Line 33:
** Discussed about all those people who join the Hive in ''The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals''? Professor Hidgens explains the Hive killed them and reanimated them as zombies, with memories of the people they were. Paul finds himself succumbing in the climax after inhaling spores from the meteor, fighting it the whole time. {{spoiler|He blows up the meteor, but it doesn't kill the Hive}}.
** Wiggly has a thrall over adults, but {{spoiler|not children}}. Any adult in the vicinity of a Wiggly, with the exception of maybe Paul who finds the radio jingle annoying, starts wanting the toy by many means possible, and General McNamara that opts for shooting the nearest doll. It's seen most horrifyingly when Tom and Becky, shortly after being trapped in the mall movie theater, succumb to the thrall when seeing a frightened Hannah with a Wiggly that tries convincing her to sink into despair. She tries to reason with them, saying that Wiggly is a liar. It doesn't work, so Hannah has to hide. Tom only snaps out of it later when {{spoiler|Lex asks him if his son ever wanted a Wiggly in the first place, and he realizes that Tim never asked}}. Becky comes to her senses after {{spoiler|sedating herself with a needle she intended to use on Hannah}}.
* [[Chaos Entity]]: Wiggly is an abstract force of chaos, speaking through numerous Tickle-Me-Wigglys and Uncle Wiley. {{spoiler|Wiggly had humanity orchestrate its birth onto the planet Earth. When that fails, thanks to sisters Hannah and Lex fighting back when the cultists capture them at different times in the play. Wiggly tricks the President into firing a nuclear missile at Russia and starting World War III. With that said, as the survivors of the Black Friday massacre gather and wait for midnight to pass, the clairvoyant Hannah sings that she sees a possible tomorrow, that it might come. The play ends before we know for sure if the world is ending.}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: In "Yellow Jacket," the reason why Lex doesn't believe that Webby is real is that Webby was her imaginary friend as a kid. She assumes that Hannah as a kid saw Lex talking to Webby, and picked up the habit. {{spoiler|When Hannah pushes Webby out of her mind, Webby goes to Lex, and helps reactivate her powers to save Hannah and stop the apocalypse}}.
* [[Chekhov's Gag]]: Grace Chastity has the unfortunate label of being a "nerdy prude" in every continuity. {{spoiler|She uses this fact to rescue Steph and Pete from Lumberaxe and succeeds in taming him, since she is a prude. Lumberaxe makes her the new counselor of Abstinence Camp, and she takes to it happily}}.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]:
** ''Black Friday'' has the Tickle-Me-Wiggly, a new toy that is in so much demand that the one Lex plans to auction online could fetch up to ''7000''. Any adult who sees a Tickle-Me-Wiggly wants one, no matter the cost, and some resort to murder to get it on Black Friday, the day of the year when every adult can purchase one. When local toy shop owner Frank tries to reason with the mobs by pointing out that he can ask for a rush order from the manufacturer, their ringleader slits his throat in response. (Wiggly is actually an [[Eldritch Abomination]] using this hatred to emerge on Earth in a new form and [[Take Over the World]].)
** The ''Nightmare Time'' episode "Watcher World" has Blinky doing the same thing in the titular theme park, with Blinky plushies. Bill bankrupts himself trying to win a Blinky doll for Alice from a "Test Your Strength" game.
* [[Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are]]: A brainwashed Becky and Tom sing this in "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaiG2LvywJE Do You Want to Play]?" when they try to lure Hannah out of hiding to grab the Wiggly doll that she's holding. Becky hides a syringe behind her back as she and Tom walk through the audience aisles, complete with Tom jumpscaring a random audience member. Yes, it's as creepy as it sounds.
* [[Cruel Twist Ending]]:
** In ''The Guy Who didn't Like Musicals'', it seems that despite everything, {{spoiler|Paul and Emma both survived the musical apocalypse and she can go to her dream farm in Colorado. Then Paul starts singing while hugging Emma.}}
** "Hey Melissa!" seemingly ends with Paul rescued {{spoiler|from Melissa's animal cult and getting hospital treatment. Then it turns out Melissa broke him so thoroughly that he busts her out of the hospital where she's recovering from a gunshot and promises to be her pet after regular work hours.}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: ''Nightmare Time'' gets to focus on different characters featured in the musical:
** "Watcher's World" narrows its focus to Bill and Alice as he drags his daughter to a theme park for a father-daughter bonding trip.
