John Dies at the End/YMMV

"John: "Remember, these are children. Aim low.""
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Is John the plucky sidekick, a complete jerk, or more of a hero than the narrator? One was provided by John's creator, portraying him as a guy from a broken home who, rather than Wangst about his past, copes with over-the-top humor.
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The Movie is going to be directed by John Coscarelli of Phantasm and Bubba Ho Tep fame? Paul Giamatti as Arnie? Clancy Brown as Dr. Marconi? Doug Jones? Angus Scrimm? What is there not to rejoice about?
 * Crossing the Line Twice... three times... eight times... twelve to fifteen... per page...


 * Nightmare Fuel and Paranoia Fuel: Pretty much any creature described in the book is a combination of hilarious and terrifying. Even outside the supernatural, Dave and various monsters' speeches about the horrors of life itself are disturbingly reasonable. Warning: Do NOT try to read this story to cure insomnia.
 * "There are always some who...resist progress."  The scene is extremely unsettling to imagine.
