* ThatWasNotADream: Bart gets hit over the head and knocked out. He wakes up to find himself bcak outside Club Styxx where he got [[GrievousBottleyHarm hit in the face with a bottle]] at the start of the film. His friends tell him he has been unconscious and insist on taking him to the hospital. Bart convinces himself that every he experienced after being hit by the bottle was just a nightmare. However, the trip to hospital becomes increasingly surreal and nightmarish, and he realizes that ''this'' is actual the dream, just before he wakes up back in the country house.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: It is hard to see why Bart's friends hang out with him. He is whiny and obnoxious, won't take any kind of hint, starts trouble that Ladj and Thai have to bail him out of, and has bad breath. He even hits on their girlfriends. Ladj and Thai constantly insult him, and Thai performs a puppet show mocking him. In the dream Bart has while conscious, they both abandon him and tell him he's on his own.

* AtTheStrokeOfMidnight: The events of the film all lead up to the birth of the demonic child, which legend says will occurs as the church bells toll midnight on Christmas Eve.



* InnocentlyInsensitive: Joseph comes across as this when he refers to Thai as a 'chink' and Yasmine as a 'camel driver', as he appears to be a well-meaning yokel who doesn't know any better. Later, Jasmine seems to treating him calling her 'little camel driver' as a term of affection. However, when he refer to Ladj as 'nigger' and 'coon' during the drunken Christmas dinner, it becomes apparent that his political incorrectness might not be as innocent as it first seemed.
