2* NightmareFuel: The way poor Jer the bartender screams "''HELP ME!!''" just before the gargoyle decapitates him. Also nightmare fuel in-story, since Preston is still haunted by it in his dreams even years later.
3* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JulianneMoore makes her film debut as Susan in the ''Lot 249'' segment.
4* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/{{Creepshow}}'' and ''Film/Creepshow2''. Considering on how the television series was initially pitched as a spinoff to ''Creepshow'', it isn't much of a stretch.

The following bit of her taking off through the roof of Preston's apartment however is achieved with some [[SpecialEffectFailure rough stop motion work]].
