Aw, I was hoping not to lose a nom this soon. :(

For what it's worth (minor spoilers): The Eye of Cthulhu has a chance of attacking near the start of every night until you first defeat it, once you get your health up to a certain point. There's definitely been occasions when I've been underprepared for a boss fight and the telltale message alerting you of its imminent attack has given me the chills. That would only be exacerbated if I was playing on one of Terraria's harder character difficulties, particularly the highest, roguelite difficulty where one death ends your entire character.

Of course I'm biased, but Terraria is one of my favorite games ever. The variably subtle horror slant of a large portion of its lore and visual design is part of the reason why, though admittedly you're right that its gameplay typically doesn't reflect those aspects much.
