Snooker films are few and far between. Snooker musicals, even more so. But a snooker musical vampire flick? With a main character that stylises himself after Billy the Kid? Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire is the definition of one-of-a-kind, and an immediate Cult Classic.

Tropes used in Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire include:
- Crowd Song: Quack Quack.
- Down to the Last Play: With eight frames a piece, the final game comes down to the final ball.
- Genre Busting: It's a comedic sports-drama-musical-horror.
- Miracle Rally: The Kid is down eight frames in the seventeen frame game before he manages to turn it around.
- No Budget: It's clear that whatever budget the film had was used in securing the (excellent) musical and acting talent, as most of the film is shot in back-alleys or barely decorated rooms. One scene which is presented as an arcade has all the machines turned away from the camera, so all that's shown is plain black cabinets.
- Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: The titular vampire isn't quite evil, just a massive jerk.
- Throwing the Fight: The Kid's manager is initially ordered to make this happen, but he refuses.
- Training Montage: Complete with the song Practice Practice Practice.
- Underdogs Never Lose: The Kid manages to win, against all odds.
- Vampire Musicals
- Villain Song: I Bite Back.
