** Simon's especially creepy because of his [[UncannyValley voice]]. Due to the age of the tapes the sessions were recorded on, it distorts every so often, making him seem even more alien.

** The full fledged reveal that Gordon killed his family. We don't ''see'' it unlike how we witnessed his murdering of his friends, but we ''[[NothingIsScarier hear]]'' it. We hear his wife acting calmly and happily to him coming home and attempting to make peace (as heard in the beginning), until hot water is spilled on him. And we hear... ''something'' done to her, his dog, and finally [[WouldHurtAChild his infant daughter]]. The fact we don't see makes it more horrifying. Just ''what'' did Gordon do?

--->'''Simon''': Hello... Gordon.
* Simon himself, the main villain of the movie. A demonic entity that possesses "the weak

** Simon's especially creepy because of his [[UncannyValley voice]]. Due to the age of the tapes the sessions were recorded on, it distorts every so often, making him seem even more alien.
** The movie [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane leaves it ambiguous]] whether Simon is real, or Mary and Gordon were already unstable and just snapped. This may actually be ''worse''.

* 'DO IT, [[spoiler:GORDON]]."** Later, Jeff finds him standing in a stairwell. He's wearing sunglasses, his fingers are covered in blood, and all he can say is "What are ''you'' doing here?" in an eerily flat tone of voice. Creepy enough, but then we find out what happened to him... Gordon lobotomized him. The lobotomy pick's still sticking out of his face. At first glance, it even looks like [[EyeScream Gordon jammed it into his eyesocket]].
