Line 21:
* [[Deadly Rotary Fan]]: There are spinning ceiling fans which you have to shoot the motors of in order to stop them from hurting/killing you.
* [[Dem Bones]]: Skeletons are among the more common mooks in the first episode. They make a return toward the end of the final episode.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Gib Cthulhu with a Slingshot?]]
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]]: On the difficulty selection screen, there is an icon of Johnny flexing his muscles next to each choice, with bigger muscles on harder difficulties. The icon for Easy mode has him [[Flexing Those Non -Biceps]].
* [[EverythingsEverything's Deader With Zombies]]: The most common mook in the game. They appear in almost every level except for a couple of boss battles.
* [[Evil Twin]]: Johnny's Nemesis, who appears once an episode.
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: The first several stages of the second episode.
Line 32:
* [[Helpful Mook]]: There are certain areas in the castle stage that can only be reached by getting a boost from the Ogres' [[Ground Pound]] attack. More common throughout the game are living boots that [[Punched Across the Room|kick you across the stage]]. Sometimes they're meant to knock you into spikes, but other times they'll help you across gaps.
* [[Homage]]: One of the mooks in episode 3 is clearly an homage to the [[Alien|Xenomorph]].
* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons]]: In the fourth stage, there is a sleeping dragon who will [[One -Hit Kill]] you unless you crawl past it. Just one dragon. In the middle of a horror setting.
* [[Invisibility]]: Invisible men appear as mooks toward the end of the first episode. You can thankfully see them because they wear boots, gloves and a hat... [[Fridge Logic|but no clothes...]]
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Several. The title screen sounds similar to "The [[Monster Mash]]", the first stage contains the intro to "[[Toccata and Fugue In D Minor (Music)|Toccata and Fugue In D Minor]]", the penultimate stage of episode 2 has a small snippet from "In the Hall of the Mountain King", and the fight music against Igor bears similarity to "Flight of the Bumblebee".
Line 39:
* [[Mirror Boss]]: [[Once an Episode]], Johnny's "[[Evil Twin|nemesis]]" appears to challenge him.
* [[Monster Mash]]: Duh.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: Apart from the horror theme, bears ''no'' resemblance to the coin-op or pinball machine of the same name.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The first episode, not so much. But the next two... let's just say there's a reason why the registered version lets you gain extra lives whenever you want.
* [[Pun -Based Title]]: The pun being on "[[Monster Mash]]."
* [[Punny Name]]: The rat who occasionally appears to indicate which way to go {{spoiler|and who authors the final level's hint message}} is named Frank Lloyd Rat.
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Count Chuck. {{spoiler|Rather than just shooting him until he dies as you do with the rest of the bosses, you're supposed to destroy the talismans on his wings, and then aim for his feet.}}
Line 53:
** [[Abandoned Laboratory]]: Levels 2-8 and 2-9.
** [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Level 1-10 and the last section of 3-5.

** [[Big Fancy Castle]]: Levels 2-6 and 2-7.
** [[Boss Only Level]]: Levels 1-10, 2-3, and 2-9. Surprisingly, the final level isn't one.
