* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Harry and Shannon are body-snatching ghouls, but they do appear to legitimately love each other, going by the scene where Harry reassures Shannon (even calling her "sweetheart") after she expresses concern over whether or not he is currently strong enough to go through with performing the Pharaoh's Curse.

* AbusiveParents: Danielle Randall's parents are a more emotional example. They're extremely controlling over every aspect of her life, down to her television watching and diet. It's clearly taking a huge toll on her.
* AdultsAreUseless: If you think about the premise for very long, it brings up several questions about how Danielle has managed to claim that many victims already without her parents or any other adults suspecting that anything unusual is going on.
* CurbStompBattle: Miranda Evans (a fully-grown human female) squares off against a collection of living Barbie-sized dolls. No points for guessing who wins, although Miranda really should have let the dolls get her out of the house instead...
* DownerEnding: Miranda gets turned into a doll and the little girl gets away with it.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Danielle's justification for transforming her babysitters into dolls—she's so desperately lonely for any sort of companionship that she'll do whatever it takes to make people stay with her...whether they want to or not.
* KarmaHoudini: Danielle, who turns her babysitters into dolls, gets away with it. Her parents merely think that every sitter bails on her halfway through the night. And yet, her father complains that this is the third time this has happened through one agency, and no one has noticed that over a dozen girls have disappeared after babysitting this one house...
* KiddieKid: Danielle is stated to be ten, but occasionally acts extremely immature, lashing out when anyone touches her toys and assuming that every babysitter she has naturally wants to be her very best friend. Justified in universe by her parents being overly controlling and treating her like a baby, suggesting that she hasn't matured because they won't let her.
* LivingDollCollector: [[LonelyDollGirl Danielle]], a little girl who turned all her babysitters into Barbie dolls because she was lonely and didn't want them to ever leave.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Miranda thinks the dolls are trying to hurt Danielle. In reality, they are trying to get Miranda to leave before she is also turned into a doll, and Miranda doesn't realize it until it's too late. This was not helped by how the dolls ominously tried to warn her, by underlining a passage in her college textbook that was pertinent to the situation.
