Stockholm Syndrome is a disambig.
Deleted line(s) 44 (click to see context) :
* StockholmSyndrome: When Maestro reveals that he actually has magical powers, he proceeds to terrify the crowd with them; when they try to flee, he traps them and declares they're his guests. He summons the ghouls to assist him, and what follows alternates between entertaining the crowd and terrifying it. When all is said and done, the Mayor is the only person who still wants Maestro gone from the town. Of course, this trope is ''unintentional'' on the filmmakers' part, as the viewer is supposed to see the Maestro as the one in the right all along.

* BerserkButton: Maestro would probably have gone a bit softer on the pranking if the Mayor hadn't kept referring to Maestro as a freak and similar terms. After we see the rage that the Mayor produces, Maestro keeps an almost perpetual DeathGlare on the Mayor, though still has mostly TranquilFury until he breaks out the songs.

* BrokenAesop: According to WordOfGod, this is a story of how TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside, and how just because a person is "different" from others doesn't make them bad. Unfortunately, the two characters Jackson plays both break the Aesop. The bigoted Mayor — a fat, middle-aged white guy — is presented as an AcceptableTarget throughout, with no redeeming qualities. The ostensibly good Maestro — i.e. Jackson himself — magically imprisons the angry mob confronting them and tortures the helpless Mayor, proving he really was the dangerous "freaky boy" the Mayor accused him of being! And even if you ignore the Mayor and the mob of paranoid parents, the Maestro is still a necromancer who regularly summons a bunch of undead to do his bidding. That's a legitimate concern for an otherwise normal suburban neighborhood!
