4	----
5	!!This episode contains examples of:
6	* ActorAllusion: When Lawrence is watching a horror movie, he comments on the lack of rock and roll musical numbers. This is a nod to Creator/RichardOBrien's role as the writer, composer, and one of the original stars of ''Theatre/TheRockyHorrorShow''.
7	* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: A variation; Doofenshmirtz uses his Gimmelshtump-Inator to transform his modern bathroom into a crummy Gimmelshtumpian powder room. Unfortunately, during his skirmish with Perry, he ends up having to go...and remembers he transformed the bathroom. The bathroom returning to normal is the reason he takes it in stride when Perry destroys the Gimmelshtump-Inator.
8	* ArtisticLicenseSports: Phineas calls the runners "marathoners", but earlier, it is shown that they were running a 4K, which is significantly less miles than a marathon.
9	* BattleDiscretionShot: Most of the fight between Doof and Perry occurs in the barrel of the Gimmelshtump-inator and is off camera.
10	* BlessedWithSuck: While Candace enjoys the vampire movie she watched with Stacy and wondered what it would be like to be one, she spends the rest of the episode demonstrating why this would be not as glamorous as it looks.
11	* BrickJoke: Stacy complains that the movie theater has incredibly sticky floors. This ends up being Doof's trap for the episode.
12	* CastingGag: In the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' parody, the Creator/RobertPattinson and Creator/KristenStewart characters are played by Creator/StephenMoyer and Creator/AnnaPaquin from ''Series/TrueBlood'', while the sexy werewolf is played by Creator/MichaelJFox, in a parody of his role in ''Film/TeenWolf''.
13	* ContinuityNod: When Agent P is in his lair, Major Monogram is distracted playing a video game. The music is from "Jump and Duck" from "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbGamingTheSystem Gaming the System]]".
14	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Doofenshmirtz testing his Gimmelshtump-Inator on his bathroom seemed like a good demonstration...until the time came where he had to use it.
15	* ExhaustedEyeBags: Candace has these after becoming a "vampire".
16	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In shots of her being a "vampire," Candace has noticeable bags under her eyes. This was hinting at the ending where Candace suddenly turns into dust under the sun.
17	* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Stacy and Jeremy have a rare scene together without Candace.
18	-->'''Stacy''': Did Candace just jump over that fence?\
19	'''Jeremy''': You had to take her to the vampire movie, didn't you?
20	* FunetikAksent: When Mr. Slushy Dawg is hit by Doof's inator, it becomes a Drusselsteinian pub, and when Candace runs away, Jeremy speaks with a Drusselstinian accent.
21	-->'''Jeremy''': Vat about your muzik box mit ze "Tiny Cowboy"?
22	* HowWeGotHere: Candace walks into the backyard and somehow gains super strength, is able to float, cannot see her reflection and is susceptible to the sun. A quick flashback shows that Phineas and Ferb were taking requests from the gang: to give Isabella's plant more sunlight, to give Baljeet super strength, to make Buford float and to make Irving "invisible".
23	* InstantlyProvenWrong: Phineas tells Candace that she's not a vampire and tries to prove that by removing her hoodie & her glasses. Guess what happens?
24	-->'''Phineas''': We're gonna need a dustpan and some glue.
25	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: At one point, Phineas looks over to Ferb and says that this summer vacation has "felt more than 104 days."
26	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: At the beginning of the episode, the movie that Candace and Stacy watch "Early Evening", which featured a werewolf.
27	* PottyEmergency: While fighting with Perry, Doofenshmirtz calls a time out because he has to go to the bathroom...and remembers he turned it into a Gimmelshtump powder room.
28	* SeriesContinuityError: Carl is able to smell the fragrance on Doofenschmirtz's letter, despite having been previously established to have no sense of smell (due to being born without nostrils).
29	* ShoutOut:
30	** The movie Candace and Stacy were watching is an obvious parody of ''Literature/Twilight2005''. It's apparently titled "''Early Evening''"
31	** When Candace is bitten by the bat, she spins around on the floor running, a la Curly from ''Film/TheThreeStooges''.
32	* StickySituation: While Candace and Stacy are at the movie theater, Stacy gets a shoe stuck on the floor (which is riddled with gum, candy, and soda). Later, Doofenshmirtz uses a tile from the movie theater floor to trap Perry the Platypus.
33	* SubvertedCatchphrase: Doofenshmirtz, when Perry destroys the Gimmelshtump-Inator:
34	-->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Curse you, Perry the Plat-\
35	''Doofenshmirtz's pit toilet turns back into a high-tech, modern bathroom.''\
36	'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Oh. Never mind!
37	* VisualPun: Candace recoils in horror at sunlight, seeing garlic cloves hanging from the ceiling of a restaurant, and a steak from that same restaurant, rather than the kind of stake that would actually kill vampires.
38	* YouSexyBeast: At one point in the Twilight parody, the werewolf character is shirtless, which the vampire character lampshades.
