Line 20:
* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Dad in the framing story, as per the [[Stephen King]] [[Drinking Game]].
* [[Asshole Victim]]: By the bucket-full.
** Nathan Grantham who among his various crimes, killed his daughter's husband and got what he deserved. Till he came [[Back from the Dead]] that is.
** YMMV on whether they died or not {{spoiler| in the end,}} but Richard and Cass Grantham qualify. Richard being condescending towards his sister's husband and Cass being a spoiled brat.
** Harry Wentworth is considered a minor one, since it was his affair with Richard Vicker's wife Becky that caused both to be buried up to their necks in sand and having the tide wash over them.
** Richard Vickers himself, for committing such a horrible deed above.
** Wilma "Billy" Northrup, a drunken socialite who emotionally abuses her husband Henry, to the point where he daydreams killing her. {{Spoiler|When Dexter Stanley tells him about the monster in the crate, he sees it as a golden opportunity to do it.}}
** Upson Pratt, During a hostile takeover he drove a company owner to suicide. He also treats those he considers beneath him, like bugs that deserve to get stepped on. {{spoiler| It's no wonder the cockroaches were interested in eating him from the inside and out.}}
* [[Author Appeal]]: Stephen King adores [[EC Comics]], and this project (and the related comic book tie-in) is his homage.
* [[Back From the Dead]]
