{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes within the game include: ===
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Take a wild guess.
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: that can eat your neck
* [[Eye Scream]]: You can die with your eyes torn out by a hawk, you can get them fried, you can get one of them burned by acid...
* [[The Chew Toy]]: If you are a gore fan, the protagonist, as you can let him die in a lot of gruesome ways.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: At one point in the haunted house, you can join a lovely young woman in bed. Is it sexy? At the beginning, yes. At the end? '''''[[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|HELL NO.]]''''' {{spoiler|There's a reason one [[YouTube]] comment referred to the woman as "Lamprey head"...[http://usera.imagecave.com/Tokenmaster/nonononononoNO.jpg see for yourself.]}}
* [[Giant Spider]]: There's a gigantic black widow in ''Elvira II''.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: The games seemed to take a sadistic pleasure in showing the player gruesome death screens depending on how and where they were killed.
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: '''''Boy howdy.'''''
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
* [[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Gun]]: In the second game there are three places where Elvira may be hidden; no matter in what order you reach them, the first two Elviras will be fake and transform into monsters.
* [[The Problem Withwith Licensed Games]]: Averted, as both games were very well reviewed and won numerous awards, some even being "Adventure Game of the Year".
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]
* [[Unwinnable Byby Design]]/[[Unwinnable By Mistake]]: Even if you ''do'' avoid the many, many pitfalls, you might still lose something vital in a fireball trap.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: The witch you encounter early on in ''The Jaws of Cerberus'' goes down like this. Complete with her one eyeball flying toward the screen!
