Line 87:
* [[Mind Screw]]: How much of it is deliberate and how much is Coscarelli making it up as he goes along is unclear.
* [[Mirror Scare]]: The first film contains a classic example.
* [[Mugging the Monster]] A rare human example. In ''Phantasm Ravager'', Reggie loses the Cuda and tries to hitchhike his way back to the nearest town. A Cuda conveniently comes across him and picks him up. Reggie doesn't notice it at first, due to being weary from the walk, but realizes that it's Jody's Cuda and the man driving it stole it while he was looking for Mike. He makes small talk about owning a Cuda like this. Only his has a handgun in the console. The thief takes the bait and opens the console in an attempt to kill Reggie and keep the car. However he finds nothing. Only for Reggie to reveal that he lied and that the gun was in the Gloveglove box. Which he promptly opens, points at the thief and tells him to get out.

* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: The Tall Man. Though, to be fair, the extent of his powers is never made clear.
** The "Sentinel Spheres" (silver spheres) seem to do this on occasion. It's unknown exactly if different spheres have different weapons and other equipment (such as the "eye stalk sphere"), or if they're all flying Swiss army knives of death.
