2----
3!!This episode features examples of:
4* AncientGrome: Dylan calls the pottery shard Diesel digs up Roman, but it depicts Cerberus, the ''Greek'' guardian of the underworld.
5* CondensationClue: At one point, Dylan sees the mark of Cerberus drawn on his mirror while he's taking a shower. It's later revealed that Dante was the one who drew it.
6* CreepyMonotone: Dylan starts talking like this after the angry spirit prank gets to him.
7* ADayInTheLimelight: For Dante, especially once his role in the prank on Dylan is revealed.
8* DramaticThunder: Dante and Portia looking at each other after Dylan laughs of them saying he should rebury his findings is accompanied by this.
9* EveryoneHasStandards: Dante may be a LargeHam, doom obsessed {{Goth}}, but even he thinks driving Dylan to SanitySlippage and making him take part in an elaborate reburial ritual for your own amusement is going too far.
10* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dante just so happens to be in the bathroom when Dylan sees the three-headed hound on his mirror. True enough, it turns out Dante was the one who drew it.
11* HalloweenEpisode: Along with its sister episode "[[Recap/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreetS1E32TheWallsAreAlive The Walls are Alive]]." This one isn't as overtly Halloweeny, but it does have a curse and some creepy imagery going for it.
12* IThinkYouBrokeHim: When Dylan keeps staring back and forth as he, Dolly, and Dawkins are hiding in the couch, Dolly says she thinks he's broken. She's right.
13* KarmaHoudini: Portia doesn't really receive any comeuppance; Dante, with help from Triple-D, reveal to Dylan in song that whole thing was just a prank. Everybody laughs at Portia for some reason, Portia says nobody understands her and leaves.
14* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: This is Dante's reaction when his, Portia's, and Spencer's prank to teach Dylan a lesson escalates beyond what he's comfortable with.
15* OnceMoreWithClarity: After Dante explains he, Portia, and Spencer made up the angry spirit, we get a series of flashbacks showing how each of the supernatural phenomena throughout the episode were achieved.
16* SanitySlippage: Dylan after Dante and Portia's "angry spirit" charade gets to him. He gets bags under his eyes, a distant expression, and starts switching between CreepyMonotone and LargeHam.
17* [[TalkToTheHand Talk to the Paw]]: Dylan responds with this when Dante starts talking about Cerberus's curse.
