* [[Break the Cutie]]: "Heart of Fire" is a good example of this: the ultra-handsome, charming and quirky Henry Fitzroy is physically tortured by a mad priest, who beats, drains and starves the vampire into confessing his sins so the priest can kill him. The priest also enthusiastically Breaks the Cutie by showing him videos of his ex-girlfriend betraying him, trying to
* [[Charm Person]]: Henry,
* [[Chinese Vampire]]: While not present, they are mentioned by Coreen in reference to "Illuminacion del sol," a sun-shaped weapon that paralyzes a vampire when stuck in his or her chest. Despite the Spanish name, possibly given by its previous owner [[Vampire Hunter|Monsignor Javier Mendoza]], it was actually created at the request of a Chinese emperor to battle jiangshi. Given that the weapon works on a Western vampire, it can be assumed that these jiangshi are the same, although the number of supernatural beings in existence in this verse could indicate otherwise.

* [[Literally Shattered Lives]]: [[All Myths Are True|Medusa]] seduces and petrifies young men. When Vicki takes the statue of her latest victim, she sends a [[Mook]] to destroy the evidence, which he does by smashing the poor kid into pieces. After Medusa is dead, her victims get better, except for the smashed one.
