* ItsPersonal: One his favorite recurring premises is a young woman suddenly showing up in the life of another woman, with the two women becoming close confidants, only the second woman isn't aware that the first woman blames her for the death of someone close to her, and her ''real'' agenda is to get {{Revenge}}. He's used it in ''Home Invasion'' (the girlfriend of a burglar goes after the woman who killed him as he was robbing her home), ''Film/DeadlyGarageSale'' (same as ''Home Invasion'', except it's ''sister'' of the dead burglar), ''Look Who's Stalking'' (the sister of a man who who suffered a fatal heart attack while stalking a woman becomes the woman's personal assistant and tries to ruin her life, with the vengeance-seeker played by the same actress, Juliana Destefano, as the vengeance-seeker in ''Deadly Garage Sale''), and ''My Doctor's Secret Life'' (the daughter of a man who got into a relationship with his psychiatrist and died in a drunken car crash after the doctor broke up with him becomes the psychiatrist's patient solely to ruin her life).

** ''Spinning Out of Control'' goes with a novel variation on this, with the villain being a female ex-con who obsesses over a female fitness guru, who she views as some kind of role model or life coach, but she also seems to crave friendship from her, plus some [[HomoeroticSubtext vague hints of sexual obsession as well]].

* ShoutOut: Campbell clearly loves the work of Creator/AlfredHitchcock, and will usually stick a Hitchcock homage somewhere in his movies. Sometimes it's obvious, like ''Stalked By My Neighbor'' basically being a TeenDrama version of ''Film/RearWindow'', the finale of ''Deadly Mile High Club'' being based on the crop duster scene of ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'', or [[Film/{{Psycho}} murder in the shower]] in ''Bad Sister''. Other times, he picks less-famous Hitchcock films, like borrowing the "car with sabotaged brakes careens down a steep, winding mountain road" scene from ''Film/FamilyPlot'' for ''Pom Poms and Payback''. There's also Creator/DianeBaker (Lil Mainwaring in ''Film/{{Marnie}}'') appearing in ''The Surrogate''.
