* TheAloner: Taffy has to drag Lisa to come out to a house party with her because Lisa would rather stay at home and not interact with each other.

* AdrenalineMakeover: Witnessing the deaths committed by the Creature, as well as the his liking for darker clothes akin to his era, Lisa starts to give herself a more gothic, punk makeover to match the Creature's appearance.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lisa treads this line as the film progresses. While she never becomes a true {{Jerkass}}, she does become a bit more cooler and standoffish towards others.

* ACupAngst: Her boss at her job makes a comment always her being able to work on Saturdays. He chalks this up to her not being able to get a date, before making a comment about her being flatchested.
* AdultsAreUseless:
** Some neighbors who are sitting on their lawn reading while Lisa is screaming bloody murder as the Creature chases her across their lawn don't even bother to look up to see what is going on.
** Later, Taffy is on the side of the road covered in blood and clearly traumatized but a man driving by slow enough to clearly see her doesn't even give her a glance and keeps driving.

* BoyMeetsGhoul: As the trailer presents, the film is about a girl romancing a zombie boy.

* EarAche: The Creature's body is intact, but among its missing appendages is its right ear, which it is ashamed of not having. Later, after spontaneously killing Janet to protect Lisa, the Creature makes use of the body by cutting of Janet's ear and has Lisa reattach it for him.

* EvilMakeover: Lisa slowly starts to wear more black and darker themed clothes. She's also implied to get much [[EvilIsSexy more attractive]] as she embarks on a killing spree.

* EvilMakeover: Not really evil, but Lisa slowly starts to wear more black and darker themed clothes.

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: literally. After getting into the tanning bed at a high setting, Lisa roasts herself alive so she can be with the Creature forever. The final scene shows her now a resurrected zombie like the creature, wrapped in bandages while he reads to her]].

* ForYourOwnGood: Taffy takes it upon herself to bring Lisa to the party with her, reminding her stepsister that her doctor advised her to engage in social situations.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Trailers and posters for the film imply that Lisa falls for The Creature instantly and is trying to "build a perfect boyfriend" by killing people and stealing their body parts to attach them to him. While The Creature is in love with her from the moment of resurrection, she is justifiably disgusted with the idea of being romantically involved with a rotten, smelly corpse. The "killing and stealing the body parts" plot has little to do with romantic attachment and more to do with disposing of people who have wronged her while also making The Creature she has befriended whole. [[spoiler:They do eventually fall in love, but only after additional trips to the tanning bed result in him becoming much closer to a traditional human in terms of looks and mannerisms.]]

* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: While Janet was indeed a horrible and nasty woman, she was able to get remarried to Lisa's father. Taffy, her daughter, was absolutely worried sick about her disappearance, making clear that while she did love her, despite how the woman treated Lisa.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While she did indeed love her mother and was distraught about her disappearance/death, Taffy woul at least try to stand up to her for Lisa's sake, and did consider the woman to be a stuck-up bitch.

** In a negative light, Janet uses this justification to try to get Lisa placed in an asylum when the girl's alledged acts destroy a few of her cherished belongings.

* CovertPervert: Lisa is shown of all people. When woken up by Taffy, she is embarrassed to find her hand in her pants. Later, when the Creature finds a back massager in her closet, he tells her he probably wouldn't want to touch that. Later, when he uses it to massage her back, she tells him that he can use somewhere else, implying that she regularly uses it to pleasure herself.

* UnsuspectinlySoused: In an attempt to fit in at a party, Lisa downs an entire cup of beer she didn't know was spiked. She spends the rest of the night disoriented and hallucinating her travel between locations, after almost getting date raped at the party, but manages to make it home alright.

* DisproportionateRetribution: All Lisa has apparently done is break a mirror and some figurines, acting out to be sure but at least understandable given it's only been half a year since the gruesome murder of her mother, but Janet has no sympathy and demonizes her as an ungrateful psycho that needs to be institutionalized, and struck for protesting.

* AdultsAreUseless: The neighbors who are sitting on their lawn reading while Lisa is screaming bloody murder as the Creature chases her across their lawn don't even bother to look up to see what is going on.

* LightningCanDoAnything: The Creature was reanimated by a freak strike of green ball lightning to his grave. Further, body parts sewn onto him and electrified by Lisa's faulty tanning bed also reanimate and work perfectly.

* ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife: When Janet isn't acting put upon for dealing with Lisa and her job at the psych ward, she spends her afternoons listening to affirmations on her headphones, working out, and eating health products. She acts haughty towards door-to-door salesmen for even suggesting she needs their products to improve her household, as she does such an excellent job for herself.

* TragicKeepsake: Lisa carries her mother's rosary beads but finds it too morbid to wear them. She places them in the bust of the Creature's gravestone, and him returning them to her is how she recognizes him.
