* Griffin's ferocious temper and megalomanic insanity, coupled with his invisibility, produces a frighteningly unpredictable package. He ends up with the highest body count of any of the classic Franchise/UniversalHorror monsters, as well as most horror movie slashers, most of which he does for ''no reason at all.''
** The death scenes themselves are increasingly nightmarish:
*** First, he strangles the constable nearly to death, and then finishes the job by bashing him in the head with a stool.
*** Later, while a search party is looking for him near a cliff-side, he takes the liberty of pushing two of them off.
*** He sneaks into a railway tower and bludgeons the switchman in the head with a lamp. It is left unclear if the man survives.
*** He then tops all of the previous crimes by derailing a train, which apparently kills ''a hundred people.''
*** Finally, there is the death of Kemp, who he chokes, ties up, and then throws into a car, which he then sets in motion, resulting in a deadly crash.
* Really, the entire film is made of ParanoiaFuel, as it milks the implications of Griffin's capabilities for all they're worth.
** Not helping matters is the many instances of BlackComedy scattered throughout the film. Theoretically, this should add some levity to the film, but the resulting MoodWhiplash ultimately creates a sense of unease that never truly lets up until Griffin is finally defeated.
* In general, the concept on an invisible person wanting you dead is enough reason to incite paranoia. Especially when he describes what time he promises to do so.

* The care facility for insensates, people who lost most or all of their senses due to invisibility research. Particularly memorable is a man who keeps cutting himself with a shard of glass, implying that pain is the only thing he can feel anymore. When Darrien takes the glass away, the man desperately gropes around for it.

-->"It was as if someone was knocking at the backdoor of my brain--something that wanted in real bad. Staring into that mirror, I had the sudden, horrible feeling that another person was looking back--a stranger that had stolen my face."

* In "Tiresias," Hobbes is attacked by a Quicksilver-mad Darien. Hobbes tries to call for help from a phone booth, as an invisible Darien smashes the glass and tips it over before trying to strangle him.

* The central idea: a CompleteMonster has made himself invisible. You don't know he's coming until he's got his fingers around your throat. And he is ''furious''. The scene where a man who was forced to help him runs panicked into a town screaming, ''"The Invisible Man is coming!"'' is still disturbing.
