* HollywoodAcid: Debra repeatedly threatens to splash and/or inject the host of ''Ozzy's Dungeon'' with the stuff.

* NightmareFetishist: Kristen, who the witches recruit to be Ukabon's vessel, is actually ''thrilled'' to be demonically possessed.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Nate and Troy. Mabel even mocks them for it.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Nate and Troy, a pair of videographers hired by the cult.

* ''To Hell and Back'': On New Year's Eve 1999, a cult of witches and warlocks are attempting to summon a demon known as Ukabon. The witches have planned for their summoning to be held specifically on Y2K because the night of the new millennium is mentioned to be one of the few times where the barriers between Hell and the Earth are at their thinnest. They have also hired Nate and Troy, a pair of friends and videographers, to tape their ritual as a demonstration of what awaits the world. Despite their skepticism, the duo agree to film the summoning, possibly thinking it to be a gag. During the ritual, an uninvited demon known as Ferkus emerges from beneath the witches' altar and drags Nate and Troy underneath it. When they awaken, Nate and Troy find themselves to be stuck in Hell, surrounded by bloody remains, dangerously-placed traps, and hungry demons. While Nate arms himself with a discarded pitchfork, he and Troy ultimately come across Mabel the Skullbiter, a damned soul who has become slightly deranged thanks to her time in Hell. Despite this, she advises that the pair stay close to her and go where she goes, since they are mortals and thus have fresh souls, making them irresistible to the hungry minions of Satan. The pair also learn through Mabel that the veil between Earth and Hell will fully close upon midnight, which will occur in 15 minutes. Now knowing what's at stake, Nate, Troy, and Mabel make their way across Hell in the hopes of finding Ukabon, so the former two can return to Earth before they're trapped in Hell forever.

* GenreSavvy: Helen, Lily's roommate, can see full well what kind of girls the sisters of Beta Sigma Eta are, just by observing the way she and Lily were looked at, and questions Lily if she really wants to take the risk of joining their ranks. When Lily is left terrified through the ordeal, she tearfully apologizes to Helen for not listening to her and even calling her her only real friend.

* BystanderSyndrome: Despite calling the first aid personnel when a contestant is injured in a challenge, the host does absolutely nothing when Donna's leg is hideously injured beside crack one-liners and pressuring both her and Timmy in completing the obstacle course, even when the stage crew and the audience are blowing chunks and Debra is being physically held back from reaching her daughter.

* BittersweetEnding: Nate and Troy end up killed by the witches who thankfully fail to summon Ukabon, but Troy is able to write Mabel's name in their spell book before he dies, giving her a shot at resurrection. The witches are even heard using Mabel's name in their summoning chant at the end of the credits, indicating that she will indeed return to the realm of the living.

* KarmaHoudini: The witch cult aren't punished for their demonic summoning and their murder of Nate and Troy, but they ''are'' left immensely frustrated that their plan to summon Ukabon failed.

* LargeHam: Mabel, she's an eccentric {{Cloudcuckoolander}} ChewingTheScenery with anarchic terms.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: After finding themselves transported to Hell, Mabel tells Nate and Troy that the veil between Hell and Earth is only at its thinnest at the stroke of midnight on the new millennium. Because of this, the duo have only 15 minutes to find Ukabon and use him to return to Earth, or else they'll be stuck in Hell forever.

* BlackMagic: The cult are practitioners of the art.

* ShaggyDogStory: Nate and Troy manage to fight off insurmountable odds and escape from Hell... and are promptly killed by the angered witches for ruining their ritual.

* NiceGirl: In spite of being a damned soul who speaks in anarchic terms and... isn't exactly right in the head, Mabel grows to like Nate and Troy, using her experiences in Hell to safely bring them to Ukabon's lair and protecting them from demons, in exchange for the two of them writing her name in the witches' book to let her have a chance at returning to Earth. Throughout their time in Hell, she tosses a severed arm to distract a demon and uses her bandages to attach Troy's camera to his head so he can crawl through a tunnel. It gets to the point where the duo even invite her to return with them to Earth, and when she is stabbed by one of Ukabon's cultist followers, Troy uses his blood to write her name in the witches' spell book, allowing her a shot at returning to Earth even after he and Nate die.

* AssholeVictim: Like the previous films, nost of the victims have it coming.

* [[spoiler: SelfMadeOrphan: Donna uses her wish to have everyone that wronged her die, including her parents]]

* DirtyCoward: The sorority does not lift a finger to [[spoiler:help Lily out of the coffin once a rain storm occurs nor say a word about their crime to anyone out of fear of being expelled and subsequently convicted of involuntary manslaughter]].
