"The Campfire"

Abandoned Area: The cast find a decrepit church in the woods, and decide to camp there for the night.
And You Were There: The people in the campfire stories are based on people seen by Cliff before he died, such as a couple he almost ran off the road and the two paramedics.
Bittersweet Ending: Though everyone died in the car wreck, Cliff at least appears to obtain forgiveness from his friends before they all pass on into the afterlife.
The Reveal: The Twist Ending reveals that most of the campers actually died in the car crash. The not-so-dead Cliff learns the truth and sheds a Single Tear just before he Flatlines.
The Stinger: There's a scene in the middle of the credits with a car driven by a hook handed man arriving on the crash site. It is the same hook and the car from the opening segment.

All in the Eyes: The rear mirror does this effect on Eddie and Jenny when they look around them.
Auto Erotica: Eddie and Jenny are trying to make out in their car, but the girl keeps seeing something in the dark.
Deliberately Monochrome: It's all in black and white.
Evil Cripple: Willy "The Hook" Peters, whose name derives from the fact that he has a hook in place of a hand, and is implied to be a vicious criminal.
The Ghost: We never actually get to see the hook-handed killer, just his hook hand. At least until The Stinger of the wraparound segment.
Hook Hand: After driving to burger joint, Eddie finds the killer's detached hook hand hanging on to his car door.
Urban Legend: The story of the couple at Make-Out Point and the hook-handed killer is a famous urban legend.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Cole has his jaw ripped off; Ricky is ripped open and left hanging by his ankle from a tree on top of the trailer.
Don't Go in the Woods: Staying in the woods spells doom, since something hunts for people there.
Evil Is Bigger: The crow men are rather tall.
Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: It's Ricky and Valerie's honeymoon.
Lunacy: Cole warns the newlyweds that "they" come out to hunt during full moon. And they do.
No Party Like a Donner Party: Ricky wants to go check the Clayton's Cavern, where a bunch of pioneers had to resort to cannibalism to survive. Valerie convinces him to have sex instead.
Our Werebeasts Are Different: The "crow men" are at least somewhat lycanthropic in nature, being flesh-eating humanoid monsters that come out to hunt human prey on full moons.
Urban Legend: Very loosely based on the tale of a couple at a Make-Out Point when their car breaks down and the boyfriend goes to look for help, but is murdered by an escaped lunatic and his corpse is strung up above the car, his feet tapping against the hood.

Bad People Abuse Animals: "Jessica" kills Odin and leaves his corpse under Amanda's bed.
Couldn't Find a Pen: True to the source material, "Jessica" smears the titular message on Amanda's mirror in blood.
G.I.R.L.: "Jessica", whom Amanda has been chatting with in the internet is actually a man, who now knows that she is alone for the night.
Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: Amanda's 12th birthday is tomorrow.
Internet Safety Aesop: Or "Chatroom Safety Aesop". Though it seems the antagonist of the feature might have already known where Amanda lived before they started chatting online.
Karma Houdini: According to Cliff, "Jessica" is still out there.
Ms. Fanservice: The perpetually cleavage-baring Katherine is played by the gorgeous Devon Odessa.
Serial Killer: "Jessica" keeps videotapes of the children he's stalked, and considering that he keeps a pair of garden shears handy, it seems pretty likely that he kills them.
Shear Menace: "Jessica" picks up a pair of old garden shears from the backyard bushes as he stalks Amanda's home.
Urban Legend: Based on the urban legend where a young woman or girl is menaced by a killer who kills her dog and hides under her bed, licking her hand all the while.
Would Hurt a Child: It's implied that the antagonist of the story has molested and/or killed a lot of little girls.

Badass Longcoat: The father's ghost wears a long, black overcoat that helps to solidify his menace.
Cute Mute: Heather can't talk, but Scott is stricken by her beauty.
Gainax Ending: Scott opens the locket, and sees a picture of himself alongside one of Heather. Then Heather's head falls off. It isn't ever made clear if it's an ancestor of his, or if he's a ghost himself.
Haunted House: Heather's home is haunted by ghosts. And she's one of them.
Living Memory: The father's ghost repeats the events of him murdering his family. If someone else is present while he does it, they are in danger too.
My God, What Have I Done?: The father's reaction — almost verbatim — to murdering Heather and her lover.
The Reveal: Heather has been Dead All Along.
The Voiceless: Heather doesn't speak, and communicates with Scott by writing on a blackboard. She is unable to speak because her father cut off her head in the past. Once Scott removes her locket, she can speak but her head then falls off right in front of him.
