* ReallyGetsAround: Implied with Patrick's sister, Lisa. Horace comments that she does nothing but stand around and "let guys touch her tits." Later in the movie, the spell fails because she's not a virgin.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: The Scary German Guy, [[spoiler: by virtue of being a Holocaust survivor. Then again, he could be AmbiguouslyGay, or he could simply have been a political opponent to the Nazis]].

* ShipTease: Rudy Halloran with Lisa Rhoades (Patrick's older sister), as he's seen putting his arm around her just before the end credits roll. She has a smirk on her face looks distinctly unimpressed, though, but the two are seen hugging each other as the credits roll.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Both inverted and played straight. Once transformed, the WolfMan is completely subservient to Dracula; when a man, Dracula keeps him tied up and tranquilized [[spoiler: When he escapes, he calls the police - specifically, Del Crenshaw - to warn them about Dracula and his final words are a warning to Del that Dracula is after his son]].

* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: Detective Sapir is [[DeadSidekick Del Crenshaw's partner]], and [[BlackDudeDiesFirst black as well]], but he gets a decent amount of screen time, evidence of his police work, and some good banter with Del, before his admittedly rather stylish death scene.

** Funny thing: Phoebe, who almost can't read (Since she's 5 years old) is WAY more helpful and eficient while casting the spell than [[TheLoad Patrick's Sister]]

** The Mummy also count for this. The Universal mummies where he is based on, are invulnerable/almost invulnerable and immortal undeads. This mummy seems to be based over [[Film/TheMummysHand Kharis]], but even this more traditional mummy is invulnerable to physical attacks, even fire, and is inhumanly strong. Imhotep, in the other hand, is mostly a smart sorcerer with godlike powers on pair with Dracula. Compare those with the powerless
and easily defeated mummy in Monster Squad.
