So it's a creepy farm-cum-slaughterhouse, sure...but then you're attacked by suicide-bombing demon chickens, cyborg cows in bondage gear, reanimated butchers with sawblades and cow heads hanging on their neck, and find bloody scribbles on the walls reading "please i'll be a vegetarian" and "i'll join PETA"...and THEN the level segues into a fast food restaurant named ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Last Food]]'' with a host of clowns attacking you. And this was supposed to be scary?

It has the same ridiculous clowns as Animal Farm (though the change of setting makes them less ridiculous), and the overly "gruesome" amusement park rides are [[Refuge in Audacity|too audacious to be scary]].
