History VideoGame / SpookysJumpScareMansion

** Possibly unintentional, but Specimen 8, the Deer God, is reminiscent of a 4chan greentext creepypasta about a soldier and his experiences with a deer/goat-man monster that attacks his squad while training. It can be found [[http://www.funnyjunk.com/channel/morbid-channel/Deerman/BdTaLOq here.]]

In late 2016, the game got an UpdatedRerelease under the title ''Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation''. The re-release changed the game over to the Unity engine, improved the graphics, gave the specimens 3D models, the DLC "Karamari Hospital" is pre-included with the game, and VR support the UsefulNotes/OculusRift and UsefulNotes/HTCVive. The player can also switch between the 3D models at any time. The re-release is however a commercial game unlike the original version which is freeware, but the original version is available for download. The HD re-release trailer can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tshkcflH4MY here]].

* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler: The bad ending for the Dollhouse DLC. You manage to make the mansion blow up, but, by not closing the HellGate, all the horrors of the mansion quickly run rampant and doom the world]].
* AscendedMeme: One of the Endless mode monsters is named "Spooper' and is (originally) a person in a [[BedsheetGhost crappy ghost costume]].[[note]] In case you're wondering, "Spoopy" is a term used for something comical and "spooky" at the same time. [[/note]]

*** [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseWow Bad Ending]]]]: Proceed through the Dollhouse as normal, and [[spoiler:complete the Nightmare and Self-Destruct scenes]]. [[spoiler: The game then cuts to the Protagonist outside, far from the mansion but with it still in their view. The self-destruct sequence completes and the mansion crumbles away as the basement dollhouse explodes. Seconds after, a whole swarm of skull-like ghosts burst out of the mansion into the sky, which turns red. Text appears and explains that with the seal broken, the spirits of the mansion are free, but with the {{Hellgate}} having not been closed, they went to the surface, and are now free to wreak havoc throughout the now-doomed world.]]

* UncannyValley: Intentionally {{Invoked}}. Some of the Specimens aren't... right. Specimen 5 has its stiff, jerky movements, and Specimen 6's grinning ''stare...''

-->'''In the ghost ending''': Well, you died... In a pretty tragic way, too. Just tragic enough for you to become a ghost. Good job, by the way, making it this far. So buckle up soldier, because now I think we finally have enough troops to invade.
-->'''In the specimen ending''': Congratulations! You did it! It was interesting, watching you swing your axe around like that. I know you'll make a fine specimen.
* WhamShot:
** Putting the correct code into one of the otherwise unused arcade machines will activate a brief secret involving multiple wham shots. [[spoiler: Spooky as a normal kid happily holding her dad's hand. An adult in a ghost costume condescendingly patting her head while she sits on a porch in her reaper costume on Halloween, looking frustrated & depressed instead of perpetually happy. The inside of her bag which contains firecrackers & a tube of fake blood instead of candy. A look of horror in a stranger's eye & a spent bullet casing on the ground.]] All followed by this line in text. [[spoiler: "I just wanted to be taken seriously. I just wanted to scare people. But I don't blame them. At least I finally scared someone."]]
** The Doll House DLC gives another one: [[spoiler: During the sequence where you destroy the nightmare, you turn a corner, and automatically shoot... Spooky.]]

** It's also somewhat implied that the main character is young, which can possibly put the other specimen under this scope. Spooky and the cat both refer to the protagonist as being little; and while it can be hard to hear through the static and its chase theme, [[AnimalisticAbomination Specimen 8]] outright calls you a child while chasing you (Although considering Specimen 8 is a Deer God, it’s possibly within range to call anyone under 60 a child).
