* OnceIsNotEnough: Trumbull hits Gillie once on the head with a poker, and Gillie falls to the ground unconscious. Trumbull then mistakenly assumes he's killed him and doesn't bother to check or to finish him off.

* DependingUponTheUndependable: Gillie's only apparent skill is picking locks, which he has presumably used in Trumbull's previous break-ins, but doesn't get to use in the film as in one case he's trying to pick an unlocked door, and in the other case there's a bolt on the inside. In every other way, he is incompetent and clumsy. Yet Trumbull keeps bringing him along on every break-in, and has him follow him inside instead of just opening the door for him--providing ample opportunities for Gillie to knock things over and otherwise cause problems. He also often asks Gillie to do physical work for him that Gillie clearly struggles with--Gillie is short and fat while Trumbull is much taller and would have a much easier time climbing that wall himself, for instance. But Trumbull is too lazy to do anything if he thinks he can make Gillie do it, even if he'd do a better job himself.

* CuttingCorners: By dumping bodies into the ground so the same coffin can be reused for the next funeral! Trumbull has been doing this for 13 years. He also apparently hasn't embalmed anyone in six years, while presumably still charging for it as if he was.

* SexlessMarriage : Trumbull is repulsed by even the idea of having sex with Amaryllis. She seems to still have some feelings and some attraction towards him, and they do sleep in the same bed (when Trumbull's not passed out drunk on the sofa), but her one attempt to get him to have sex with her is completely rejected by Trumbull, who prefers to spend his time counting his money and says he won't have sex with her "as long as there's liquor in the house". He even wipes his hands after [[spoiler: strangling her]] as if disgusted by having touched her.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Peter Lorre uses his usual accent even though the surname "Gillie" does not immediately suggest an Eastern European immigrant. (Vincent Price, meanwhile, ''is'' bothering with the accent to some extent, with several lines sounding noticeably less sophisticated than his usual way of speaking as he portrays a small-town New Englander, such as asking Gillie if the "winders" are locked.)
