** "You know that high-pitched ringing sound you hear? That '''eeeeeeeeee'''? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts." |

** For example, in one scene, {{spoiler|Christine is alone in her house at night when she starts hearing strange noises, including screeching sounds, creaking, and thumps from above.

An invisible force then blasts her backwards into a counter, leaving her with a bloody lip.}} |

* [[Requiem for A Dream]] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Fk9pqhUGw "Meltdown"]. Some bizarre amalagration of disjointed violins, machinery and swing music. It'd be awesome if it weren't so terrifying. {{spoiler|Wait till you get to about 3:28.}} |

** For such a silly, entertaining movie, the eerie howls that can occasionally be heard in the background (such as when Galahad's limping towards Castle Anthrax) are genuinely disturbing. Can you imagine being in the rain, wounded, locked outside a castle, listening to those mournful howls come closer and closer? |
