* NothingIsScarier: The slowly opening door to the empty closet after Mrs. Haskell discovers Timmy's body. Nobody ever pops out, but the anticipation is there.
* PoliceAreUseless: Somewhat averted. While the killer does get away with a few murders at first, Chief Brady does figure out who's doing the killing pretty soon. His decision to go alone and armed to the university without backup however was pretty reckless and gets him captured.
* PowerOutagePlot: Galesburg has apparently been suffering recurring power outages for dramatic effect. Bryan is killed during one of them.
* ProductPlacement: You would've thought the movie was sponsored by Coke from how often it appears in scenes but director Michael Laughlin was apparently just a big fan.
* PsychoKnifeNut: The killer always uses a knife despite other methods arguably being more practical and less conspicuous.
