* LaserBlade: An outtake has Carr playing with a lightsaber in a [[ShoutOut shout out]] to ''Franchie/StarWars''.

* AngryFistShake: Vrotheus does this to Herbert after Herbert flies through him in a {{Superman}}-style flying ram. Yes, this does [[MakesSenseInContext make sense in context]].

* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Carr [[spoiler:pushes his bond with Fancy [[UpToEleven to the max]]]], in order to [[spoiler:banish Vrotheus]], his voice starts echoing in an odd fashion.

* LaserBlade: An outtake has Carr playing with a lightsaber in a [[ShoutOut shout out]] to StarWars.

* VampireVannabe: In an outtake, a goth accuses Herbert of being this. Yes, you heard me. A ''goth'' accused an actual ''vampire'' that he was a vampire wannabe. He even sarcastically wonders why Herbert doesn’t just [[Literature/{{Twilight}} ‘toss some sparkles on himself’]]. It, unsurprisingly, goes downhill from there.

* BattleInTheRain: The climax happens in middle of a storm, [[RooftopConfrontation on top of Fancy’s roof]] when Carr and Company battle [[spoiler:Vrotheus the Vile]]. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler:Vrotheus]] [[JustifiedTrope planned it that way]], [[InvokedTrope deliberately choosing]] to appear at that time for the ambiance.

The goblins, Mr. and Mrs. Scruvy, are fine wonderful people; though it's best not to get on the wrong side of the missus. Oh, and don't worry about the vampire, Count Willborough, he's quite nice! (Probably best to keep some garlic on you, though.) There's also Tisa, who's on the short side. Don't mention it though; people who can change into eight-foot tall jinn are best left alone. There's also at least ''one'' resident you can be guaranteed not to meet, as Ms. Morly never leaves her room (Considering the nature of the building's other residents, you should count your blessings here...). Stan the orge will be no trouble, as long as you avoid his poetry readings. Don't forget to visit Gordie the gryphon, he's a real pussycat! (Or about seventy percent of one, at least.) Sorry, Mrs. Fyfield the manager is out at the moment ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial The rumours she broke her leg in a murder attempt are completely exaggerated]].), but the replacement manager Carr is here to help! (He'll see straight through you, so try not to lie to him, will you?) Oh, ''no'', the dark spirit isn't a resident! (Of course, ''he'' may have a different view of the matter...)

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The dark spirit, Vortheus the Vile is more or less a demon, being a spirit with a natural bent for evil and destruction. Is also rather a LargeHam.]]

* Curses: [[spoiler:Vrotheus]] places hexes all over the place throughout the story, and a death-curse on [[spoiler:Tisa]] as well.

----

* LargeHam: [[spoiler:Vrotheus the Vile]] goes all in when he finally appears, hamming up every line. Somewhat surprisingly, considering that, he ''still'' [[spoiler:somehow manages to seem a genuine, legitimate, dangerous threat]].

* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Carr [[spoiler:pushes his bond with Fancy [[UpToEleven to the max]]]], in order to [[spoiler:banish Vrotheus]], his voice starts echoing in an odd fashion.
