1 | Judging by the name '''''Nightmare''' Ned'', both the video game and the [[ShortRunners Short-Runner]] definitely need NightmareFuel into them. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * The whole game has some of this. Particularly the Drain Snake. |
4 | * The {{gonk}}ified [[MixAndMatchCritters Weird, Wild, and Wonderful]] are bad enough to look at, but they're even worse they start attacking and make [[HellIsThatNoise creepy sounds]]. |
5 | * This... [[http://i.imgur.com/g5NwZHO.png thing]]. It gleefully hops up and down, trying to flatten you, while wearing that terrible SlasherSmile. |
6 | * The giant disembodied EldritchAbomination claws from the intro. Even more horrifying on the CD-ROM cover. |
7 | ** In the good end, it's revealed that said claws belong to a giant monster version of Ned himself! |
8 | * There’s a lot of this particularly in the Graveyard stage. In one instance, you end up in a dark mausoleum where you must help a (presumably dead) little girl retrieve her nightlight from a bat, all while a piñata is painfully moaning in the background. |
9 | ** In the same stage, Ned ends up in his own parents' graves as their zombified corpses try to close in on him before he escapes. |
10 | * The unreleased version of the "In The Locker" theme, called "The Avenger", features a few, new unsettling lyrics: |
11 | "The same eyes... |
12 | ...The same eyes! |
13 | —IT CAN'T BE! |
14 | ...The same eyes..." |
15 | * The Hospital stage. The stage starts with Ned strapped down on a table rolling down a hallway avoiding Mad surgeons who rip out his organs! Come the very next scene and Ned is in the operating room getting nasty-looking new organs randomly put him by a beaver that's clearly been experimented on. |
16 | ** In another scene, Ned ends up in a disgusting mouth full of germs, worms, rotted teeth, evil dentists, and a blob monster who wants to eat him. |
17 | *** Before that, the way Ned enters the mouth. He has to hop onto a dentist's chair that is a mouth with no lower jaw and be swallowed! |
18 | * Ned getting turned into a slug. He has to crawl into a hole in the wall while avoiding the woman who suddenly goes mad waving a salt shaker around! |
19 | * The skeletal demon found at the top of the tree in the graveyard. |
20 | * The sheer randomness of the game--as one Let's Player put it, it feels more like a nightmare than more mature games like ''Franchise/SilentHill'', which are designed to emulate nightmares, because at least those have structure. |
