Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* As of "Room Service," we find out why the vampirism has been referred to as a virus when Alex injects a boy dying of measles full of her infected blood. He's seemingly cured of the measles, but it enhances the blood virus. This is bad since the boy goes home, kills and feeds on his parents, goes to school, kills his teacher, infects his entire classroom, and massacres several faculty members. Before the children are ''rescued'' and returned to their parents, of course. The whole thing shoots ''Hotel's'' already huge CreepyChild factor UpToEleven in the most horrifying way.

** And the worst part is when the principal suffers a SlashedThroat and barely escapes the mob of infected kids feeding on his blood. He reaches the nurse's office, who immediately calls for a full lockdown of the school. Cue blood-soaked vampire child's SlasherSmile as the lights go out and all the doors lock from the inside.

* The Countress seems to have suffer a bit of SanitySlippage. Going on to create a punishment for her enemies, which is locking them in the hallway Rudy and Natacha were trapped in before. She also added cameras inside to watch them slowly go insane from their hunger.
** It's also implied she's planning to also murder Will Drake's son if Miss Evers's comments are true, which is most likely since she's been at the hotel for years.

* Sally's snippets of backstory was this, her love for the two band members were so twisted that she attempted to stitch herself to them so that they would never leave her. The couple overdose and Sally is stuck to their decomposing corpses for a total of five days. While getting tortured by the newly spawned Addiction Demon - i.e. suffering ''vicious'' withrawal symptoms. It's actually kind of impressive that it took her 5 whole days to become desperate enough to ''rip'' out the stitches so she could get up and leave.
* The Countress' reaction to being stuck with James March and the way he says it. You can see her visibly dying on the inside.

* Alex and John's disposal of the middle school vampires.vampires: they fool them into thinking that they'll bring them to the Cortez so that the Countess can adopt them as her children instead of turning them over to the authorities, but they instead herd them into the previously mentioned sealed up hallway that had a massive iron door installed on its entrance after it was unsealed during Will's renovations of the hotel, lock the door behind them and leave them to be sucked dry by the previously imprisoned Ramona.
