1 | '''Basic Trope''': Loads of different kinds of monsters (vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc.) all live and interact in the same general area. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein's monster all live in the same city. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein's monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, mummies, aliens, ogres, goblins, gremlins, zombies, demons, witches, trolls, ghosts and a giant spider all live in the same apartment building. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': |
5 | ** Dracula passes by the Wolfman on his way into town. |
6 | ** A RagtagBunchOfMisfits who aren't exactly monsters, but are definitely far from normal. |
7 | * '''Justified''': They live in a MonsterTown. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': Dracula's the only monster in the city. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': Dracula, Wolfman and Frankenstein's monster all live in the city... but they're actually guys in costume, filming a movie. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...but it turns out they're actually an alien, a demon and a ghost all pretending to be human so they can be in show business. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': A normal man goes to the office building where he works. His co-workers are all different types of monsters, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight but he doesn't bat an eye]]. He acts as if the vampire co-worker attempting to bite his neck and the other actions of the monsters were normal mundane behaviors. |
12 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman all turn out to be actors in costume. Shortly after filming the movie, the actors playing Dracula and the Wolfman are bitten by a vampire and a werewolf respectively and change into a vampire and a werewolf respectively. In addition, the actor playing Frankenstein gets killed in an accident and resurrected by a mad scientist who stitches him back together. Then the three monsters are killed by a trio of monster hunters. The monster hunters turn out to be a self-hating monster trio composed of an invisible man, a swamp monster, and a mummy. |
13 | * '''Averted''': Either monsters do not exist, or only one kind is ever seen onscreen at one time. |
14 | * '''Enforced''': "Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and all those guys were pretty awesome monsters. It would be pretty neat to do a story where they all team up against a greater threat." |

16 | * '''Invoked''': A MadScientist[=/=]EvilSorcerer creates all these monsters to help him take over the city. |
