* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: This gem which doubles as GettingCrapPastTheRadar:

* DeathByWomanScorned / YourCheatingHeart: In the backstory for the Ghost Bride, her fiancé left her at the altar and ended up falling in love with the bride's sister--and to really add insult to injury, they got married ''the day after'' the groom was originally supposed to marry the ghost bride. Furious, she put on her wedding dress and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge took an axe down to the couple's home where she hacked them to pieces]] then committed suicide when the police showed up.

'''Arnold''': But, they're dead.\\

* HonorBeforeReason: Arnold points out Harold doesn't have to go with them to the graveyard if he's scared. Harold tells him he does so no one will be able to call him chicken.

* DeathByWomanScorned / YourCheatingHeart: In the backstory for the Ghost Bride, her fiancé left her at the altar and ended up falling in love with the bride's sister--and to really add insult to injury, they got married ''the day after'' the groom was originally supposed to marry the ghost bride. Furious, she put on her wedding dress and took an axe down to the couple's home where she hacked them to pieces then committed suicide when the police showed up.

* AssholeVictim: Curly is implied to have been killed by the Ghost Bride at the end of the episode. Given that he never appears after this episode, this is plausible.
** {{Jossed}} in that Curly does end up appearing in "Phoebe's Little Problem," albeit in a minor cameo.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Arnold comments that the gang can't stay in the crypt they're hiding forever.

* RealAfterAll: Implied at the end when Curly, who's been locked in a crypt as punishment for scaring the gang, hears someone humming Here Comes the Bride then he's heard screaming.

* Hypocrite: Harold claiming Helga can't join the group in looking for the Ghost Bride because "girls get scared too easy". Given that Harold's the one who spends the whole episode whimpering and crying out of fear, he doesn't have room to talk.
