ENA is a rather creepy series at times despite its wacky environments and characters, featuring quite a lot of Surreal Horror.


  • ENA's breakdown at the beginning of "Temptation Stairway" is quite unsettling to watch, especially when she starts... glitching.
  • When ENA gets sucked into the mannequin with no face, we're then treated to seeing a giant pile of the creepy mannequins in a dark void... with the faceless mannequin staring at ENA silently. The effect is quite unsettling. This is made creepier by the disturbing ambient noises in the background and the lack of explanation to who or what this mannequin is.
  • Those who access Joel's website during maintenance hour are greeted with this: a still shot of ENA from "Auction Day" before she changes into Sad ENA as static plays in the background. Users know about the website's maintenance, but they don't expect a jumpscare.
  • During the final few minutes of "Temptation Stairway," ENA asks what Moony's wish was, which Moony refuses to answer because she thinks ENA will make fun of her... Only to then split in half with an incredibly disturbing sound to reveal a half-grey half-white humanoid with one eye and no other features. Even ENA is disturbed.
    ENA: ...CHEESE AND RICE, MOONY!
  • Ulysses is a another one. His creepiness is amplified his glitchy, disturbing dialogue.
    Ulysses: B-b-but heed this warning. WARNING! desires are never fulfilled Nor q-q-quenched. You will fail. Fail. FAIL fail fail... Like the rest of them... Like the rest of them. Like the rest of them...
  • The end of the Dream BBQ Announcement Trailer has a few shots of a Joker-like figure in a navy blue mantle ascending towards the camera while laughing creepily, which is a definite surprise for a trailer which otherwise had your usual ENA fare. What isn't helping is the Animation Bump for this guy compared to every other 2D character seen so far.
  • The new ENA's currently unnamed form is...something. As the latest Dream BBQ trailer shows this form has a green and nearly cracked to pieces face crying blood and missing arms. Her new human-like form is a bit better, but makes many wonder; just what are the ENA species?
  • At the start of "Power of Potluck", you can hear Moony screaming for ENA to run from the door, which is...concerning. Though it turns out its just because they're supposed to be doing a classic ding dong and ditch...or Ring-Rong Run.
  • The mask that drags ENA along during "Power of Potluck" is rather sinister looking, though what makes it stand out is the fleshy cord that has it's veins attached to ENA's sad side.
