* The Big Daddies have been replaced by the altogether creepier Handymen. Just to emphasize how much more f*cked up they are over the Big Daddies, you get a viewport with the subject's beating heart on full display. Just the SOUND of their hands moving should be enough to get anyone freaking out.
** Their movements and attacks also mimic apes for some reason. So despite the head being so, [[Fridge Horror|can we really be sure that those organs inside it are also human?]]
* '''Songbird'''. A giant, black, screeching mechanical steampunk bird gargoyle creature whose sole purpose is to hunt you down and retrieve Elizabeth.
** The thing has claws, smacks Dewitt around like he was nothing and tears through buildings like paper (Not to mention its from Dewitt point of view the whole time. Those claws an inch from you face, yeesh).
** It has its share of [[Nothing Is Scarier]] and [[Hell Is That Noise]] moments. When [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=attvYJb6xn8&feature=player_embedded it searches for Elizabeth], you hear a distorted, frightening cry, and a search spotlight very similar to The Scarecrow in Batman's nightmares in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]''.
* [[Adult Fear|Possibly scarier]] than any monster is the political extremism that has torn the city apart: the Founders are racist, xenophobic and theocratic despots who openly endorse eugenics and can and have used their floating superweapon to impose their will on foreign countries in the name of imperialistic nationalism. The Vox Populi are a group that started with good intentions only to devolve into blood thirsty thugs who loot shop owners, publicly execute ''postmen'' for "spreading lies" and whose belief of "everything should belong to everyone" has turned into "everything should belong to ''us''". In Rapture you fought against mutants whose insanity was explicitly caused by fantastical [[Psycho Serum]]. At first glance, in Columbia you fight against ''people'' [[Truth in Television|turned into "monsters" by mere ''ideology'']].
** In the E3 demo, you get a very good look at this. People getting mugged, live terrorism in open daylight, propaganda of film reels showing faces on those red curtains. It's total anarchy in the streets. Heck at one point you come across some people about to do a live execution to an innocent mailman and your given the choice to let him die to preserve your cover or save him and have the radicals gunning for you.
Line 17:
** Also, a Vox Populi member runs behind a carriage after you tell him off... and then he just vanishes. He could be behind the cart, but it's still [[Paranoia Fuel]] and nightmare fuel when you consider what's written above.
*** Actually, you can see him a quick second away from the carriage before the player keeps on moving.
* The fear of heights is strong with this one, especially when riding the sky rails. Leaping from one to the next, especially with people pursuing you. Not to mention you ''really'' have to pay attention where your riding lest you slam into cargo box and go for a fall.
** The developers have said that you can't fall off the Skylines accidentally, since they want to encourage their use as much as possible. As such, you probably just stop if you hit the cargo containers, or drop to a lower rail.
* The leader of Columbia, a gentleman named Comstock, is heralded in posters as being the 'Hero of the Battle of Wounded Knee.' Go ahead and look up exactly how that battle went.
** Then again, this ''is'' alternate history, so it's anyone's guess how ''this'' version of Wounded Knee actually went.
