Line 70:
* [[Classical Movie Vampire]]: Mrs. Jeepers shows every sign of this, being a very suave and ladylike, and even bearing a [[Villainous Widows Peak|widow's peak]], her [[Vampire Vords|Eastern European accent]], her [[Large Ham|air for the dramatic]] when she's not being calm and menacing, and her outdated clothes.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Mr. Jenkins avoids wearing shoes, until his cabin is filled with wolfsbane, at which point he puts shoes on.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] - Although it may not have stood out in 1990, when ''Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots'' was published, modern vampire mythology often puts them into a sexual context, making one wonder what Mrs. Jeepers did to Eddie in the last chapter.
* [[Evil Albino]]: Mrs. Zork from ''Aliens Don't Wear Braces.'' She's implied to be an alien on a mission to steal color from Earth and bring it to her monochromatic home planet.
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: Averted with Mrs. Jeepers; she is said to have a thick accent, but it does not translate into text.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]] - Melody is always drawn with twintails, sometimes wearing a ponytail or braids within the story.
* [[Haunted House]]: The Clancy House, which Ms. Jeepers moves into in the first book, is described as this by the students.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each book features a title "[[Hello, Insert Name Here|<Insert Supernatural Creature Here>]] does not <Insert Mundane Task Uncharacteristic to Said Creature Here>".
* [[Informed Flaw]] - In Werewolves Don't Go To Summer Camp, Liza is described as "plump" and "chubby" a few times, despite this never being mentioned or seen in any books or pictures.
* [[Jerkass]] > [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Eddie, who is originally described as the school bully, often comes off as this.
* [[Lame Comeback]] - Eddie is prone to these.
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]] - The books rarely come to a concrete conclusion over whether someone is or is not the creature the kids think they are.
* [[Mind Control Eyes]] - Mrs. Jeepers' eyes flash green when she hypnotizes Eddie. (They also flash green threateningly when she's disciplining the children).
* [[The Mole]]: Allegedly, a vampire infiltrated the leprechauns' kingdom as the teacher of their children in order to take back the gem they stole and seal them in Ireland. It's heavily implied that Mrs. Jeepers was this vampire.
