* BreakTheCutie: Mona might have a kind of gruff personality and some CreepyChild tendencies, but at the end of the day, she's a normal (if precocious) human ten year old who goes through some ''awful'' things. To an extent, they're played for humor, but it's made very clear that she doesn't come out without serious damage being done.
** the long term damage Mona suffered becomes very apparent in [[https://www.last-halloween.com/posts/135 this strip]] where three figures that are clearly an older version of Mona, her monster, and Ringley are watching Libby, Chips, and Malcom from the shadows and discussing whether or not to help them. Mona in particular acts very cold and pragmatic during the conversation without so much as a hint of the girl she used to be present.

The character sheet is, unfortunately, too plagued with ZCE's to keep. These examples were salvageable.

* PlotTriggeringDeath: Downplayed as it was nearly fatal, but the Phagocyte's incapacitation is what allows monsters to come out of hiding and attack humans.

-->'''Fugue:''' Listen here, little girl. I'll have you know I am quite experienced in many unpleasant surgical procedures designed to calm patients down and I am not afraid to use them on you. So if you want to keep your prefrontal cortex attached to the rest of your brain, I suggest you stop this incessant howling at once.\\
'''Mona:''' (''screaming intensifies'')\\
'''Robert:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Good work, Fugue.]] You've discovered that she can, in fact, scream louder.

''[[http://last-halloween.com The Last Halloween]]'' is a comedy-horror webcomic by Creator/AbbyHoward of ''WebVideo/StripSearch'' fame. On Halloween, the world is being overrun by monsters, and it is, unfortunately, up to a reluctant young girl named Mona (and her undead "friends") to save the world. It's very funny and also very gory.

* TheCameo: The main characters of ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' appear in the background of one scene, with Eustace being messily killed by a monster as Muriel and Courage flee.



* GroundhogDayLoop: The Gods do a version of this to the doctor whom they recruit to care for [[spoiler: the Phagocyte as he very slowly recovers]]; unlike may examples, her memory does ''not'' carry over between loops.



* RealityEnsues: Relatively speaking; it turns out that were-opossums are not exactly ferocious fighters.



* ShooOutTheClowns: Ringley is sent back to Dr. Fugue to get help. He immediately forgets this errand, but it does keep him out of harm's way while the rest of the group enters the shadow world.
