Nightmare Fuel / Everybody Edits

Campaigns:

• "MIHBs Dream" gradually goes from an ordinary grassy level to Mind Screw as it reveals itself as a Disguised Horror Story. Endless Corridors appear, the same collectables keep reappearing, the sky turns red, and a large inexplicable silhouette of a smiley with red eyes emerges. Things get weirder as the player character is abruptly teleported around, the text "ALWAYS MORE COINS" keeps covering the level, the level destroys itself with a spreading emptiness that appears to break the boundaries of the level into the void. The tone overall goes back and forth between cheerful and disturbing, before abruptly turning back to normal at the end. The use of invisible portals was uncommon at the time, only being available through a glitch, adding to the overall uneasiness.
• "A Dreary Day" starts off innocent, but the weather of the level gets more and more ominous, before thunder abruptly hits the player character with a loud sound and a quick flash. The player then rises Back from the Dead in a lonely Creepy Cemetery. Any future Hope Spots from that point onward disappear, and turn out to be a continuation of the dull, eerie purple area the level takes place in.

Other levels:

• The world "Cry kid Cry" shows a crying kid seeing a large, green monster with exposed flesh and empty eyes plus other monsters crawling through portals. What makes this even more unsettling is that there appears to be a monster inside the house, meaning the kid has nowhere to go. No explanation is given for any of this.
• "Children of the Pie" has children lining up for trick-or-treating in a house...only that it's a trap where children are killed and implied to be baked into pies. This is rather graphically shown, with a smiling Pumpkin Person in the house's dark basement stabbing a child's chest with a knife, Blood from the Mouth and a traumatized face visible.
