* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Christof's line after [[spoiler:diablerising Vukodlak]] in a BadEnding is a bit open to interpretation. Is he saying that he's finally embraced what he is and seeks to triumphantly reunite with his maker in the Sabbat? Or is the implication even more sinister, that he's going to continue his predecessor's work and wage war against her as well?

Not only are all Tzimisce you face horrible deformed monstrosities, but the [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Cathedral of Flesh]] is a horrible place, including treasure chests that obviously once were ([[AndIMustScream and may still be]]) living beings. Worst of all, the "Hall of Memory," where Anezka recorded her thoughts on serving Vukodlak and sabotaging his resurrection: by creating eight heads of herself sculpted from flesh, connected to fleshy worms that sway as she recites her "journal entries." The squishy sound they make as the extend and retract just adds to the horror.
