  • Catharsis Factor: Seeing as Howard Prince had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it's very satisfying seeing him devoured by his victims in the end.
  • Complete Monster: Howard Prince is a charming man who courts rich older women and poisons them after they marry. Introduced callously murdering Matilda Mason, Howard learns he and his partner, Morty, are due in court for tax evasion, so targets Effie Gluckman. While wooing Effie, Howard starts receiving letters telling him to end his crime spree, causing him to grow paranoid and kill Morty, his unknowing accomplice Baxter, and Effie's butler, Stanhope. After killing Effie by throwing her down the stairs, Howard is contacted by the local gravedigger, who Howard kills by impaling him with his shovel when he believes he is the one blackmailing him.
