The Backrooms Effect 

Adding unnecessary details/mechanics that dilute the creep factor of a concept (or game) that's already creepy and/or interesting in its own right.

"This story adaption would have been so much better if the author didn't pull The Backrooms Effect and add extreme gore zombies, and time travel to the story."
