YMMV / Death Came Through a Phantom Ship

• Complete Monster: Captain Van Der Decken is a ruthless captain under the employ of the Dutch East India Company. Once a stern but noble figure, Van Der Decken is, by his own admission, now driven by greed and conquest, displaying abusive tendencies towards his wife Catharina, and encouraging his men to enslave, rape, and pillage the "filthy foreigners" whose lands they cross. His own crew eventually turns on him for wanting to set sail on Easter Sunday, and he makes an example out of one of them by slitting his throat in front of the rest, and allows their supplies to dwindle until most of his men are dead, then goes out to finish off the rest of them. Centuries after his death, Van Der Decken continues to haunt the seas, tormenting and murdering any unlucky sailors he comes across.
• Memetic Mutation: The music video for "The Sighting is a Portent of Doom", due to how intentionally Narm it is and how the band did no effort in making it, something they themselves lampshade.
