  • Creepy Cute: Lily from "Amateur Night".
  • Cry for the Devil: A more literal example than most, as it seems that Lily, a succubus (or, well, something) in disguise, was quite sincere about liking Clint, and actually seems to be suppressing her tendencies to pair up with him. Then Lisa passes out, and Lily gives into her impulses when Shane presses the issue. The portion in the stairwell is what underscores this most, as she seems genuinely bereaved by his lack of erotic interest in her.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Lily and the entire "Amateur Night" segment are probably the best known part of the film. No wonder it eventually spawned its own spin-off.
  • Paranoia Fuel:
    • "Second Honeymoon". Imagine a total stranger, breaking and entering into your room every time you go to sleep, stealing your money, filming and fondling your sleeping girlfriend, slitting your throat, and even sticking your toothbrush into the toilet. Now imagine that your girlfriend is in on it and is planning on running off with this stranger.
    • As mentioned on the Nightmare Fuel page, the segment ends with them deleting the footage... so how is it on one of the tapes? And how is a Skype conversation on one of the tapes? The sheer inexplicable nature of the tapes is the creepiest part by far.
    • In "Amateur Night", a trio of guys out to pick up some girls inadvertently take home a demon from hell that wants to rape one and kill the others. They had no way to prepare for this, and no reason to expect it, because this was supposed to be a normal night.
  • The Woobie:
    • Emily, from The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger. Being used for some sort of alien experiment that her boyfriend is in on, and being diagnosed with Schizophrenia in order to not discover the truth.
    • And Lily from Amateur Night... sort of.
