Line 30:
* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: Mike dies in Vicki's arms after being shot, but Henry hits the [[Reset Button]] on the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] and he's fine.
* [[Dropped Glasses]]: Though in this case, Vicki has a spare pair and they're really just to let Mike know she was in the area.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Henry. Not only is he a [[Bishonen]] vampire with sexy curly hair and a tragic romantic past, but he spent large quantities of the story with [[Shirtless Scene|his shirt off or ripped to shreds]], lounging/writhing around in bed (again shirtless). He's also artistic, multitalented, superstrong, cute, chivalrous, and has a lot of funny stories about his past.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: [[Danny Trejo|Pacha Camac]] is an [[Mayincatec|Incan]] priest who has himself mummified so that he can be resurrected in the future.
* [[Fakin' MacGuffin]]: In "Norman", the heroes Vicki and Henry are forced to give a magic dagger to the demonic villain Norman when he kidnaps Vicki's secretary and holds her hostage. Norman needed the dagger to complete a spell to release the uber-demon Asteroth into the world. However, unknown to the audience, Vicki and Henry had first taken the dagger to a priest to have it blessed before they gave it to Norman, so that when he used it, his spell of summoning failed and he was sucked back down to Hell.
Line 38:
* [[Game Face]]: Henry extends fangs, and his eyes go black.
* [[Goth]]: Vicki's assistant Coreen is a fairly well adjusted Goth. She even has an episode where she gets Vicki to solve murders at her Goth club.
* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]: In "5:55". Done at night on this show, of course. It's not entirely clear what actually causes the loop, but it seems to be triggered by {{Spoiler|opening Pandora's Box}}.
* [[Hollywood Darkness]]: Appears when Vicki and Henry enter a barn at night and Vicki starts going on about how she can't see. This trope is justified in-universe by Vicki's retinitis pigmentosa making it seem darker than it actually was, and additionally by Henry (and the were-panther antagonist's) supernaturally acute night vision.
* [[Hollywood Exorcism]]: Coreen is possessed in the final episode by [[Big Bad|Astaroth]], forcing Henry to seek the help of a priest who has done this before. An obvious [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Exorcist]]''. {{spoiler|[[It Got Worse|It doesn't go well.]]}}.
