* {{Halloweentown}}: The Fright Side is a realm full of monsters and seems to be a FisherKingdom that relies on Halloween traditions and celebrations in order to exist, nearly fading out of existence in ''The Revenge of Jimmy'' when Jimmy tries ruining Halloween in his hometown.

* TheSvengali: The Master from ''Ghoul's Out For Summer'' is an abusive and malevolent vampire slavedriver who uses his "students" to collect prey for him, leaving them to starve off of his scraps. He reacts to any challenge to his authority with great hostility, [[WouldHurtAChild having locked one of his students out in the daylight to burn to death when he tried standing up to him and burning his sister's face as a permanent warning]]. He hypnotizes their familiars to make sure that their parents never catch wind of his abuse, and it takes Orson tricking him into thinking he was immune to sunlight (when really he was coated in Hannah's sunscreen) to scare the Master into laying off, and their parents were ready to tear him limb from limb when they finally caught wind of what was happening.

* IconicSequelCharacter: Harry and Orson (and to a lesser extent, Max and Ruby) are such important and major characters in the series that it's kind of a surprise going back to the very first book and discovering that they don't appear at all in it. They made their first appearance in the ''Bloody Valentine'' comic, which takes place between the firs and second book.

* ParentalBonus: The books and comics are inherently kid-friendly, though there are a couple of hidden innuendoes and dirty jokes... one example being from the ''Search For Mister Bogeylegs'' Christmas special, where Scary Godmother's present is a book called ''[[TheJoyOfX The Joy of Hex.]]'' The caption even says "you never can have too much knowledge."
