'''SPOILERS FROM SEASON ZERO AND SEASON THREE WILL BE WHITED OUT.'''

* {{Masquerade}}: The Austrian police, at least officially, deny Silas University's existence. It is strongly implied the University is not under the Austrian government's jurisdiction. On campus, it's zigzagged: Certain stuff like the Alchemy Club unleashing a fungal apocalypse or the library being an EldritchLocation is just considered the way things are, but Laura at first [[ExtraStrengthMasquerade does not believe in]] vampires or EldritchAbominations, possibly due to [[AllThereInTheManual not having read]] her [[{{Doorstopper}} student handbook]]. By the start of second season, [[BrokenMasquerade everyone on campus knows about the supernatural]]. And in late season 3 [[spoiler:[[TheUnmasquedWorld the rest of the world gets its share of weirdness too. When Laura calls Betty in Princeton, she reaches the "Princeton headquarters of the emergency apocalypse response network" asking the caller to please grab a weapon and join them on the front lines.]]]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Mattie seems to genuinely care about Carmilla. The Dean also seems to have a soft spot for Carmilla, despite her cruel and twisted ideas of discipline.

* TheGhost: Laura's dad, and the Dean to an extent, depending on whether possessing someone counts as an appearance.

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Kirsch and Will are initially the only men seen on screen, with season 2 adding a few tertiary characters and giving JP an actual voice. [[spoiler: And then his own body in the form of the reanimated corpse of Will.]]

* IWasJustJoking: It's doubtful Perry wanted them to actually starve Carmilla until she gives them information.

* {{Masquerade}}: The Austrian police, at least officially, deny Silas University's existence. It is strongly implied the University is not under the Austrian government's jurisdiction.

** Episode 17 instantly goes from the triumph of capturing Carmilla to the tragedy of Sarah Jane's death, and Episode 27 goes from Laura dorkily flirting with Carmilla to the revelation that[=LaFontaine=] has been taken.

* NominalHero: Laura tries to portray Carmilla as the heroic vampire who saved the school. However, Carmilla mostly just wants to keep Laura safe and happy and rarely shows signs of caring about anyone else.

* ShoutOut:

* AntagonistTitle

* BettyAndVeronica: Laura (Archie) with Danny (Betty) and Carmilla (Veronica).

* {{Remaster}}: Season 1 had the audio remastered for its release [[http://carmilla.vhx.tv on VHX.]]

* SignificantAnagram: As in the original book, Carmilla goes by a different one for each identity. This gets lampshaded by Laura. And [=LaFontaine=], when pointing out they [[EverybodyKnewAlready knew Carmilla was a vampire]].
-->[=LaFontaine=]: What, like nobody's heard of an anagram?

** The original book takes place in the Victorian era. Sheridan Le Fanu's original story says that Laura is dead in the book's prologue, and at the end of novella Carmilla dies. In this version, the story is set in modern day, Carmilla and Laura are roommates and the past of Carmilla is changed. The show leaves just enough wiggle room to imply (via "L") that the events of the novella still more or less happened, sans Carmilla's demise.
** One appears briefly within the series. [[spoiler: Laura visits it briefly near the end of season three. She is sent there by JP/The Library in order to get the fourth talisman but ultimately fails. The sheer darkness of the AU "everyone had given up" convinces her that they have to try and stop the Dean, no matter what.]]

* [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Huge Girl, Tiny Girl]]/OneHeadTaller: Danny ''towers'' over Laura. In the former's introductory episode they aren't even in the same frame until they both sit down. Though to be honest ''everyone'' is taller than Tiny Gay Laura.

** The Dean has an extra array of powers such as DemonicPossession and some sort of [[CastingAShadow shadow magic]], and is implied to be vastly more powerful than Carmilla. Presumably this is due to her connection with the Light.
** Matska Belmonde, introduced in Season 2, has a number of powers related to her status as Chair of the Silas Board. Her own powers include the ability to emit powerful screams similar to a sonic weapon. [[spoiler: In Season 3, she can teleport, somehow bypassing the library's defenses.]]
