* AndStarring: Paris Jackson gets the "and featuring" billing in the first look teaser.

* RealityEnsues:
** When Marcus was attacked by Hookman, Deion ran to get the cops instead of staying and trying to fight him, after all, he was a small, frightened, 9-10 year old boy who couldn't fight a huge guy with a hook hand. Still, even though his cowardice is justified, Deion still feels massive guilt for abandoning his twin.
** Deion is put in detention when trying to defend Liv from her boyfriend, Avery Collins, when he wouldn't let her leave during a fight; Liv then gets puts in detention for talking back to the teacher and trying to defend Deion.
*** Also in detention is Kym and Manny, the former of which yelled at a teacher's face ''with a megaphone'', and Beth, who was smoking on school grounds earlier in the episode ''right next to'' a "No Smoking" sign.
** In the second episode, the Deadfest Club get trapped in the school with Ghostface along with Shane (who they initially thought was Ghostface); Shane brags about being well armed with a small revolver and was previously shown robbing a pharmacy with said revolver, but when actually faced with having to shoot Ghostface, his tough-guy image falters when he struggles to pull the trigger, allowing the killer to escape. He's then criticized by the gang, as well as being called a "pussy" by Beth, for his cowardice. However, in a lot of cases, it's hard to gain the nerve to shoot somebody when you don't murder people on a daily basis, and while being a thief and a drug dealer, Shane's never killed anyone and draws the line at it; besides, he probably doesn't want to get involved with gun violence when it could kill him or land him in jail, especially he has to [[spoiler: take care of his sickly grandmother]].
** Amir dresses up as Deion for Halloween, since Deion is the only football player at school who's nice to him. But despite it being an innocent gesture, many people find it weird or creepy.
** When [[spoiler: Avery Collins gets murdered by Ghostface]], Deion's coach has him replace [[spoiler: Avery]] as quarterback, despite the fact that Deion plays as a running back on the team; as expected, Deion's terrible in his new position, having never playing as a quarterback before. Two episodes later, he manages to get the hang of it after some more practice.
** As expected, [[PoliceAreUseless the police in the show are incompetent]] when a slasher is prowling the area. Then again, the [[spoiler:six]] initial deaths didn't seem related to each other and [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident looked like really bad accidents]]. After all, [[spoiler: a guy getting his throat cut and suffocated with a bag near a scary building with winos, a high school senior at a party with drugs and alcohol falling onto a sharp object, a gang member getting his throat cut, a drug dealer dying of an overdose, a drunk getting crushed to death in his own junkyard, and a high school student getting burned to death in a car accident while in a ''really'' bad part of town]] don't scream "Ghostface Killer". But when [[spoiler: a police officer is attacked and left for dead and a high school student is found eviscerated with a bonesaw]], they begin to take shit seriously.
** Deion is framed for attempted murder by Ghostface, who had previously wounded [[spoiler: Officer Reynolds]], and arrested. Thankfully, [[spoiler: Officer Reynolds]] recovers enough to reveal that Deion's innocent, but Deion's coach reluctantly kicks him off the football team and he gets passed over for a scholarship opportunity because being accused of murder does not look good to the college football scout visiting, whether or not he was innocent. Luckily, his coach manages to put a good word for him with the college scout.
** Liv's shady, impulsive behavior (not being at the school when Ghostface went after the gang, being defensive when asked about having a second phone, slashing Kym's tire with a knife, indirectly leading to [[spoiler: Manny's death]], and getting Deion in trouble with her dad so he wouldn't go after Ghostface, leading to [[spoiler: her dad]] getting stabbed by Ghostface, who then frames Deion for it) causes Beth and Kym to think she's Ghostface and causes Deion to break up with her over her behavior. It turns out that she isn't Ghostface and that her actions were [[spoiler: due to mental issues stemming from a messy divorce between her dad and mom, who she keeps in contact with using the secret phone]] and Deion makes up with her after learning about that and finding out that [[spoiler: Jay was really Ghostface]]. Still, there is enough distrust towards her that when Deion finds her in suspicious circumstances ([[spoiler:knocking out Beth and trapping her in a room after she reveals a element of Amir's death she shouldn't have known]]) and [[spoiler: learning from Jay, before he died from getting stabbed by his partner, that there's a second, ''female'' killer]], he doesn't fully believe her when [[spoiler: she and Beth both accuse each other of being the other killer]].
** After revealing [[spoiler: herself as the other Ghostface]], [[spoiler: Beth]] puts on the costume to chase after Liv, but then abandons the mask after getting hit in the face with a locker door since, as [[spoiler: she]] lampshades, is really impractical for serial killing.
--->'''[[spoiler: Beth]]''': God. You have no idea how hard it is to see in this damn thing.

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: In the fourth episode, Ghostface asks the group to choose who in the group should die next and adds "snitchers die". [[spoiler:It turns out their intention was to murder the person who would throw one of them under the bus instead. Amir, who secretly voted for Deion, learns this the hard way. Ghostface rubs it in his face by showing him that they're actually his first girlfriend who killed him.]]

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: A DiscussedTrope in the first episode, as Beth tells Deion and Kym that as black people, they have the lowest chances of survival if they're really in a horror movie. [[spoiler: Eventually {{defied|Trope}} as they both survive to the end of the season while Beth herself (revealed to be the killer) dies by Kym's hand.]]

* ShownTheirWork: Kym watches a bunch of horror flicks in the second episode brought from a RedBox to prepare herself for Ghostface; the first film she watches is the Rob Zombie remake of ''Halloween''. The film is decisive among the fanbase with many outright hating it, yet it and its sequel are well known among 90s-00s millennials and non-fans of the horror genre (like Kym, who is into buddy cop films like ''Rush Hour'') to the point that [[AdaptationDisplacement they're unaware of the orginal 1978 film and think of the 2007 version instead]]. However, when Amir makes his mixtape for Beth, he includes lines from the 1978 ''Halloween'' due to her being a horror movie buff; the 1978 film is respected among devoted horror fans so it would make sense Amir would choose the older film since horror fans know to never "fuck with the orginal".
