History Film / Creepshow2

* SarcasmMode: While debating on what to tell George, Annie hypotheitcally, albiet sarcastically, pretends to admit that she was out having sex for money.

* CompanionCube: Ray treats the titular statue like a close friend. Benjamin Whitemoon thinks fondly of the Chief as well, seeing him as a fellow Native American instead of a stereotypical piece of decor.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Happens in two of the three segments:
** Fat Stuff in "Old Chief Wood'nhead" when Sam murders Ray and Martha.
** Randy in "The Raft" when the blob digests Rachel.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: The blob grabs Randy by the foot when it squeezes itself through the cracks of the raft, dissolving it in the process.

* DeathByIrony: Sam really values his head of long, dark hair, saying that it's going to get him "paid and laid" in Hollywood. [[spoiler: He's scalped by Old Chief Wood'nhead.]]

* FailedASpotCheck: The ending reveals that [[spoiler: there was a "No Swimming" sign right next to the teens' car]]. It's somewhat justified since it was covered by bushes, but if the audience could reasonably see it, so could the teens. Then again, it's doubtful they would have heeded the warning.

* CoolCar: Annie's Mercedes. [[spoiler: It quickly ends up as TheAllegedCar after Annie turns it into a smoking, battered wreck trying to get rid of the hitchhiker.]]

* ForWantOfANail: If the power hadn't gone out, Annie would have likely made it home before George did and never run down the hitchhiker.
** Similarly, she could've avoided the whole incident if she wasn't smoking and driving at the same time, as a cigarrette ember on her lap is what made her lose control of the car in the first place.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot:

[[folder: General]]

[[folder: The framing story]]

* BetweenMyLegs: Used in a shot at the end, [[spoiler: shortly before the flytraps appear.]]

* OhCrap: The bullies, when they find out [[spoiler: Billy wasn't fleeing to the abandoned lot; he was ''luring'' them there to be devoured.]]

* SlasherSmile: Billy, [[spoiler: when the Giant Venus flytraps he grew eat the bullies]].
--> "They eat ''meat''!"

[[folder: Old Chief Wood'nhead]]

* CoolCar: Ben Whitemoon’s 1952 Pontiac Chieftain.

[[folder: The Raft]]

* ItCanThink: [[spoiler: The BlobMonster seems to have enough presence of mind to set ambushes for its victims, settling underneath the raft and squeezing itself between the logs, keeping said victims alert and wearing them down mentally and physically to make them easier to catch.]]

[[folder: The Hitchhiker]]

* AssholeVictim: Continuing from the first film, there are certainly quite a few victims worthy of supernatural vengeance. Sam Whitemoon and his two goons in "Old Chief Wood'nhead", everyone except Rachel in "The Raft", and Annie in "The Hitchhiker", not to mention the bullies from the FramingDevice. Really, the only people who ''don't count would be Ray and Martha, the kind elderly couple who get murdered in the first segment.

** "Spruce", Martha and Ray's last name, is actually Tabitha King's maiden name.

* OhCrap: The bullies, when they find out [[spoiler: Billy wasn't fleeing to the abandoned lot.... he was ''luring'' them there to be devoured.]]

* SlasherSmile: Billy, [[spoiler: when the Venus flytraps he grew eat the bullies]].

* BigEater: Vince "Fat Stuff" Gribbens, who is almost always shown stuffing his face with junk food. He's shoving all sorts of candy into his face while Sam and Andy rob the Spruces' store, and is killed while snacking on chicken wings and beer.
* BittersweetEnding: The Spruces are viciously killed, but the titular statue avenged them and returned the stolen turquoise jewelery to Benjamin.

* DyingTown: Dead River, unsuprisingly. Martha even makes a crack about how the town's living up to its name.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Fat Stuff is sickened to the point of vomiting when Sam shoots Martha and Ray. [[spoiler:Sam himself had a brief MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction when Martha died, but he quickly shrugged it off when he went in to off Ray.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Benjamin Whitemoon leaves the Spruces' store, he says goodbye to Old Chief Wood'nhead. The statue nods to Benjamin, briefly startling him, in a manner meant to convey that the Chief is alive.

* ImplacableMan: Old Chief Wood'nhead might as well be a wooden Franchise/{{Terminator}}, because not even bullets will stop him from hunting down and killing Sam and his posse. When Sam locks himself in the bathroom with his gun pointed at the door, what does Chief do? Just go through the wall.

* NiceGuy: Ray is pleasant, well-meaning, charitable, and an all-around Good Samaratin, always willing to put the needs of others before his own. His wife Martha is introduced as being a little rougher around the edges, but she eventually opens up and shares her husband's mindset once Benjamin gives him the jewels. It's a punch to the gut when Sam murders both of them in cold blood, but it also gives plenty of incentive for Old Chief Wood'nhead to go after the punks.

* ShadowDiscretionShot: Andy's death by tomahawk.
* ShowWithinAShow: ''Series/TheCiscoKid'' is playing on TV in all of the victims' houses right before Chief shows up to wreak his vengeance on them.
* StealthPun: Native American Ben Whitemoon drives a Pontiac Chieftain. Chieftain is a title associated with Native Americans, and Pontiac himself was a Native American Chief.
* TheSavageIndian: Old Chief Wood'nhead, and with good reason.
* TeensAreMonsters: Sam Whitemoon and his buddies. During their robbery of the Spruce's store, Ray rebukes Sam as a disgrace to his people, finding it unbelievable that the blood of someone as honorable and polite as Benjamin flows through his veins.

* WeSellEverything: The Spruces' general store. If you look closely, they sell canned food, candy, produce, keys, hardware, beer, etc.

* AdaptationalDumbass: ''All'' of the teens get this. They apparently miss [[spoiler:the sign warning them to keep out of the lake]], which wasn't there in the original short story. The story somewhat justifies it when Randy points out that it's the off-season and there's probably no caretaker on duty, so no one is going to find them. In the film, Randy thinks it's a good idea to taunt the blob when [[spoiler:he seems to have escaped it]]. In the book, he was reduced to begging when it swam under the raft to prevent him from sitting down.

* FailedASpotCheck: The ending reveals that [[spoiler: there was a "No Swimming" sign right next to the teens' car]]. It's somewhat justified since it was covered by bushes, but if the audience could reasonably see it, so could the characters. Then again, it's doubtful they would have heeded the warning.

* ItCanThink: [[spoiler: The BlobMonster seems to have enough presence of mind to set ambushes for its victims, settling underneath the raft and squeezing itself partially between the logs, keeping said victims on alert and wearing them down mentally and physically to make them easier to catch and kill.]]
* IdiotBall: For most of the segment, Randy is the only intelligent person around, taking immediate alarm of the blob when it first appears. Then, he inexplicably becomes a rapist, groping Laverne as she sleeps and neglecting to look out for the blob. As a result of this action, he and Laverne are killed.

* MuckMonster: The main antagonist is some formless blob that looks like an oil slick and has a hunger for flesh.
* MythologyGag: Laverne wears a Horlicks University t-shirt. Horlicks University was the college featured in "The Crate" in the first film.

* RuleOfScary: We know next to nothing about the blob. We especially don't know if it was manmade, something from another planet, or some sort of supernatural creature. All we know is that it's a man-eating predator that wont stop until its hunger is sated.
* SacrificialLamb: Rachel. Being the first to go, she isn't around long enough to show any of the JerkAss qualities of her friends. The source material also makes her out to be the most likable of the teenagers.

* BackFromTheDead: The hitchhiker.

* ChekhovsGunman: The motorist who first stops to check on the hitchhiker's body turns out to be Annie's husband George, which is why he has a car phone, and why he's late to get home for the first time in his life.

* HostileHitchhiker: The titular hitchhiker becomes this after becoming a zombie.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Annie cares more about not ending up in divorce court than taking responsibility when she accidentally kills someone and tries to cover it up. [[spoiler:She pays dearly for her selfishness.]]
* ImplacableMan: The titular hitchhiker is pretty damn persistent, being undead helps.

* OutsideRide: Happens twice to the zombified hitchhiker. His first ride is on the roof with, his hand trapped in the sunroof, while his second is on the hood after he ''crawls up from the undercarriage'', leading to the CarFu moment above.
* RedemptionRejection: While evaluating her options after killing the hitchhiker, Annie muses that she could possibly do the right thing and turn herself in. She snaps out of it pretty quickly after deciding that no one witnessed the accident.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Annie repeatedly goes above and beyond to ensure that the hitchhiker will finally stay dead, like ramming her car against his head over and over when he's splayed against a tree. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]
