** "Upside-Down and Backwards", [[spoiler:while being in reverse order]], ends with a comment that is a significant reveal.

** At the start [[spoiler:(technically [[BackToFront end]])]] of "Upside-Down and Backwards", the Narrator mentions seeing Mr. Backwards underneath a "gargoyle arch" in Wendy's room. At the end [[spoiler:(technically the beginning)]], the Narrator is incredulous that Wendy doesn't like scary things, [[spoiler:pointing out her gargoyle mirror]].
* SpoiledByTheFormat: [[invoked]] [[SubvertedTrope Not quite]]: [[spoiler:At first glance, the backwards narrative of "Upside-Down and Backwards" seems to spoil the ending of the story, with Mr. Backwards having killed Wendy, and about to kill the narrator. However, the last paragraph of the story turns it on its head, simply by mentioning the existence of a mirror.]]

* SpoiledByTheFormat: InUniverse, it's Subverted: [[spoiler:At first glance, the backwards narrative of "Upside-Down and Backwards" seems to spoil the ending of the story, with Mr. Backwards having killed Wendy, and about to kill the narrator. However, the last paragraph of the story turns it on its head, simply by mentioning the existence of a mirror.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "Lost Episodes", Sid originally had a strong ''dislike'' of blood, gore, death, and other horror elements; and edited movies to ''remove'' these things (''[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' with no ghosts, and ''Literature/OldYeller'' where Yeller is miraculously cured and doesn't need to be put down, etc.). The narrator of the story eventually convinced him that scary movies can be fun too, and everything goes downhill from there.

* WhamLine: "Disappear Hole" ends on one which doubles as an in-universe one. [[spoiler:[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou It also turns everything we've read on its head.]]]]
-->[[spoiler:Whose bike is that?]]
** Near the end of "Minor Corrections", we are given [[FiveSecondForeshadowing a minor clue]] as to what happened to the Prom photo.
--->I wasn't fast enough. I didn't get to [[spoiler:the basement]] before...
** "Upside-Down and Backwards", [[spoiler:while being in reverse order]], ends with a comment that is a significant reveal.
--->"You like scary things!" I finally respond, shaking my head as if in a numbed haze, "What about [[spoiler:your gargoyle mirror]]?"

!!Tropes common upto his works:

* NoEnding: Some stories end like this, for example in [[spoiler: "Watch for Willy", we don’t get to know what happens after the protagonist finds Willy]].

* AfterTheEnd: “Afterpeople” and the SaturdayMorningCartoon Zombionix from “Dead Serious”.

* NoEnding: A lot of his stories seem to just...stop. Sometimes they'll be followed by a sequel, but often they're merely left to hang, with the reader wondering what just happened. Stories like "Watch for Willie", "He Does Birthdays" and "Extra Ketchup", to name but three, only kinda sorta hint at what was happening before simply ending, no explanation, no follow-up.

* MagicalCamera: "Minor Corrections". Though it's not the camera itself that is magical but the mail-in photo development lab that makes "corrections" to photos to show the deceased state of anyone in them who is either already dead at the time of development or will die very soon.

* MetaOrigin: "[[http://www.slimebeast.com/stories/lost_episodes.php Lost Episodes]]" is meant to be one for all of those, well, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Lost Episode]]" pastas [[FollowTheLeader inspired by]] the likes of Suicide Mouse, Dead Bart, etc. [[spoiler:There's nothing supernatural about any of these supposedly haunted episodes. They were all made by one guy with an obsession for editing videos and probably some kind of mental illness. He did manage to eventually turn ''himself'' into a supernatural video tape that automatically edits all tapes near it, but that's it. Also, he didn't even ''like'' scary stuff, or gore, or anything like that at first. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero The narrator made him come around though]].]]

* AmbiguousSituation: "Grendle Grove", [[WebOriginal/CandleCove a story in the form of a Reddit thread about an obscure puppet show]], has the implication that [[spoiler:the group of vikings in the show, the ones that would chase after the titular Grendle and (in the last episode) ultimately "get" it, would resemble the parents of each individual child who would watch it]], but because the story ends with [[spoiler:a mod locking the forum due to a breach in rules]], we'll never know.
