* InkSuitActor: The lizard who sings "Don't Go in the Basement" sports fiery red hair like Creator/DannyElfman.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: The lizard who sings "Don't Go in the Basement." He does a lot of evil-looking grins and other behaviors suggesting that he's up to something, and the song has all the creepy flair of a typical VillainSong... but he doesn't seem to do anything evil other than tell Max to stay out of the basement, and then [[spoiler:say uh-uh at the end, when Max and Gluey go into the basement and take the train to Miami Beach]].

It has a score by Creator/DannyElfman and Music/OingoBoingo. It can be seen in its entirety [[https://youtu.be/E4unyZNh84M here]].

* WarningSong: When Max tries to go into the HauntedHouse's basement (because the door says there's a phone down there, and he wants to call someone), a lizard man [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes out of nowhere and sings the number "Don't Go in the Basement"]], which is all about the lizard ordering Max to stay out of the basement for vague reasons. At the end, we learn that the basement contains [[spoiler:a train to Hell]].

** Later on, the lizard sings about this in "Don't Go Into the Basement":

* {{Fingore}}: During "Don't Go Into the Basement", when the lizard tries to press the elevator button for the basement, a bird bites his finger off.

* WarningSong: When Max tries to go into the HauntedHouse's basement (because the door says there's a phone down there, and he wants to call someone), a lizard man [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes out of nowhere and sings the number "Don't Go Into the Basement"]], which is all about the lizard ordering Max to stay out of the basement for vague reasons. At the end, we learn that the basement contains [[spoiler:a train to Hell]].

* PunnyName: Played with when it comes to Gluey as after introducing herself to Max he says "I'll stick with you."

''That it's really cool''\\

A '''''very''''' surreal animated short by Sally Cruikshank (the same animator behind ''WesternAnimation/QuasiAtTheQuackadero''). It's about a frog named Max who is enticed by a female frog named Gluey into entering a haunted house. [[MindScrew Or something.]]

* WitchClassic: One of the house's residents is a short frog dressed like one of these.

* XMeetsY: Can be summed up quite simply as ''WesternAnimation/MinnieTheMoocher'' meets ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''.

* OnlyInFlorida: Apparently, Miami Beach is on the same subway line as Hell.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: The short ends with Max being convinced to board a subway with Gluey that is going ''to Hell''... solely because it has a stop at Miami Beach.
* WarningSong: When Max tries to go into the {{Haunted House}}'s basement (because the door says there's a phone down there, and he wants to call someone), a lizard man [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes out of nowhere and sings the number "Don't Go Into the Basement"]], which is all about the lizard ordering Max to stay out of the basement for vague reasons.
