Nightmare Fuel / Pac-Man World

• The game's introduction, with Pac-Man coming home to a surprise party that's been completely ransacked, and no members of his family to be found, not even his dog, not even his children. As the severity of the situation dawns on him all he can really think to do is scream.
  • In fact, the abductions of the Pac-Man family (save for Pac-Man) come off as distressing, especially with Chomp-Chomp and Ms. Pac-Man's respective abductions.
• The Game Over screen. Should you run out of lives, it first plays out like normally, with the title and the loading icon. Until Toc-Man himself suddenly appears with an Evil Laugh and the title being changed to Toc-Man World. It's a rather startling Jumpscare at the very least.
• The first part of the Anubis fight. THE HAND! The second part is a nightmare in another way.
• The creepy Funhouse world with the walls and walls of distorted, steam-spewing faces. It certainly doesn't help that these levels are also the biggest time-wasters.
• King Galaxian, a Giant Enemy Crab with four glowing eyes and a sucking tractor beam that draws you right into its mouth. Yikes.
• The final world isn't just a haunted mansion. It's a mansion surrounded by a graveyard. Its first stage has an Addams Family-esque BGM, the second has a way too calm music with some Scare Chords thrown in, and the third one uses the Ominous Pipe Organ a little too well, resulting in a horrifying rendition of the Pac-Man theme.
