* PayEvilUntoEvil: His approach to the haunted animatronics is uncompromisingly brutal and ends with them being killed savagely, gruesomely, and with no mercy. Considering that each of the robots is possessed by an AxCrazy undead SerialKiller with a long list of victims behind them, few are going to be calling foul on his actions anytime soon.

* CombatPragmatist: While it’s heavily implied that he does have a code of honor of sorts, (even though his combat pragmatism is justified anyway given the situation he’s in), he’s very fond of using an ImprovisedWeapon like a broom handle, plunger or a bag of soda cans to defend himself. Also, while disapproving of trying to shank a dormant opponent, like Liv tries to do to Siren Sara, he’s not above the occasional sucker punch against somebody currently in the fight but concentrating on somebody else, such as when he starts attacking Knighty Knight from behind while he’s busy menacing the teens.

* IGaveMyWord: A big factor in The Janitor’s decision-making process. After he shakes hands with Tex Macadoo, the Janitor treats all of Tex's instructions as sacrosanct commandments. Even after it’s made unequivocally clear Tex is a dastardly double-crosser who duped him into entering a death trap, The Janitor utterly refuses to disregard or even fall short of any portion of his end of their deal. Since he agreed to spend the night cleaning Willy’s Wonderland, not even killer animatronics can convince him to leave before morning. He even treats Tex’s suggestion to “be sure to take breaks” as inviolable law, as [[MidBattleTeaBreak Liv and Cammy Chameleon can attest.]]
-->'''Tex Macadoo:''' Here’s my offer: [[ExactWords you spend the night cleaning Willy’s Wonderland,]] and I will pay to have your car fixed. [[ExactWords By morning tomorrow, you come out of there,]] and your ride will be right before you, right there. Deal?\\

'''Tex:''' Congratulations. You are officially on staff... Well, pal, it’s going to be dark soon and I’ll be back in the morning with that car of yours, dapper and ready to drive, or my name is not Tex Macadoo! Help yourself to whatever you can find in the kitchen, it’s on the house, and [[ExactWords be sure to take breaks.]] Always good to pace yourself. That’s it! Good luck.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that the haunted animatronics grow to be downright terrified of the guy as he goes to town on them, with Tito Turtle and Siren Sara outright intimidated into inaction as he stalks past them with a wounded Cammy Chameleon being dragged behind. {{Averted}} with Willy, however, who just hates him outright.

* TooDumbToLive: It’s truly astonishing how she managed to blatantly ignore the fact that The Janitor is capable of easily killing Willy’s crew one by one, to the point that she could have just sat back and waited for the man to end their reign of terror once and for all, thus making all her attempts to offer him up as a sacrifice completely unnecessary. Plus, it would have also saved her from Willy’s wrath.

* LastVillainStand: What Willy’s confrontation with the Janitor boils down to. Most of his friends are dead, Lund’s deal has been rendered moot (by his hand), and all he has left is his murderous rage towards the Janitor for completely derailing his plans, so he throws himself into one final battle with the Janitor hoping that he can exact revenge on the man that’s taken from him everything he worked for.

* SmugSnake: It’s obvious from the psychopathic glee that they exhibit when hunting that they think they hold all the cards, but that’s only because they’re used to preying on scared, defenseless civilians. When someone capable of fighting back shows them the error of their thinking, they either freeze up in terror or beg for their lives.

* TooDumbToLive: One would think the animatronics would have either mobbed the Janitor or at the very least feigned inactivity for the rest of his stay after seeing him brutalize Ozzy and Gus with ease. Unfortunately for them, they don’t seem to wise up to this until it’s too late for them to do anything about it.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Despite Lund having the Janitor at gunpoint and dead to rights, Willy ends up killing her in his anger over the Janitor’s meddling before attacking him personally, instead of simply ordering Lund to blow his head off.

* MysteriousPast: The Janitor's capacity for violence and utter indifference to the bizarre circumstances surrounding him seem to imply he's been involved in some very strange situations in his past, but nothing is ever made of it. The one hint we get is the dog tags hanging from his rear-view mirror which possibly indicates that he was an Army veteran.

The one hint we get is the dog tags hanging from his rear-view mirror which possibly indicates that he was an Army veteran. The prequel comic book shows that his brother was killed by the animatronics and implies that he has spent years looking for him, but otherwise reveals absolutely nothing else about The Janitor.



* ItGetsEasier: In the prequel comic, Deputy Lund was disgusted by the Sheriff taking a bribe, showed concern for the rest of the posse when the Sheriff was willing to abandon them, and was horrified by the [[NecessarilyEvil Necessary Evil]] of feeding people to the animatronics, managing to get a little girl spared by Jed. By the events of the film, Sheriff Lund has become so jaded that she no longer cares about anyone or anything other than Liv.



* AllThereInTheManual: Their origins are all revealed in the prequel comic book by American Mythology Productions.
** Jerry Robert Willis: A photographer, he killed four families who hired him, though other than that, very little is revealed about him except that his father is dead, going by him saying, "Call me Willy. Mr. Willis was my father. God have pity on his wretched soul."
** Sara: A children's ballet instructor, she caught her fiancé having sex with her best friend and killed both of them in a psychotic fit before dancing on stage with the corpses while drenched in blood and announcing, "Th-th-th-that's all folks."
** Gus: A zoo employee, he preferred the company of apes to people, and was institutionalized after he beat his MeanBoss to death in an UnstoppableRage.
** Arthur "Arty" Allen: An art teacher turned MadArtist serial killer with a penchant for biting, he was nicknamed "The Bloody Banksy."
** "Cammy" Love: A woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which recontextualizes the scene in the film where she acts nice towards Chris. Also the older sister of Jed Love.
** "Tito": A migrant worker, he slaughtered his co-workers after they "disrespected" his SturdyAndSteadyTurtles.
** Ozzie: A serial killer called The Midnight Strangler, he murdered over twenty co-eds due to being warped by his abusive mother, who would choke him as a form of punishment, scarring his neck and rendering TheSpeechless, at least until he became Ozzie Ostrich.
** Knighty Knight: A Renaissance Fair employee who hacked a pair of hecklers to bits, landing him in the Hayesville Sanitarium.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While only vaguely implied in the film by Willy's TranquilFury after almost all of his comrades are killed, the comic book prequel makes it clear that the animatronics are all friends and a FamilyOfChoice.



* TokenHuman: While most of the animatronics are animals there is also Knighty Knight and Siren Sara. However, Siren Sara is a fairy, making Knighty Knight the only actual human in the group.

** The comic book prequel reveals that Jed Love was helping the animatronics even before brokering the deal between them and the townsfolk, and that he was accepted as a member of the "family" due to his aid and being the brother of Cammy Chameleon. That said, the ending of the film shows that his spiel in the comic about belonging with the animatronics was just a load of crap and that he only helped them out of self-preservation, being happy that all of the animatronics (including Cammy) were seemingly killed by the Janitor.
