Line 3: ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''The Midnight Meat Train'' provides examples of ===~~ * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The short story takes place over a very short period of time: Leon complains about the city in narration, bumps into and spills coffee on someone (who turns out to be {{spoiler\|the killer}}), reads about the "Subway Slasher", and the next day is trapped in a subway car with him -- cue climax. The movie pads out the story to build suspense and give Leon more character development. * [[An Aesop]]: Debatable, but it certainly seems to be influenced by Barker's vegetarianism, and dislike for New York City. You can easily enjoy it without caring about either of these things, though. Line 23 ⟶ 22: * [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: Mahogany's motivation for not killing Leon right away, it would seem. * [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Anyone who works for the Elders, apparently. * [[Invisible Advertising]]: See [[Screwed Byby the Network]]. * [[Legacy Character]]: The Butcher. * [[Ludicrous Gibs]]. Line 35 ⟶ 34: * [[Rain of Blood]]. * [[Room Full of Crazy]]: Once Leon becomes obsessed with "the Butcher". * [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: The movie was utterly fucked over after Lion's Gate came under new management, and the new CEO deliberately killed off all the projects his predecessor was championing.

There was a campaign by Bloody-Disgusting and a few other horror sites to buy as many tickets as possible to make a point, but it was too little, too late. * [[Sinister Subway]]: Well, ''duh''. * [[Spoiler Title]]: The last track on the soundtrack CD is called "{{spoiler\|Leon The Butcher}}". * [[Subways Suck]]: Much worse than usual, but also [[Playing ~~With~~with a Trope\|played with]]. During Mahogany's second kill scene, the husband is busy reassuring his wife that [[Tempting Fate\|the subway is perfectly safe, and that those stories are all outdated]]. * [[Technically a Smile]]: The wicked little grin Mahogany gives Leon on the train. * [[Town ~~With~~with a Dark Secret]]: New York City! {{reflist}} Line 47 ⟶ 46: [[Category:The Midnight Meat Train]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Films With Recuts]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Midnight Meat Train, The}}
