![]() ![]() He's literally just a severed head, completely helpless, and at the mercy of whoever is currently holding him. Some deaths can cause a very depressing Game Over screen, such as one where Nick's head is sitting in front of her grave with a rose (she doesn't rise from her grave in this one), or if you die in the Prologue chapter, the Game Over screen only shows her arm coming out (Nick isn't present) while Nick says in a sad tone, "Juliet. Here, we see Juliet's zombified arm reach out from her grave for Nick's head, while Nick says that he wishes he could've protected her or something equally heartbreaking. Usually in zombie games, the Game Over screen just says "GAME OVER" or "YOU ARE DEAD." This game, however, is different. The Game Over screen is pretty unsettling.By the end of the game, she's slaughtered hundreds to thousands of zombies (many of whom were her classmates, friends and fellow cheerleaders) and she does it all with a smile on her face. She seems to have a lot of difficulty grasping the severity of the situation. The helicopter crash in the beginning - listening to the pilot screaming "Tell my wife I love her!" (which then degenerates into wet sounding crunches).The picture of him on Vikke's profile card is especially creepy. Heck, Rosalind herself may qualify - she seems a bit Ax-Crazy and Laughing Mad, and this was before her possession! Her treating Nick like a toy and less like a person just puts a point on it.His goofy appearance does little to offset the fuel. Just imagine what would've happened if Juliet had lost. His main goal is to wreck everything in sight. He has one main trait that distinguishes him from the other zombies (aside from looking like Elvis): he's huge. Pretty unsettling if you go a while without noticing. ![]() If you look closely at the loading screen for the Mushroom Samba portions of Mariska's level, you can make out her visage flashing in the center of the screen.It perfectly embodies a "bad trip", and just keeps getting more and more unnerving. Mariska's boss fight is possibly the creepiest part of the game.By the time "Rosalind" starts giggling in a horribly creepy fashion, you know something's definitely not right. I mean YOU." It then cuts to black as we hear everyone screaming, followed by a loud *CRUNCH*. If you failed to rescue all classmates, then the cutscene you get after the credits shows everyone coming home to find that Mom is now a zombie.She and Lewis are the only ones who will regenerate health, when the player fails to strike in a certain amount of time.She and Josey are the only ones that have a time limit.She is the only boss that regenerates their health.In phase three, the attacks used by Mariska have many references that relate to historical anti-war protests and the 'hippie' counter-culture, reflective of her dress and personality.This is the only boss battle that involves Juliet to exclusively use the "Chainsaw Blaster" to defeat a boss (except when initiating finishing strikes).It disappears after the boss battle begins and reappears at the end. Before the boss battle occurs, Mariska's voice appears to have a surreal, echoing tone in the cutscene.When she is defeated, Juliet will cut her by aiming for her collar bone, beheading and defeating her. These attacks include an enlarged version of her hand, rainbow-colored butterflies, firework bombs and a rocket ship. She then conjures attacks that emulate certain events or deep thoughts of Mariska. Mariska will then tear herself once again to multiply, but in this phase there are eight of her. When defeated by Juliet, she is sliced in half a second time. Not only is she able to bubble blast in this phase, but also complicate her with attacks with tractors and Chicken heads attached to elongated, mechanical necks. This phase begins when Mariska reveals that she can multiply herself by tearing in half at the seams. Once Juliet defeats her, she slices her in half. Mariska uses long-ranged attacks such as shooting bubbles that try to entrap Juliet and decrease Juliet's health. She then reveals herself to them and welcomes them to her "world" and the battle begins. The phase starts right after Mariska (disguised as Rosalind), lures Juliet into the fight. Significant changes occur with the background during phase 3. The rest of the stage is surrounded by a dark, kaleidoscope-patterned background. In the middle of the platform lies what appears to be a portal, as Juliet and Mariska manage to enter the area through there. Juliet lands on a platform that is a combination of school buses clumped into one circular form, with eight American flags on the side. When Juliet reaches the area, they are presented with a psychedelic area. As Juliet and Nick get tricked into the bus that Mariska (disguised as Rosalind) is controlling, Mariska lures them into her mind. ![]()
