* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/ColeSprouse gets to show off quite a bit here, due to playing a fully emotive, thinking, and layered person who cannot speak. He does a fantastic job, using his face and body language to covey The Creature's thoughts so well, you have no trouble believing he and Lisa can communicate just fine.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: [[spoiler:It's never explained why The Creature doesn't have a penis, whether it rotted off or if he never had one to begin with, but many viewers go for the latter interpretation, headcanoning The Creature as a transgender man. Obviously, he wouldn't have had access to bottom surgery in life, but Lisa happily takes care of it for him in undeath. As a bonus, she makes a point of saying that having a penis is "the least important part" of being a man.]]
* TheWoobie:
** Lisa's mother was killed in a violent home invasion, the perpetrator never being caught, and she was so traumatized from hearing it happen that she went mute for months afterwards. Only half a year later, her father remarried a woman who obviously hates her, and forced Lisa to change schools. She's lonely, depressed, and treated as an outsider by everyone save for her stepsister Taffy. [[spoiler:Slips into JerkassWoobie as she becomes a murderer, but she never loses her sympathetic edge.]]
** Taffy is a sweet girl who's put through the wringer. [[spoiler:Having a SecretRelationship with Lisa's crush without even telling her wasn't nice, but that was the only morally questionable thing Taffy did, and it's clear she really did feel awful about it. She definitely didn't deserve to have her mother and boyfriend killed, the latter right in front of her. Lisa agrees, and gets The Creature to spare Taffy, sincerely apologizing for everything. In the end, Taffy is clearly mourning Lisa as a sister, too.]]
