Line 9:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Spiders that live in webs don't normally leave them to hunt.
* [[Giant Spider]]: Technically, the spider is normal sized, it's Scott that's small, but from his POV, it ''is'' giant.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: William Schallert, as Scott's physician, in one of his earlier roles.
* [[Hollywood Science]]: Due to the [[Square -Cube Law]] but may have been mildly averted; see below.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: The trope namer of course
* [[Magic Pants]]: Completely averted. Scott's physical body gets smaller while his clothes don't. As a result, he is forced to wear children's clothes, doll clothes and the rags from his doll clothes.
* [[Mouse World]]: From the scenes in the dollhouse to being chased by the cat, and finally being trapped in the cellar. In the cellar, this is the epitome of the Mouse World. Scott is forced to eat crumbs from a stale cake, live inside a match box and fight off a spider.
* [[Narrating the Present]]
* [[Square -Cube Law]]: Quite possibly averted because Scott ''slowly'' shrinks, thus giving his body a chance to adapt.
