* GoodAllAlong: The Trucker from ''He Told Me not to Look in the Back Seat'' seems that he's a sadistic serial killer who is keeping his most recent victim in the back seat, who has been blinded and mutilated. He's really a HunterOfMonsters who disposes of what hikers turn into if they [[StayOnThePath leave the trails to go exploring the caves in the woods]]. The thing in the back seat *is* the girl who went missing, but she's been warped into a creature that haunts anyone who looks directly at her.

* "Literature/{{Doors}}"

** The monster from ''The Horror from the Vault'' collects people and animals and fuses them with itself or turns them into MeatMoss.

* BodyOfBodies: The "[[OurGhoulsAreCreepier ghoul]]" from ''The Horror From the Vault'' is able to [[spoiler:assimilate living tissue by drowning people and animals in its pond]]. It also produces "mounds" of flesh-covered organs, seamlessly fused together and completely functional despite being from several different species. One of the [[MindRape nightmares it induces]] is about a creature not unlike the Legion from [=CastleVania=] replacing the sun. The creature itself looks like a GiantEnemyCrab made out of fused bodies.

* EvilAllAlong: The ending of "The Scarecrow Murders" reveals [[spoiler:Emma was trying to set Tyler up as the third sacrifice for the Stranger, and dismissively shrugs him off as someone nobody would miss]].

* EvilSmellsBad: The creature from ''The Horror From the Vault'' smells like an infected wound. Its lair smells like stagnant blood, urine, and stomach acid.

* IntrepidReporter: Tyler from "The Scarecrow Murders" is a [[FishOutOfWater city mouse]] journalist who investigates the titular murders in a TownWithADarkSecret.

* KillItWithIce: The third ''Horror from the Vault'' story has one of the creatures make it to England, where it nearly freezes to death.

* MeatMoss:
** ''Dogscape'' is about the world being entirely covered in a canid EldritchAbomination.
** The creature in ''The Horror From the Vault'' creates a mess of the stuff in the clearing where it nests. If that's not bad enough, the animals it makes it from are [[AndIMustScream still alive and conscious,]] trying to escape...

* OurGhoulsAreCreepier:
** The base form of the creature from "The Horror from the Vault" is described as "a ghoul with no face". It's a larval form of [[spoiler:TheAssimilator]].
** "Box Borne Wraith" is about a mobster who is BuriedAlive, and makes friends with the famine-struck colony of Lovecraft-style ghouls who dig him... down. He offers to send them his old mob buddies if they let him go.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Emma delivers one to the Stranger in "The Scarecrow Murders".
-->'''Emma:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Stop talking]]. We're done. You're a coward and a worm. You were so afraid of my grandad you wouldn't step foot in Claremont until he was dead. He must have hurt you something awful back in fifty-five, huh?

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of "The Scarecrow Murders", [[spoiler:Tyler decides to leave town after figuring out he was set up as a ritual sacrifice]].

** Sometimes, a few Creepypastas may play with these tropes and have it be revealed that the paranormal activity is actually them. [[spoiler Best examples are in "Love", in which the paranormal activity is revealed as a GuardianAngel, and "The Man in the Purple Shirt" where the titular title is actually a GuardianEntity against a HumanoidAbomination.]]
