History Webcomic / ParanormalMysterySquad

* DistressedDamsel: Katie gets kidnapped by Theo and has her chained to a bed so that [[NearRapeExperience he can have his way with her]]. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted:]] She manages to defend herself and knock him out by the time the rescue arrives.]]

** A couple of [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/lingonberries_-_guest_strip guest]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/treasure_it_always_-_guest_strip comics]] by Adam for ''Eerie Cuties'' were set in a flashback focusing on Layla and Steph as kids. Turns out it was Layla that gave Steph her hairpin saying that they (her and Steph's hairpins) come in pairs. The two strips close with Steph in the present day wondering what Layla was up to at the moment. [[WordOfGod As far as Adam is concerned]], the comics are canon for Paranormal Mystery Squad.

** Volume 2 of VC had some references to events that were happening, or about to happen, in PMS. [[WordOfGod Adam]] has stated that Volume 3 will have a full scale crossover.

** [[WordOfGod Adam]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=11795&p=341179#p341179 freely admits]] that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/ginger_snaps this page]] was an extended ShoutOut to ''Film/GingerSnaps''.

* TheUnfairSex: Steph as per most of her jerkass tendencies, for example she blames the whole [[spoiler: Katie turning into a werewolf]] on J.C. when really Katie had wandered off on her own. J.C, despite being a nice guy, thankfully isn't a doormat and more then willing to call her out on this.
* TrashTheSet[=/=]ThrowItIn: the final arc "Vampire Cheerleaders In Space and Time" starts out as a bizarre fusion of the two comics with ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' and TheMothmanProphecies and quickly snowballs into a gloriously gonzo space opera with [ShoutOut Shout Outs] to every urban legend or paranormal story imaginable. By the time they're done they've gleefully trashed the settings of both comics to the point where nothing less than a full ContinuityReboot could restore them.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: All but outright stated to be what Katie was doing [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/it_just_happened here.]]

** TheSmartGuy: J.C

** Stephanie makes ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_2946-c_addendum_form jokes]] (too bad the lawyer had NoSenseOfHumor) and her ringtone is the movie theme.

* {{Adorkable}}: Charlotte has her moments. Mostly when she's fumbling spells or referencing some old show.

** [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/be_seeing_you Be seeing]] [[Series/ThePrisoner you]].

* FantasticRacism: Steph's attitude towards all 'cryptids'. Then her sister became one.
** Even more "off" due to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/treasure_it_always_-_guest_strip two]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/sensory_overload crossovers]] with [[Webcomic/EerieCuties Layla]]. Layla evidently managed to miss the whole TV fame of her old friend ''and'' "kill all cryptids" video on YouTube, but for her obliviousness is in character. She had to talk about it with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/my_dark_passenger oh so polite]] Maria, though.

* {{Irony}}: Steph starts out hating cryptids and ends up literally embracing them [[spoiler: as the HiveQueen of the moth men.]]

* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Charlotte has a less noticable version with [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/one_blue_one_green one blue eye and one green eye]]. There are hints that this is a halmark of her magical affinity.

* ThemeNaming: Many Franchise/{{Batman}} (and the wider {{DCU}}) references are made in the [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2531 names for the various characters]].

** Steph chose to use a jian (Chinese 'fencing' sword) due to being a fan of SoulCalibur.

* SharedUniverse: With Manga/AoiHouse and VampireCheerleaders, with Stephenie being introduced in Aoi House, and there being cameos between VC and PMS. With PMS being hosted on the same site as Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks, there is some talk of seeing if a link is plausible between them.

** All of the main cast of VampireCheerleaders have made at least one appearance. Lori and Lesly [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/epilogue_1 here]], Heather [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/bathroom_encounter here,]] and finally Suki and Zoey [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/halloween_bashing here.]]
