* BedsheetGhost: The Phantom of Vasquez Castle. He has the ability to float around and go through walls, making his simple disguise more effective and scary.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When Daphne is separated from the gang, she’s shown to be quite independent: she successfully navigates the castle and later arms herself with a vase to attack someone she hears coming toward her.
