''Suburban Gothic'' is a 2014 horror-comedy.
Forced to move back in with his parents after graduating law school, Raymond spends his days getting by, chatting up the local bartender. One day, his father's gardeners dig up the corpse of a little girl, and he begins to see ghosts.
!!Tropes featured in this work:
* AbusiveParents: Donald, to Raymond, of the emotional and verbal variety. He takes every opportunity he can to belittle his son and makes it clear he's disappointed in him.
* AmbiguouslyBi: When the museum curator, Cornelius (played by Creator/JohnWaters), requests a blowjob in exchange for Hannah Longstreet's corpse, he nearly takes him up on the offer. While he'd only shown interest in Becca beforehand, this moment coupled with his CampStraight mannerisms might call his sexuality into question.
* ButtMonkey: Raymond is haunted by ghosts, seen as a disappointment by his father, and receives bullying from his former classmates. Though he grows out of it by the end, or at least into an IronButtMonkey.
* DeadpanSnarker: Raymond almost always has a sarcastic quip towards everyone who mouths off to him or threatens him.

'''Raymond:''' Well, dad, I appreciate your concern, and your criticism of everything I've ever done in my life, but I'm gonna have to politely disagree with you, based mainly on the fact that you dress like a drug dealer.
* FormerlyFat: Raymond, as a child. He received a lot of bullying for it.
* GroinAttack: Donald gets two of them. [[spoiler:First when he's masturbating in the bathroom and the ghost starts doing the job for him ... then violently snaps his boner upward. After being released from the hospital and failing to get Raymond committed, Becca punches him in the dick.]]
* HumiliationCongaLine: Donald, almost literally. [[spoiler:At the end, he fails to have his son committed when the cops show up and see the ghosts of Hannah and Ambrose Longstreet reuniting in the afterlife, is told "fuck you" to his face by his own son, then punched in the crotch by Becca, slapped in the face by his wife, forced to sell his house, and finally divorced. Quite frankly, though, [[LaserGuidedKarma he had it all coming]].]]
* JerkJock: Donald is a football coach and a terrible parent. He's also unabashedly racist and homophobic, even towards his football players.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Raymond and Donald get a moment alone and Raymond tries to bond with him, and for a moment, it looks like he found his soft spot. Then Donald just says this, followed by silence.
-->'''Donald:''' Raymond ... you're my son.
* StepfordSmiler: Eve is always sweet to Raymond and tries to diffuse conflicts between him and Donald. By the end, it's pretty clear that a lot of it's an act and that she realizes how much of a {{Jerkass}} her husband is.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: A homophobic student gets on Raymond's nerves when he's substituting for his father, culminating in him shaming her [[YouAreWhatYouHate for being everything she tried to rebel against]]. She starts to tear up when he's done.
* TheToothHurts: The man's ghost rips out his teeth and drops them on the floor.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Raymond gets this treatment from Donald, who admits to having been disappointed in him all his life. The closest he ever gets to receiving anything resembling affection from him is when Donald acknowledges him as his son.
* WrongGenreSavvy: For the most part, downplayed with Raymond, who has been seeing ghosts since his childhood, and is quick to realize a haunting when he sees one. He even goes seeking out Hannah's body when it's missing, believing that burying her back in her grave will put her to rest and end the haunting. [[spoiler:This is where he turns out to be wrong; it's her necklace that she seeks.]]
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Raymond's aforementioned TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
