* RecklessGunUsage: Frederick gives his party guests "party favors" in the form of fully loaded guns. While they're in a supposedly haunted house which is repeatedly jump-scaring them. Which they then go on to repeatedly point at each other by mistake. [[spoiler: Downplayed when he reveals that he only loaded them with blanks. Also, justified in that Annabelle's whole plan is for one of the guests to get scared into shooting her husband.]]

* BulletproofFashionPlate: Loren's hair stays neat and his suit immaculate even after he is [[spoiler:shot with blanks, which in real life at such a close distance would likely cause burns to his clothes at least, and then dragged across the cellar floor (in a house that hasn't been cleaned in a long time) by Dr Trent while playing dead.]]

* WildCard: Frederick Loren. He's not the villain (that would be [[spoiler:Annabelle]]) and is in fact working against the villain, but he can't easily be called a hero. He ''might'' be a serial killer, but we never know for certain. His motivation is mysterious for most of the story (though it turns out to be [[spoiler:to defeat Annabelle and Dr Trent's plan to murder him, and murder them instead]]), leaving the other characters constantly unsure whether he's on their side or not. Loren manipulates all the other characters for his own ends and also seems to get quite a bit of amusement out of the whole situation, treating it like a game.

* RichGenius: Frederick Loren is a very clever schemer and manipulator who outwits all the other characters, and [[spoiler:uses an elaborate skeleton contraption that seems to be his own invention]] as a major part of his plan. He's also a millionaire, though it's not stated how he made his money beyond that he owns various unspecified businesses.

* MillionairePlayboy: Frederick Loren is stated to be this, and has been married four times with all his wives apparently having been younger than him and quite beautiful. It's not focussed on much in the film given the circumstances, though he does still find a bit of time to flirt with, or at least compliment the appearance of, some of the female characters.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Discussed by Annabelle Loren, who says that Frederick believes a man as rich as him can get away with anything. While she's not a reliable source of information, she may well be telling the truth about this: [[spoiler:it's implied he will get away with killing Annabelle and Dr Trent, and while it's left ambiguous if he did murder his first three wives, if he ''did'', it appears he got away with it in part due to this trope.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Loren ends up coming across as somewhat preferable to Annabelle simply because he never tries to harm the protagonists, while [[spoiler:Annabelle has been gaslighting Nora and trying to frame her.]] He's still not a good person, though how true the various accusations against him are is left ambiguous.

* DoWrongRight: When Frederick Loren is accused of murdering his wife, he's offended...because he's not stupid enough to kill her in such an obvious and suspicious way when he had plenty of opportunities to do it and never be suspected.
