Line 10:
* '''Parodied''': The vampires are all altruistic saints who don't even need to (or want to) feed on human blood, and Valerie is a delusional psychotic who can't see that.
* '''Deconstructed''': With the discovery of good vampires, Valerie questions whether evil is something that can be forced on you, and whether she should try to save the people who are now evil vampires.
* '''Reconstructed''': [[Blue and Orange Morality|The division between good and bad vampires isn't one of ethics but practicality]]. The "good" ones don't care about human life, they're simply more interested in maintaining the [[Masquerade]], and excess body-bags are bad for that. Valerie has to decide whether to [[Enemy Mine|ally]] with the good vamps to wipe out the evil ones is [[Deal
* '''Zig Zagged''': The vampire valerie is hunting isn't evil, just a LARPer, but the vampire attacking him out of the shadows sure is! Except it turns out the LARPer [[Dead Little Sister|killed the vampire's mortal daughter]], and otherwise he's nice.
* '''Averted''': All vampires are hateful sociopaths with [[The Soulless|no souls]]. The differences among them are simply behavioral patterns designed to facilitate different hunting styles, such as aggressive "evil" vampires and subversive "good" vampires.
Line 20:

* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': A vampire [[Hannibal Lecture]]'s Valerie over how by objectifying vampires into monsters, [[Not So Different|she's no different than they are]] since they view people as cattle.
* '''Played For Laughs''': The good vampires are [[Minion
* '''Played For Drama''': Valerie is turned into a vampire and is taken in by a good vampire, who shows her things from their perspective. She later has to suffer as all her old friends try to kill her.
