1!! '''The band:'''
2* AccidentalAesop: "Mad House" gives us 'control your temper', [[SpaceWhaleAesop or else your own house will come to life and try to kill you]].
3* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The VillainProtagonist from "Such Horrible Things" sings about how he deserves to be punished for his crimes in violent ways like having his head chopped off and being fried in the electric chair. Does he regret his crimes at all? (Which seems unlikely since he laughs about having caused a car accident when he was 14.) Is he some kind of masochist who likes to suffer as much as he makes others suffer? Or has he decided that death would be preferable to the insane asylum he's been sentenced to for the rest of his life?
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "The Unearthly Ones", "The Greatest Show Unearthed", "The House of Myth", "Such Horrible Things", "A Gorey Demise".
5* CompleteMonster: "[[http://www.creaturefeaturemusic.com/dr-sawbones/ Dr. Sawbones]]": [[MadDoctor Dr. Sawbones]] presents as a [[WickedCultured cultured gentleman]], but is secretly a sadistic SerialKiller. Stalking the streets every night, Sawbones finds random people to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath gorily butcher]] with his medical implements. Lacking a victim pattern, he picks people at complete random, and his only motive is [[ForTheEvulz love of the deed]], being described as "happy as can be" when stalking his victims.
6* MagnificentBastard: "Grave Robber at Large" from ''It Was a Dark and Stormy Night...'': The [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] grave robber spends his nights stalking graveyards, [[GraveRobbing digging up bodies to sell off]]. Being picky with what's worth the effort, the robber specifically notes that [[PragmaticVillainy sufficiently old corpses are safe]], while prioritizing expediency to maximize profit and expressing a willingness to "Think outside the box if all else fails." Despite being motivated by pure {{Greed}}, the robber makes it clear he's no sadist and it's NothingPersonal. However, he also seems to love his job, being wholly unrepentant about plundering the "garden of riches".
7* MemeticMutation: Comments for "A Gorey Demise" usually boils down to commentors spelling out their names based on the horrible fates in the song. A sub-meme is having people horrified for the fate for T ("T is for Tori who froze in the snow") and associating it with Toriel from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', or associating S ("S is for Steve who was shot with a bow") with Steve from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.
8* RealismInducedHorror: Quite a bit for an otherwise monster-themed band.
9** "A Gorey Demise" has half its deaths realistic, whether there be freezing or even a miscarriage.
10** "Bound and Gagged" deals with the ''very'' real threat of a child kidnapped for ransom.
11** "Here There Be Witches" involves the witch trials of old and how the puritans were consumed by their beliefs to murder anyone they suspected of witchcraft.
12* SignatureSong: "The Greatest Show Unearthed", or "A Gorey Demise". "Bad Blood", "Buried Alive,", and "Such Horrible Things" are also candidates.
