* [[Jump Scare]]: The cutscene when you're trapped in the jail could count. But if you really want a Jump Scare, hide in a closet with the monster in the room. {{spoiler|At the end of the game, you get one of these with a horrifying sound to boot.}}

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: In version 6, there's no music except for when a monster appears, which is a repeating [[Scare Chord]]. Also, at some points the player has to hide in an empty wardrobe in the bedrooms; the screen goes black and the music is silenced. The only thing you can hear is the door opening when the monster enters to find you, then the door closing once it leaves. Even worse, in some cases, the monster will appear in the room just before you enter the wardrobe, thus causing a Game Over.
