* MythologyGag: When coming up with a tagline for his story, Zack tries out ''Reader beware, you're in for a scare''...and promptly rejects it.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Alex points out that Zack already owns a computer. Zack still thinks typewriters are better for writing horror stories.

* DefensiveFeintTrap: Zackie and Alex are discussing about taking the typewriter with them out of the ruined antique store when the store's owner, Mrs. Carter, appears looking for intruders. She sweeps her flashlight beam around the room, looking. She eventually turns the flashlight off, her footsteps moved away, and the front door banged shut. Zackie does a CatharticExhalation, wondering if she is really gone. [[SneezeOfDoom But then Alex sneezed]], the woman turns out to have been behind them, and she yells, "Gotcha!" She then pulls the two children out of their hiding place.

* SneezeOfDoom: Alex does this when hiding from Mrs. Carter, which is how she and Zackie got caught.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Adam somehow thinks the blob eating everybody is a balloon. He gets eaten himself.

Zackie aspires to be a horror writer, and writes stories starring himself and his friends. One day, he comes into possession of a magic typewriter, which causes anything he types on it to become real. This seems amazing at first. Unfortunately for Zackie, he's just written a self-insert story about a blob monster eating the entire town. He now has to race back to write himself out of this disaster before it's too late.

* SoLongSuckers: Adams says this when he manages to type into Zackie's typewriter that there was a blob monster in his basement, waiting for fresh meat, and he then runs out of the house.
