* {{Gorn}}:
** Throughout the early parts of the film, blood progressively comes out more and more from every orifice possible, including the ears and eye sockets. A teacher bleeds from the rectum and then vomits impossible amounts of blood onto a student.
** Once the forbidden verse has been played, the gorn is more similar to zombie slasher movies.



* {{Main/Metalhead}}: The entire film is about a group of high school metalheads who accidentally summon an ancient evil by playing a piece of old sheet music they found in the home of one of their heavy metal idols.
