Line 4:
* [[Awesome Music]]: "Omphale's Spinning Wheel" by Camille-Saint-Saens for the radio version, and Jerry Goldsmith's beautiful score for he movie.
* [[Fair for Its Day]]: While many parts of the pulps are horribly racist, the Shadow is also notable for having an Asian and an African-American as agents at a time when they would usually have been villains or useless.
* [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop]]: The radio episode "The Spider Boy." Thanks to [[Values Dissonance]], we are told that [[Domestic Abuse]] is a minor peccadillo that can be solved simply by apologizing to the victim...but that owning an unusual pet (a large spider) that at no time harms or even threatens to harm a human being is a horrific crime deserving of a [[Karmic Death]].
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Khan and to an extent Lamont himself.
* [[Narm]]: The Lanes are hypnotized by a... cigarette billboard.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:
** Literally. Lamont's nightmare that he tears off his own face, revealing Shiwan Khan's undeneath.
** Come to think of it, Shiwan Khan [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant|in general]]. Any guy who can hypnotise you into killing yourself and does so for fun is pretty NF.
