!!Tropes common to his works:

to:

!!Tropes common to !!Some of his works:works contain examples of:
* AdaptationalNameChange: "JTK" changes [[spoiler: Jeff the Killer from Jeffery Woods to Jeffery Jones. In addition his brother is Lou instead of Liu]].



* AgeLift: "JTK" changes [[spoiler:Jeff the Killer's younger brother Liu into his older brother, now named Lou]].
* AllThereInTheManual: Confused about how "Don't Pet the Dog" ended? Slimebeat explains the twist in the comments.
--> Dr. Killjoy: I'm actually a bit confused about this. [[spoiler:Does the serial killer transform into a dog somehow, and lives at the house, and that's why they say he's a bad dog? And the graves in the yard actually contain his victims?]]
-->Slimebeast: If you that's how you prefer it to be, then sure. My intention was: [[spoiler:You pet the dog, the dog dies and you take its place. Hence the huge stockpile of dog corpses over however many years. I figure the people at the house are just a couple mentally "interesting" folks who were with someone who petted the dog, and had nowhere else to go.]]
* AlliterativeName: "JTK" has Jeffery Jones [[spoiler:aka Jeff the Killer who was originally named Jeffery Woods]].



* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: The ending of ''Funnymouth''.
* AssholeVictim:
** Pace, the {{Jerkass}} producer from ''Gorbs''.
** The protagonist of ''Companionship'' is a total prick concerned primarily about boning women. While he does survive getting a healthy dose of BodyHorror, he’s left traumatized for life.
*** The protagonist of ''My Children'', a prequel to ''Companionship'' was a {{Jerkass}} with a major case of NeverMyFault abusive to the monsters he took under his care, and totally deserved being left to die at the hands of the Rattler by Lizzie.
** The {{Jerkass}} telemarketer with a LackOfEmpathy from ''I Worked For a Phone Company'', who gets a severe case frostbite on his hand that eventually causes it to be amputated by the ghost of a pair of women he had gotten killed inadvertently when he scammed them into buying a faulty cell phone, causing them to freeze to death when they were unable to contact anyone for help.



* MonsterClown:
** "He Does Birthdays" has [[spoiler:Torso the Clown, a HumanoidAbomination with the appearance of a clown with no lower body who {{mind rape}}s the narrator's father, causing him to relapse into a childlike mentality, and at the end, Torso goes around killing the children invited to the narrator's birthday party. He's heavily implied to be an {{Website/SCP|Foundation}}]].
** "Extra Ketchup" has a restaurant called Honker's run by clowns [[spoiler:that use child meat as their ingredients]].
* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: He's written several stories about these, such as the "Attract Mode" trilogy.
** "123 Safety Street" from the story of the same name ends up to be a subversion. [[spoiler:The game is a Christian ScareEmStraight game made to teach kids that "Halloween is an amoral holiday" and all of the scary glitches and stuff were intentional. When the game appears to start affecting real life, it was just the kid's parents who were in on the whole thing, which ends up badly for the mother when she grabs the kid from behind to scare him and he fights back, knocking her over and killing her when she hits her head on a chair.]] Possibly ends up double subverted when [[spoiler:the bloodstain left in the carpet is the same as the face of "Dr. Boo!" from the game.]]
* 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.
* NostalgiaFilter: Often opens stories with this, taking things from childhood and building scares with them.
* SubvertedKidsShow: Several of his stories are about obscure children's shows that somehow got away with horrific content.
** “Class Creeps” is about the protagonist and his friends attempting to watch a video stream of the pilot of a 1990's cartoon titled ''Class Creeps'', which happens to be about some students who get killed in a terrible accident before being revived as grotesque monsters by a MadScientist named Dr. Satanstein.
** “Dead Serious” has the narrator talking about his shoddy cable system allowing him to stumble upon an episode of a cartoon called ''Zombionix'', an extremely violent cartoon about undead cyborgs endlessly mutilating each other in a post-apocalyptic setting [[spoiler:that has apparently inspired children in the real world to commit awful acts of violence]].
** "Squiggles" is about a puppet show where the title character makes politically incorrect jokes and [[spoiler:causes the children in the show's live studio audience to convulse and die]].
** “Funtime With Floppy” is about the narrator reminiscing on an early 1980's puppet show where he sent a letter requesting the other characters to leave Floppy alone, resulting in [[spoiler:Floppy's tormentors murdering him onscreen]].
** ''Watch For Willie'' is a variant on this, focusing on a supernatural ''Literature/WheresWaldo''-knockoff poster where the Waldo equivalent, Willie, is a SerialKiller murdering the inhabitants of the poster and hiding their corpses on the back.
** ''Wobble World'' is a very strange variant in which the narrator talks directly to the reader as they turn on an old analog TV that hasn't been used in years, only to find that it's picking up...some kind of broadcast. It features a strange, twisting shape named "Wobble", an elderly British host and a chorus of Children. The narrator and the children seem to be afraid of Wobble, but the narrator is trying to keep going as if it were just a normal kid's show, teaching the kids letters. And it turns out watching the program has [[spoiler:turned ''you'' into Wobble]]. Probably the most out-there element is the host randomly teaching the kids the word "justify" and telling them "you can justify anything you feel like doing."
* TwistEnding: Frequent. [[spoiler:"Disappear Hole", "New Creatures", and "Safe Internet"]] are good examples.
* 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 Backward", [[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]]?"
** "Stop Scaring Everybody" has the protagonist reread the garbled note he left himself in the middle of one of his blackouts, which reveals just ''what'' he had been doing.
--> [[spoiler:[[TheKillerInMe note to self: STOP SCARRING EVERY BODY]]]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: "JTK" deconstructs [[spoiler:Jeff the Killer. Jeff, here, is not some misguided attempt at a TragicVillain who was bullied into becoming a monster, but rather, he was always an unpleasant, clearly disturbed individual long before he crossed the line into mass murder, which he'd been planning for months. The worst abuse he received was mockery from his classmates, but they acted more out of fear of him than sheer malice. His bullies from the original story were never bullies and never meant any harm until they got freaked out by Jeff's demeanor, so they attacked him in the heat of the moment. At best, the story is a case of BlackAndGrayMorality, where, despite any mockery Jeff endured, it never warranted a massacre]].

* RetGone: A minor case in "Disappear Hole": once something falls into the titular hole, no one remembers it existed.

Then they spot the glow of a flashlight down the hole fading out of view, and realize they ''did'' bring one and dropped it in after all. [[spoiler:And of course, there's the fourth boy in the story. Which is why ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou you didn't know he was in it]]''.]]

* CreatorBreakdown: InUniverse. The scriptwriter protagonist of ''Gorbs'' loses it after yet another one of his ideas, one he was the most passionate about to boot, was mangled by his boss into a zombie movie, and goes into a screaming rant about how unoriginal a zombie movie is and sarcastically suggests using gore orbs called “Gorbs”. This results in an apocalypse caused by said Gorbs, since everyone in the room aside from the scriptwriter merged into a Gorb.
