Added DiffLines:
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The "Red Room" that Mocquino uses to brainwash/"zombify" those who displease him. Also the corresponding green room that The Shadow installs at Lamont Cranston's mansion to cure one of Mocquino's victims.
** Also [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] as Dr. Rupert Sayre examines Stanton Wallace for evidence of a "robot zombification" like that he witnessed first-hand as the unwilling assistant to Eric Veldon in ''Master of Death''.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: The Shadow quickly sniffs out what had happened to the poor unfortunate Stanton Wallace by piecing together disparate clues.
* ContinuityNod: As mentioned above, Rupert Sayre makes sure that someone isn't misusing Veldon's techniques again as in ''Master of Death''.
* CrazyPrepared: Why else would The Shadow have a red version of his normal outfit just in case he has to disguise himself in a completely red room?
* DisneyVillainDeath: A {{Retcon}} in the second Voodoo Master story, ''City of Doom'', explains away the seeming death of Mocquino at the end of this story through NeverFoundTheBody and a conspicuously absent in this story right-hand man.
** [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]], due to Mocquino being immensely popular with ''everyone'', Gibson included, necessitating finding some way to bring him back.
* DistressedDude: Harry Vincent. [[OnceAnEpisode Again]].
* HollywoodVoodoo: In a story called "The Voodoo Master", it'd be disappointing if there was no voodoo angle.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Mocquino uses this technique as the culmination of the "Red Room" torture -- he enters in a crimson-and-gold outfit that makes him look demonic and bisected due to the red lights.
** The Shadow steals this idea for himself at the story's climax.
* ScienceMarchesOn: The story seems to play on what was then a current belief on how aphasia comes about.
* ScamReligion: Mocquino puts himself forth as a Voudoun, but in reality he's a slick operator who has a fairly vast knowledge of science. His Voodoo cult is a front for a criminal operation.
* [[SpoilerOpening Spoiler Cover]] The cover of both the original magazine issue and the Nostalgia Ventures reprint depicts the climax of the book, with The Shadow in his red outfit.
* VoodooDoll: Mocquino used a wax version to denote the cult's latest victim and manner of death. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that there is no sympathetic voodoo, it's instead Mocquino sending messages to his mooks on whom they're going to kill next and have look like "voodoo justice."
* VoodooZombie: Of sorts -- they're people driven into a catatonia by Mocquino's AppliedPhebotinum.
