* BigBrotherBully: Santa's storybook spell features one of these, who is then kidnapped by Krampus.

* FoolishSiblingMatureSibling: Adrian and Ophelia, respectively. Though her ProperLady attitude doesn't stop Ophelia from [[NotSoAboveItAll sticking her tongue out at Adrian when he teases her]].
* GoodParents / ParentsAsPeople: Jack and Sally are shown to be understanding parents, however Jack realizes he should have made time to help Clive with his lack of friends, and Sally didn't realize Clive was suffering from fear from [[spoiler: his premonition of Krampus coming to kidnap him]] rather than simply feeling ill. Both are for understandable reasons, with the former being busy with Halloween preparations and the fallout of the enchanted pumpkins causing havoc, and the latter having no reason to presume anything other than what Clive told her. Doesn't stop them from feeling guilty about it though.

* TheKrampus: Naturally, and the main villain of thefic.fic.
* NeverGrewUp: Lock, Shock, and Barrel haven't aged one day over the years. Jack's inner monologue notes there are other children in Halloween Town that don't age either.
* PetTheDog / HiddenDepths: Krampus kidnaps the entire population of naughty kids in the town of Haven, yet he takes the time to return a stolen teddy bear to a child, and even attempts to reassure the girl when she wakes up. It's also implied that he doesn't care for bullies or parents that don't discipline their children when the latter harms others.
* PluckyGirl: Shirley Skellington is one, as she is introduced by boldly declaring that she'll take on whatever is bothering Santa, and Jack notes that she would gladly face down the dangers of the Hinterlands if she could.
* PrimAndProperBun: Ophelia wears her hair in one.
* ProperLady: Ophelia Skellington.
* TheQuietOne: Clive Skellington is introduced as talking in a very quiet voice.
* ShoutOut: A few:
** The title of the fic is a lyric from ''Grace For Sale'' from ''Film/TheDevilsCarnival'', and the author has stated that that film's version of Lucifer is a big influence on Krampus, even saying that [[HypotheticalCasting Terrence Zdunich's voice is what they had in mind for Krampus.]]
** Jack mentions a Gorey Street and a Gammell Drive, named after Creator/EdwardGorey and Creator/StephenGammell respectively.
** Santa's storybook spell is inspired by the animated flashback sequence from ''Film/{{Krampus}}''.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Krampus is implied to be one, as he has shown great disdain towards bullies and parents who coddle their children's bad behavior. Santa also states that he had only taken the worst of naughty kids in the past, which makes his current targeting of kids who aren't as naughty like Clive rather unusual.
* TheWildHunt: The plans for the next Halloween involves Jack and co. recreating this, though without actually hunting down humans. The idea is to invoke some "old-school terror", as in recent years Halloween Town, while having greater and greater reach in the Human World, have been having trouble scaring humans as effectively.
