* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Danny Was a Deadite]]: Makes it almost to the finish line before finally getting offed and killed. Unlike Bridget and Ellie, he gets no spoken word lines and no scenes to himself as a Deadite, reanimating and almost immediately [[spoiler:becoming Ellie's right hand.]]

** Once Deadite Bridget goes down, he secures her to a bed with a sheet and a rope, [[SubvertedTrope which ends up being ineffective in stopping her from rising, but points for trying.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Or, well, breaking it. As with the prior movies, the demon's power seems to grow as more victims become possessed, and by the time Beth and Kassie lock themselves in the elevator, it begins to [[BloodBath flood the cabin with blood]]. In a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, it turns out liquids take up space and weigh a lot more than you think, and combined with [[spoiler:the Marauder's]] weight atop the cabin, this pushes the elevator past its 900-pound weight limit, causing it to crash. Not only that, but the liquid inside cushions Beth and Kassie just enough that their bodies aren't smashed on impact.

Added DiffLines:

* SinisterSilhouettes: When the Evil traps Ellie in the elevator and rockets it to the top floor, Ellie wakes up and sees a figure in the hallway through the window, who doesn't answer her calls for help. This figure can be seen again in the same hallway when Beth and Kassie are escaping, vaguely resembling Ellie (who is dead back in their apartment), but no more detail is visible. However, Ellie and the other Deadites quickly reanimate almost simultaneously soon after.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: His TooDumbToLive behavior ends just in time for the haunting to kick in and take the reigns anyway. Once the incantation is underway, Danny's attempts at stopping it fail. He stops manually rotating the disc? It keeps going. He presses the stop button? No response. He tries to forcibly lift the needle? It shocks his hand. All evidence suggests that the demon ''was getting'' out of that book, whether someone played by the rules or not.

* BigSisterInstinct: Displayed in regards to Danny and Kassie, though potentially partially subverted as it's not known whether she or Danny is the older sibling.

* FatalFlaw: Unusually sadistic even by Deadite standards, this breed is so determined to torment victims that they end up paying for it. Deadite Bridget has Danny at her mercy, but targets Kassie (who is armed, albeit not with any real sort of weapon) instead. Deadite Ellie also doesn't properly restrain Beth when focusing on clawing open her stomach. Finally, [[spoiler:the Marauder]] tries to drag Beth into a woodchipper in the final act, rather than attack her with tooth and claw. This ends up allowing Kassie to throw them into their own trap. Downplayed, because they're still very efficient threats and the "fatal" part rarely sticks.

* HauntedTechnology: Once the priest's recitation of the evil words in the book starts to play on Danny's record player, he tries to stop it, only for the voice to continue the incantation even when he stops the vinyl. Thereafter, Ellie's imminent reanimation as a Deadite after dying is heralded by a haunted call on her phone.

Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: Ellie scolds her children in motherly concern after they come back to the apartment and she realizes they took the elevator after an earthquake, something incredibly risky. Shortly after, when taking laundry to the bottom floor, she pauses near the stairs and opts to take the elevator, with the camera pointedly focusing on the word 'Exit' plastered over the door, indicating that Ellie might've ducked her imminent DemonicPossession had she maintained caution.


Added DiffLines:

* ChildEater: This Evil is very deliberate when picking targets and very focused on desecrating Ellie's family. Deadite Ellie singles out Bridget as her first target despite others being closer and vulnerable, and a few minutes later, she announces Kassie out of the potential lineup as her target, and every Deadite from there on guns for Kassie at every opportunity, giving the impression that the Evil wants nothing more than to destroy the most innocent thing it can find.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Sadist}}: It says quite a bit that this trope, which has been a cornerstone of the Evil throughout the series, sticks out here. Ellie's possession scene highlights how the demon doesn't just want to possess her, it wants to ''hurt'' her. It knocks her around, rips her earring out, and the last thing it does to her ([[NothingIsScarier that we see]]) is to [[SickeningCrunch twist her arm right off its elbow socket]].
