Added 'Narm Charm', and made some other edits.


* {{Squick}}: Lizzie needs you to pick Dracula's pocket. In order to distract him she dances with him seductively. She's barely even entered adolescence.
* NightmareFuel: '''Those goddamn trash can tunnel monsters...''' Given how this game is based on children's horror fiction novellas, you see many creepy yet goofy monsters and visuals. The trash can tunnels, on the other hand, contain these [[EldritchAbomination freaky slug-like one-eyed monsters with two sets of teeth and six clawed arms]] that stick out from the goofiness the books have to offer.
** Just imagine going through the tunnels collecting coins with no problems, and then '''''BAM!!!!''''' One of the monsters jump out in front of you, capturing you.

* NarmCharm: As this game is based on a book from a children's series of horror novels, this is expected, as there are plenty of creepy yet goofy monsters and visuals.
* NightmareFuel: '''Those goddamn trash can tunnel monsters...''' As stated above, there are monsters everywhere in the game that are creepy, yet goofy. The trash can tunnels, on the other hand, contain these [[EldritchAbomination freaky slug-like one-eyed monsters with two sets of teeth and six clawed arms]] that stick out from the goofiness the books have to offer.[[note]]According to [[https://goosebumps.fandom.com/wiki/Escape_from_HorrorLand_(video_game)?file=Escape_from_Horrorland_game_ad_Fox_Kids_Mag_Winter_1996.jpg this advert]], the name of these monsters are Recyclops'.[[/note]]

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

* UncannyValley: The freaky green horned... things. And Stump.
** Stump might have been intentional though since [[spoiler: it's really Madison Storm in disguise]]

The deadly situations are explicit to the horror and thus not fridge


* FridgeHorror: If you didn't rescue the kids in time, thinking of the consequences would have been..... unpleasant.

Added DiffLines:

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychopathicManchild Madison Storm]], blaming the whole world for his lonely childhood, decided to make everyone as miserable as he was by constructing [[AmusementParkOfDoom Horrorland]]. Drawing ghouls from all over the universe to the park using a device called the Cosmic Monster Attractor, Storm has them terrorize and kill people while he [[SnuffFilm records it for broadcast on the Monster Channel]]. Anyone who survives the park's deadly rides and attractions gets [[FedToTheBeast fed to beasts]] or drowned, with Storm at one point musing that his preferred victims are [[WouldHurtAChild children]], whose terrified shrieks and cries are [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming music to his ears]]. After the Morris family and their friend Clay manage to make it out of Horrorland alive, the enraged Storm teleports them and the PlayerCharacter back to the park and subjects them to its latest horrors, all the while toying with them by pretending to be a benevolent Horror named Stump. Storm eventually reveals that he is holding Mr. and Mrs. Morris captive, and that he is going to [[ForcedToWatch make the children watch]] while he either crushes them or mutates them into Horrors. When Clay accidentally causes the Cosmic Monster Attractor to begin malfunctioning, Storm refuses to fix the device, instead deciding to let it meltdown so that the captured children and Morris parents will be blown up by it, along with the rest of Horrorland.
