I dunno about you, but Laughing Coffin actually gave me chills down my spine whenever they showed up in the novel. I thought that whatever the author did to make them seem scary worked quite well. Probably related to the same attribute that made in-game deaths of minor characters feel more real than the real deaths of minor characters in other works of fiction.
So while they don't show up often, they really dominate the scene whenever they do. I hope the anime can try to recapture a bit of that after their failure to do so in episode 6.
