Line 105:
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: The party-goers are cursed to dance until they die. The curse ends when the witches die.
** Also, Binx and Billy are allowed to die.
* [[Not Evil, Just Misunderstood]]: {{spoiler|Billy, unless two-timing his lover can be considered "evil". The whole movie, the protagonists (and the viewers) assume he's trying to kill them on Winnifred's behalf, and he can't speak because his mouth is sewn shut. When he finally manages to burn away the stiches and is able to talk, his true loyalties can be known, showing him to be [[Good All Along]].}}
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: The Sandersons may seem comically bumbling about 80 percent of the time, but you'd be wise not to mess with them when they ''really'' get angry. Sarah in particular seems a harmless, ditzy woman through most of the movie. Then she starts singing sweetly, luring children out, and you ''know'' she's deadly.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Billy reacts in this way ''twice'', each time just before he (literally) loses his head.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Those skull-faced jazzers/rockers at the Halloween party were pretty cool.
** It may take a second viewing to realize that these performers segued from "Witchcraft" into "I Put a Spell on You" shortly before Winifred took over the show.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Given how much trouble the three witches gave the protagonists, it seems ''quite'' a commendable feat that the mob at the beginning was able to subdue them and hang them from the gallows.
* [[Painful Transformation]]: Thackery Binx, intentionally invoked by the Sanderson Sisters.
* [[Perky Goth]]: Sarah, a rare villainous one.
