Yes, those are bodies strewn all over the walls.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The sight of hundreds upon hundreds of preserved corpses stitched together is unbelievably creepy. Not to mention the way this sight is revealed, and the accompanying music.
- Earlier in the movie, Darry and Trish talk about the local urban legend of Kenny and Darla, a prom king and queen who went missing. Authorities only found a smashed up car and Darla's headless corpse. Venturing into the basement, Darry discovers they were previous victims of the Creeper and their harvested remains were added to the House of Pain. The Creeper even reattached Darla's head to her body. Darry can barely explain when he gets back to Trish.Darry: [overwhelmed] She did lose her head. Darla lost her head, just like they said. And you know what he did, Trish? You know what he did for her? He sewed it back on. He sewed it right back on.

- See Eye Scream on the main page. In one version, you can even hear Darry screaming during the establishing shots before the reveal.
- The screams at the end of the movie were too intense for the UK Home Video release that in order to get a 15 certificate rating, they had to edit out the final screams although the closed captioning on the DVD still has the screams included as well as them being audible during the commentary and other language audio tracks.
- To add to the horror of the situation, it's show that Darry was abducted at night but screaming during the next morning. Darry spent a night as the Creeper's helpless captive and being readied for that grisly demise.
- The scene where the siblings witness the Creeper throwing the bodies down the pipe. At first he doesn't seem to notice them as he carries on with his business, but then he turns around and just stares at them as they drive past. Trish and Darry very quickly decide to make a swift exit... and then they notice, to their horror, that the Creeper has started up his truck...
- Much more disturbing if you know that the scene is directly inspired by a Real Life incident in which wife-murderer Dennis DePue was spotted disposing of a bloodied blanket by a couple passing by on a seldom-used back road. DePue pursued the witnesses in his own vehicle and attempted to run them off the road, but they managed to elude him.
- The cat lady notices someone behind her fence and asks Darry and Trish if they're alone. They turn around to see a scarecrow behind the woman's picket fence. Only, it wasn't there before.Cat lady: That's not my scarecrow.
- The idea of what the Creeper does to its victims. It takes them to a building that it calls the "House of Pain" and then rips them apart while they're alive and screaming, eating only certain body parts before leaving the victim to die on their own. Whether it needs fresh body parts or just likes to cause suffering is questionable, but it is certainly sadistic.
