• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Michael, Nanook, Grandpa and Sam each get one.
  • In The Thirst, Edgar douses Peter with water which he simultaneously blesses into holy water
• Crowning Music of Awesome: "Cry Little Sister"
  • The ENTIRE soundtrack.
  • Echo & The Bunnymen's cover of "People Are Strange" certainly stands out.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Subverted. In The Thirst, Sam is stated to have died when he attacked Edgar at the end of The Tribe, with the film's release several months after his death making it seem like a Real Life Writes the Plot, except shooting had finished prior to Haim's death.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Take a look at the drying vampire gore on the heroes' clothes when they flee the hotel. It's strangely...sparkly.
• Ho Yay: David and Michael. Just...David and Michael. David pretty much seduces him in a strange blood drinking sequence, half hypnotises him with continuous usage of his name, ignores the pretty love interest in favor of Michael, and spends the whole movie trying desperately to get Michael to see things his way. Never mind David's insistence leads to him dropping his guard, therefore leading to his death... he never makes a move to kill Michael, even when his victim blindly refuses to become a full vampire. David actually looks genuinely hurt by this rejection. The amount of eyesex and shimmering sexual tension in this film concerning these two is just amazing. This could translate to Foe Yay as well.
• Memetic Mutation: All the god damn vampires!
• Nightmare Fuel: The attack on the fratboys in the first movie. Even worse when you wonder how many other times they have done it.
• Retroactive Recognition/Hey, It's That Guy!: David is Jack Bauer... Which actually explains a lot about Jack.
  • Bill S. Preston Esq. is one of his Mooks.
  • Taylor Townsend is the female lead in The Tribe.
• Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Given that it set the tone for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and True Blood, viewers forget how different this was when it first came out.
• Shocking Swerve: In the original film, the reveal that David's not the head vampire; it's really Max, the mild mannered local business owner & current boyfriend to Sam & Michael's mother. However, the groundwork is there, it's just done so subtly that you likely won't notice them on the first viewing.
  • In The Thrist, DJ X is set-up as the Alpha Vampire, it's revealed towards the end that it's really Peter Lieber, and most of the film was an Evil Plan so he could turn Edgar into his personal hitman.
