Line 43:
* [[Deconstruction]] - ''[[The Midnight Meat Train]]'', at least in its film incarnation, is a huge deconstruction of slasher movies. Every single slasher movie trope used or referenced in it is either subverted or justified; the protagonists are responsible adults instead of rowdy teens, the authorities are useless because {{spoiler|they're working with the killer}}, and the supernatural slasher turns out to be {{spoiler|upholding an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] to keep an [[Eldritch Abomination]] out of our world}}.
* [[Demonic Invaders]]
* [[
* [[Fan Disservice]]
** There is a scene in the second book of Abarat, in which Leteo {{spoiler|asks Christopher Carrion, his master, for an antidote he needs; Carrion makes him beg for it and say all he wants is to serve his master, kicks him around a bit, and then tells him to lay on the ground and open his mouth.}}
