An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 16 (click to see context) :
* AnAxeToGrind: Jacob's weapon of choice is a fire axe.

Jacob was possessed.
* BlatantLies: The film is often promoted with the idea that Jacob is killing as revenge for the prank his friends tried to pull on him. But; with the haunted location, the story that Jacob tells about a worker who got possessed, and Brenda unmasking Jacob to reveal a decaying face underneath, it's pretty obviously a case of possession.
* CoolMask: Jacob's gas mask, combined with a bit of InTheHood, gives him a pretty cool appearance.
* DemonicPossession: The setting of the film is an old haunted factory where a chemical fire took the lives of many workers. Because of this, there is a particularly nasty spirit that ends up taking control of Jacob, causing him to become the film's BigBad.
