Line 31:
** Made all the more horrifying since it's actually [[Body Horror|his own intestines morphed into a freakish monster and tearing out of him to attack a bystander]]
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: A minor example, but at the beginning of ''Evil Never Dies'', Morgana and Eric had another guy helping them rob the museum. He gets shot, and presumably killed, by a guard, and is never mentioned again afterward, either by Morgana or the reporters and officers covering the robbery
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: A list of all the "fucks" and other swears uttered in ''Evil Never Dies'' would be very long indeed.
** The scene with the homeless guy and pharmacist in ''Wishmaster''.
* [[Complete Immortality]]: The Djinn, who outright claims to be eternal, so someone can't just wish for him to destroy himself. The summoner also seems incapable of dying until the Djinn gets his wishes, since Morgana is completely unhurt after getting shot twice in ''Evil Never Dies''. The djinn gave it to her for free, in order to insure her survival for him. Averted in the last two film. Angels have swords that can kill Djinn or at least banish them back to the prison between worlds. One of the wishes in the final film is for a means that can kill Djinn.
Line 70:
* [[Story Reset]]: The first movie is finished up by having it 'never happen' with a single time-altering wish.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: While dealing his business in prison in the second movie, Djinn grants one inmates wish that his lawyer "would go fuck himself". [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: The Djinn tends to gradually [[One -Winged Angel|drop his human act]]. The first stage consists of him starting to talk in a deep hissing voice with [[Lip Lock|elongated stress]] on some syllables.
* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: The protagonist of Wishmaster 3 tries this by wishing for the aid of the [[Arch AngelArchangel Michael]]. It only partly works. Michael has a sword that can kill the Djinn, but only the summoner can actually kill the Djinn and can only use the sword once they become worthy. Michael spends most of the film with her running. Still, his healing powers are useful.
* [[Temporal Paradox]]: In the first film, the protagonist's solution for getting rid of the djinn creates a grandfather paradox.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Inverted. See [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]] for the classic horror icons that are a list of his victims.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Characters Finney, Beaumont, Derleth and Demerest in the first film are named after fifties sci-fi and horror writers.
* [[Three Wishes]]: For the one who awoke the Djinn.
