], making it nightmare fuel InUniverse.

* The designs for bosses in Wrath of the Lamb are horrifying, such as The Husk (see page image ^). The new bosses seem to be the old ones… [[BackFromTheDead after you killed them]]. Most of them look absolutely horrible, but [[UrineTrouble Peep's]] design (now known as The Bloat) looks the worst by far. He seems to have collapsed on the inside and [[EyeScream is bleeding from his eyesockets.]] [[http://i.imgur.com/JPGfDSm.jpg Here's the poster]].

** While [[DummiedOut unused in the game proper]], the [[http://i.imgur.com/5YWLAlJ.png "Skinless Hush"]] sprites found in the game's files have a healthy dose of BodyHorror. It's probably for the best that they turned out to be a RedHerring.
*** At least until concept art revealed that it's ''not''...
