* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Amy is the seemingly kind-hearted old high-school flame who paid Heck to deliver a letter to her husband in Hell. Her husband, as it turns out, had been sent to the lowest circle of Hell for embezzling money from his company. When Heck reads him the letter, we learn that Amy was behind the embezzling scam, and only sent the letter to her husband in order to find out where the money was hidden, not caring about her husband's eternal torment.]]

* AndIMustScream: It follows [[Literature/TheDivineComedy Dante's ''Inferno'']] to a T, so all those punishments appear here too: the Wood of the Suicides, the sorcerers with their heads turned backwards, the traitors frozen in ice ...
* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins: Satan remains in charge, Amy gets away with all the money, and Heck is none the wiser.]]
* BandageMummy: Heck's sidekick Elliot, who suffered some ... unspecified injuries on a previous trip. He is literally covered in bandages, speaks slowly and haltingly, has sharp, pointy teeth, and is a good two feet shorter than he used to be. It's sort of PlayedForLaughs, sort of not.

* [[spoiler:LaserGuidedAmnesia: Apparently, every time Heck leaves Hell, most of his memories of the journey are erased. Which means he doesn't remember just how terrifying and disturbing it is-until the ''[[FridgeHorror next]]'' time he goes there ...]]
* PlaceBeyondTime: As Heck says, "Everything down there is ''always'' happening." He and Elliot don't need to eat while they're down there, and time will pass differently from the mortal world. [[spoiler:In fact, they seem to return to Earth at the moment ''just before they left.'']]
