Before making their way through the theme park's haunted house section of Joilant, a cutscene shows a host introducing the group to the area (shown above in the picture). Perhaps just as disturbing as his face, the host practically blips in Klonoa's (and the player's) own faces with absolutely no warning, making this a jump scare. It's no wonder Lolo was terrified.
Volk City suffers from perpetual civil war, with Klonoa forced to travel through the carnage before approaching the resident bell tower. Civilians run in panic as explosives destroy their homes and other public properties, and factories pollute the area as they create more weaponry, making for an oppressive atmosphere.
"Volkan Inferno" takes place after Lolo urges Klonoa to return to Volk City and prevent a reactor meltdown. By the time the heroes return to town, its skyline has become a deep red and no one else seems to be around. Worse still, the boss of Volk City, the Mobile Tank Biskarsh, returns from its initial defeat to pursue Klonoa throughout the ruined city, making for an even more terrifying retread through the city's ruins. The machine is invincible until the very end, where it is ultimately hit by an oncoming train. Until then, the player will have to endure the frantic chase and hellish landscape.
The Maze of Memories is perhaps the freakiest level in the game, perhaps even more than the Kingdom of Sorrow's Hyuponia. Everything is literally abstract and you'll feel more lost than anything. The ending cutscene with the mirror is also quite ominous, with the masked figures that keep humiliating and teasing Lolo.
Leorina gets overwhelmed by the Element of Sorrow when she tries to use it, and it transforms her into Cursed Leorina, a monstrosity that's a cross between a flightless bird and a large insect, completely unlike her original form. Cursed Leorina's roar twists from the roar of a mighty beast into a chilling, distorted scream of pain.
When the heroes meet the King of Sorrow, there's one point where the camera gradually cuts closer to the king's face. Most of the focus is placed on his eyes, which have been crying for an untold amount of time and have become blood-red. They're complemented by his pinprick irises that are just barely visible among the redness. Evidently, the poor guy's gone mad from his depression, and he looks ready to lash out against whoever draws near.
His "Shell Form" in the first phase of his battle may also qualify, due to its Eldritch Abomination-like appearance.
