* DramaticallyDelayedDrug: Sally spikes Jimmy Angelov's tequila with belladonna, hoping to knock him out so she and Gilly can escape from him before the situation gets any worse. Because he's such a big man, it doesn't kick in until after Jimmy has pulled over, gone to the bathroom, and attempted to sexually assault Gilly, collapsing on top of her. [[spoiler: It's only then that they realize that Sally, lacking a measuring cup, accidentally gave Jimmy too much and [[AccidentalMurder killed him]], kicking off the real drama of the film.]]

--> '''Aunt Jet:''' Of course not, dear. The nudity is entirely optional, [[NoodleIncident as you well remember]]!

* RealAfterAll: The reality of the Owenses' magical powers is never in doubt, but those powers are relatively subtle. The town rumor that the Owens Women fly from the roof of their house every Halloween seems like a ridiculous exaggeration by stupidly superstitious people. Nope.
