Line 16:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: It's Adrienne frickin' Barbeau!
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Nathan Grantham is the dad from hell. Also, the little boy's father in the framing story is a real scumbag, too.
{{quote| That's why God created fathers.}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: Richard, even as he's extracting his revenge. He talks to Harry almost like he's meeting an old friend he hasn't seen in a while.
* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Dad in the framing story, as per the [[Stephen King]] [[Drinking Game]].
Line 36:
* [[Death by Racism]]: It isn't really what kills Pratt, but his racist comments to his apartment's ironically-named superintendent, Mr. White, [[Kick the Dog|don't endear him to us any]].
* [[Defiant to the End]]: Richard as he receives his [[Karmic Death]].
{{quote| ''{{spoiler|I CAN HOLD MY BREATH! I CAN HOLD MY BREATH A '''LOOOONG''' TIME!}}''}}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Even considering the fact that [[EC Comics]] morality has a much lower threshold for bloody revenge, it's still hard to see what Hank Blaine did to deserve his death.
** Or Jordy Verrill, for that matter.
Line 45:
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Quite possibly the thing in the crate. It's [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] and apparently doesn't need food.
* [[Famous Last Words]] / [[Look Behind You!]]:
{{quote| '''Wilma:''' Same old Henry; afraid of your own shadow! You know what, Henry, you’re a regular barnyard exhibit. Sheep’s eyes, chicken guts, piggy friends……, and shit for brains! No good at departmental politics, no good at makin’ money, no good at makin’ an impression on anybody,….and no good at all in BED! When was the last time ya got it up, Henry? Huh? When was the last time you were a man in our bed? Now get outta my way, Henry, or I swear to God you’ll be wearin’ your balls for earrings!}}
** "Just tell it to call you Billie!"
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Ed Harris, ''disco dancing''. Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Line 59:
* [[If I Can't Have You]]: Richard admits he's no longer in love with his wife, but she belongs to ''him'', and he ''keeps'' what he ''owns''.
* [[I Know You're Watching Me]]: Harry's [[Famous Last Words]].
{{quote| '''Harry:''' RICHARD! I'm going to ''get'' you. I'm going to ''get'' you.}}
* [[Immune to Bullets]]
* [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]: Henry has two of these about killing his wife, Billie. The first is possibly a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
Line 72:
* [[Neck Snap]]: Nathan Grantham unleashes the ultimate neck-snapping kill with no effort whatsoever.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Harry when seeing the incoming tide.
{{quote| '''Harry:''' ... Oh my God...}}
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Despite being "older than God," Great Aunt Bedelia actually looks a decade younger than Aunt Sylvia.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]
