The filmmakers are deeply entrenched in horror film culture, and this film reflects that. We see people and booths at horror conventions. Latex monster masks & appliances dominate the background throughout most interior shots. GWAR lead singer the late Dave Brockie is interviewed on-camera (in full Oderus Urungus costume and fully in character), and we also see characters such as the Toxic Avenger, etc.
Many disturbing drawings of fantastical monsters as well as possibly real (or very convincing-looking anyway) photographs of deformed human beings.
Several scenes in which people are in the dark woods waiting for "monsters" to arrive. There is significant nervous tension in these scenes.
There are a few monster jump scares in the darkness.
Some people are attacked by a group of very angry monsters. It's kind of intense, though all victims walk away unscathed, with only property damage having been incurred.
A man is kept in a cage and threatened into making a statement he obviously doesn't believe. The man is obviously completely terrified of his off-camera captor(s).
A man's house is quietly broken into by a hostile and possibly homicidal intruder in the middle of the night. We see the homeowners sleeping while the intruder creeps up near their bed (first-person POV). Pretty tense scene.
