8* Many of the psychopaths boss fights that you encounter in the game are a symbolisation of the seven deadly sins: Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Some of the most notable are described below.
9* [[TheSociopath Albert Contiello]], [[MadDoctor the organ-harvesting doctor]] representing {{Greed}}, may be the darkest psychopath ever fought in VideoGame/DeadRising. First of all, you have to fight him while under the influence of some drug injected into you, which makes you hallucinate other survivors as clones of Albert, so you'll have very little clue if you're attacking the real thing or an innocent person (and considering the way the other survivors are behaving, they're probably going through the same experience). You'll also occasionally hear screams of terror as Albert tortures his other victims by cutting them with his surgical saw. What's worse is that whenever you hit Albert you'll black out from the effects of the drug, but not before seeing Albert and his "clones" twitch about in an eerie fashion and laugh maniacally. Even his death scene is more disturbing than average for the series, as [[DrivenToSuicide he cuts himself open with his own saw and pulls his own intestines out while hallucinating that he's being eaten by zombies.]]
10-->'''Albert:''' No! That's going to kill my profit margin! They want to get their hands on what is mine! Get your hands off what's mine! '''Mine!!!''' '''''Mine!!!!'''''
11** Not only that, but [[NoGearLevel he takes all of your weapons before the fight.]] It's hard to feel safe without the warm comfort of your [[GameBreaker Game Breakers]], which adds to the terror of being defenseless.
12* Darlene Fleischermacher, the psychotic competitive eater representing [[VillainousGlutton Gluttony]], is a disturbing mix of both this and NauseaFuel. It's made even worse as she violently stabs a starving guy to death just for trying to get some food. Her death scene, falling over and choking on her own black, bloody vomit, is also right up there with Albert's as one of the most disturbing seen in the series.
13** Darlene's NightmareFace when she screams before her battle also counts:
14--->'''Darlene:''' [[BerserkButton Are you...calling me...]]
15--->'''Nick:''' [[OhCrap Oh, shit.]]
16--->'''Darlene:''' '''[[BerserkButton FFFFFAAAAATTTTT?!]]'''
17** As [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome]] as her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByfWDMeIhy4 boss battle theme]] is, some points in it sound like screaming.
18** Or, as some comments point out, it can sound like the music is [[NauseaFuel vomiting and flatulating]].
19* Dylan Fuentes, the insane fetishist representing {{Lust}}, is pretty damn creepy. The guy keeps innocents trapped in the back room of a porn store, wears a semi-concealing BDSM mask and has [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily noticeably sharp teeth]].
20** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5YIQ4kPDmU There's also Dylan's boss battle theme]]. The PsychoStrings and [[EvilLaugh evil little chuckle]] really set the mood.
21** Dylan's [[EvilLaugh creepy laugh]] will definitely send chills into the player's neck.
22** For those paying attention, Dylan has ''zombies'' trapped in his dungeon. He abuses ''rotting, walking corpses'' just because.
23* Though the boss fight against him is a mostly bombastic martial arts reference, Harry "Zhi" Wong - the psychopath that represents [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]] - is fairly terrifying, particularly what he had been doing when Nick finds him. When Nick first arrives at his garden Zhi ''welcomes'' him, leading Nick to believes that the place is a safehouse/sanctuary... and then he sees the mutilated bodies strewn about the place. At first, Nick believes something so horrible could've only been done by zombies, but then Zhi calmly and politely explains that he slaughtered them out of anger. Nick is rightly horrified, but Zhi doesn't seem to mind until a zombie strikes a gong and disturbs his tranquility - at which point he goes into a homicidal rage and tries to kill ''everybody.'' Just think how many of those dead bodies lying on the ground were innocent survivors looking for shelter, thinking the garden was a safe haven as Nick did and welcomed in by a warrior who seemed to be protecting them, not knowing that at the slightest irritation their "protector" would descend upon ''them'' indiscriminately and cut them to ribbons...
24** His death scene has him ''[[OffWithHisHead decapitating his own head]]'' out of sheer spite, believing it to be the only way he can truly stop all the awful things that keep happening to him. He literally rage-quit his own life.
25* Nick encounters a zombie whose head has become horribly disfigured into a fully functioning bee hive. This is revisited later when he comes across [[EliteZombie the mutated King Zombies]] that are walking bee hives and can ''fire bees from their mouths''.
26* Sgt. Hilde Schmittendorf [[EstablishingCharacterMoment establishes her role in the game]] when she orders a guard to shoot a pleading man's wife dead. And then, without a shred of remorse, kills the man by a NeckSnap. All with a disturbing sexual pleasure.
27* What Diego saw that caused him to go crazy in the museum. An exhibit that talks about a zombie that started the Smithville outbreak in 2007. A zombie with a number tattoo on his neck just like him and Nick. Nick understandably is horrified.
28* Diego's horrible demise. He suffers a painful death from being hit with Marian's laser, [[FacialHorror which causes larva and queens to burst out of his eyes and mouth.]] It's even worse later in Brad's DLC, where you have to visit it and see the extent of the damage; Diego's entire bottom jaw and most of his face has been torn free, exposing much of the bone, and his broken ribs poke through the gaping hole from his chest.
29* The president being turned by being force-fed a parasite. One second she's coughing up blood and the next she's completely and totally zombified.
30* [[BloodierAndGorier The new and improved gore]] can definitely count, depending on the player. It's not uncommon to see brains, organs and bone exposed after attacking a zombie, unlike the older games which basically had the zombies insides be a red texture.
31** That said, the zombies are a whole lot more graphic to begin with, thanks to the improved graphics, often having gory, disgusting wounds even before getting mowed down.
