Added DiffLines:

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Brooke's emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her fiancé is very obvious for all of us to see in our era, but back in the 70s into the 80s', various abuses of the sort were only just coming to light with many practitioners of psychiatry and psychology having difficulties exploring the topic or area at the time. Brooke may literally have had no idea what he was doing was completely wrong or if she just plain surrendered to end the tormentor's isolation.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** Montana openly confesses that she masturbated to a bootleg fitness tape featuring Trevor. Margaret also says that it's the only exception to her "no sex" rule at the camp because she'll never be able to enforce it.
** The expression is used by Xavier in "Mr. Jingles" as he taunts Chet about his lack of romantic prospects among the girls.

Added DiffLines:

* ResurrectedMurderer: Everyone who dies at Camp Redwood is resurrected as a ghost, which includes murderers like [[spoiler:Montana]], who was working with Richard Ramirez to kill Brooke. However, ghosts undergo a FaceHeelTurn due to how long they're alive, and it allows them to avoid it with Ramirez himself, repeatedly killing him in an almost endless loop to ''stop'' him from being able to resurrect (as they all were) and go to kill others.

Added DiffLines:

* CastingGag:
** Chet, the embittered would-be Olympian, is played by Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy.
** Much like Creator/TimothyOlyphant's role in ''Film/APerfectGetaway'' being an inversion of his role in ''Film/Scream2'', the fate of Creator/EmmaRoberts' character is an inversion of what happened to her in ''Film/Scream4''. In that film, [[spoiler:Jill was EvilAllAlong, and masterminded the killing spree so that she could [[AttentionWhore become famous]] by playing the FinalGirl like her cousin Sidney did, setting up Charlie and her boyfriend Trevor to take the fall]]. Here, however, [[spoiler:Brooke genuinely is a NiceGirl, and ''she'' winds up taking the fall for the murders committed in the first five episodes, particularly those committed by Margaret, who walks away from it posing as the Final Girl (for the second time in her life) and parlays it into a successful career as a real estate mogul]]. Interestingly enough, while Roberts is best known as a blonde, both [[spoiler:Jill]] and Brooke are brunettes, [[spoiler:except Jill is a case of DarkIsEvil]].
