* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Constance locks Adelaide in a closet full of mirrors after she interrupts Constance's "business meeting". She also chains her son Beau up in the attic because of a genetic deformity. It's further implied that she physically--and certainly emotionally--abused Tate.}}

* [[Enfant Terrible]]: {{spoiler|The baby-thing in the basement that attacks [[Alpha Bitch|Leah]], nearly attacks Violet, and is responsible for the death of the twins. If Tate can be believed, this is Thaddeus, the son of Charles and Nora Montgomery, killed in revenge for an abortion and [[Came Back Wrong|resurrected using a ''still-beating heart'']] by Charles.}}

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: [[Axe Crazy|All]] [[Stalker With a Crush|things]] [[Heroic Sociopath|considered]], Tate has a rather large fanbase.

* [[Evil Redhead]]: The twins, though they were more [[Jerkass]] than outright evil.

** Moira, who appears as a young woman to Ben and seems to be trying to seduce him. Somewhat subverted in that all she really wants {{spoiler|is for someone to find her bones so she can pass on.}}

* [[Just a Flesh Wound]]: When {{spoiler|Ben was shot, he}} didn't go to the hospital because it was just a through and through.

** Justified, as being shot in the thigh is one of the places you can take a bullet, without sustaining a terrible injury.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|The entire Harmon family, Hayden, Travis, and several others are killed and return as ghosts. Adelaide is the only one who died who did not return as a ghost, as she died off-property.}}

* [[Kiss Kiss Slap]]

*** Took a turn for the worst in episode 4. {{spoiler|He really wants his thousand dollars. In episode 5, he willingly teams with [[Psycho Ex Girlfriend|Hayden]] to get revenge on Ben.}}

**** {{spoiler|Larry claims the whole reason he wanted the Harmons out of the house was so he could stay close to Constance. When she discovers this, Constance is fairly disgusted.}}

** {{spoiler|Resolved now that Violet is also [[Dead All Along]].}}

*** {{spoiler|And promptly [[Ship Sinking|sunk]], when Violet finds out Tate killed Chad and Patrick, and raped her mother.}}

* [[Swiss Cheese Security]]: Even discounting the ghosts, it seems there is always at least one person in the house who shouldn't be there. The only thing missing is the [[The Calls Are Coming From Inside the House|creepy phone calls]], which show up in the Halloween episode.

* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: {{spoiler|Tate causes all sorts of tangles when it's revealed that he is the Rubber Man and the one who had sex with Vivien}}.

* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: [[Up to Eleven]]. Her first day at school, Violet is confronted by a group of girls who give her an insane rant for smoking on campus. [[Alpha Bitch|Leah]] tries to make her ''eat'' her cigarette and promptly screams "YOU ARE SO DEAD!" in a high-pitched wail once Violet manages to get away.

** Minor subversion in the fact that even Leah's friends thought she was going too far in trying to make Violet eat the cigarette.

* [[Wham Episode]]: "Rubber Man". {{spoiler|The Rubber Suit Man's identity is revealed, Hayden tries to marshal the ghosts against Vivien and Ben, and Ben has Vivien committed.}}

** Less of an example, but still wham-worthy, is "Smoldering Children". {{spoiler|Larry takes the fall for Constance, who is suspected of murdering Travis, and it's revealed that Violet did not survive her overdose.}}

* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Violet, eventually. {{spoiler|The rest of the house's ghosts start appearing to her, but Tate instructs her to tell them to go away when they do. They listen. Of course, by then she's actually [[Dead All Along|one of them too]], but doesn't know it at that time.}}

* [[White Dwarf Starlet]]: A subversion. Constance never quite made it as a movie star, but the way she acts puts you in mind of a vintage film star.

* [[X Meets Y]] - ''[[American Beauty]]'' meets ''[[The Shining]]''.
