** Claude, Max and Ray are named after surrealist artists Claude Cahun, Max Ernst and Raymond Roussel.

Added DiffLines:

* CloseCallHaircut: If BB gets caught by the knife-wielding Clarice in ''Blood of the Killer'', Clarice will swipe at BB's face, but will only cut off BB's bangs. Clarice will swipe again, but BB will dodge this time and escape. BB's hair will be back to normal in the next scene, though.


Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: In ''Hands of the Killer'', getting caught by one of the College of Murder's students may result in a closeup of BB getting her skull caved in by a mallet.

Added DiffLines:

* ChaseScene: In every game, BB gets pursued by some baddie and all she can do is run away.


Added DiffLines:

* MakingASplash: TAMMY the water ghost from ''Drool of the Killer''. After being drowned by the Killer in 1992, she came back as a watery ghost bent on flooding the world and transforming buildings into twisted water parks.

* AcademyOfEvil: The College of Murder, found underneath BB's apartment in ''Hands of the Killer''. Downplayed in that they don't kill real people and practice on dolls instead. Unfortunately for BB, she just so happens to resemble the dolls and the members can't tell the difference.



* BerserkButton: In ''Drool of the Killer'', after fleeing from TAMMY for most of the game, BB discovers that [[spoiler:TAMMY's swimming pools are not chlorinated]]. This causes BB to flip out, bashing TAMMY upside the head while raging about how she could have gotten sick.
