New description:

 The original game has an option for "spooky" animation mode which as far
 as I can tell amounts to rendering animations (walking around the house,
 some GUI elements) in the game with a greyscale palette.

 Not everything is in greyscale. The movies --the intro movie, from the
 weather report and after, and the segments when solving puzzles-- are
 still in-color. The cursor animated icons are in-color. The puzzle related
 parts (when in puzzle-mode) are in-color. And the text when saving or
 loading a game is red and yellow.

 This mode also, from what I recall from when playing the game back in the
 '90s, was far less taxing on the PC hardware so it ran much better on a
 low end PC (for the game's requirements which were quite demanding).

 I am attaching screenshots from this greyscale "spooky" mode.
