* ConfusionFu: Nightfright is lured into the trap by Vincent's acting skills making him appear mildly annoyed at best to see Nightfright. Baffled as to why Vincent is no longer scared, Nightfright's attacks degenerate to just following Vincent and pathetically begging him to scream, until he's led right to the trap and is captured.


Added DiffLines:

* SongsInTheKeyOfLock: Vincent's home security system is activated by playing a certain piece of music on the pipe organ, at least until it's sabotaged.


Added DiffLines:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Vincent uses his acting skills to invoke and weaponize this trope against Nightfright, who becomes more desperate to frighten him.
* WeatherControlMachine: Vincent has a variant that causes a perpetual thunderstorm at his estate, as he can't get to sleep without it.
