* NightmareFuel: While plenty of the deaths are violent, with none of the true-to-life [[{{Gorn}} gory details left missing]], the final murder discovered by Holmes is by far the worst. We don't see much of the victim, but whatever Holmes sees, it's enough to send him into a HeroicBSOD. In real life, the final victim of Jack the Ripper suffered the worst mutilation out of all corpses and the photos of her unrecognizable corpse still horrify today.
