* ReactiveContinuousScream: Parodied. After the LetsSplitUpGang mentioned above, the group reunites while running and screaming, and use the pitch and intonation to ''communicate'' with each other, purely through screams:
-->'''Jeff & Britta:''' [screaming]
-->'''Troy & Shirley & Annie:''' [screaming too]
-->'''J & B:''' [screaming with a rising pitch, as if asking, "Wait, does the direction you came from ''also'' have something frightening? We were heading that way."]
-->'''T & S & A:''' [screaming emphatically to say, "Yes, obviously. We're wasting time here!"]

* CriticalResearchFailure: Once again, an in-universe example with Britta who clearly makes up everything she knows about "psychology." Though to be fair, while her knowledge is skewed, she pinpoints Jeff's relationship with his dad to a T.
** Possibly not her fault; Greendale does have notoriously bad teachers and curriculum.

Jeff teams up with Britta, but soon enough the two of them are more entangled in discussing Jeff's DaddyIssues and NotSoDifferent relation to Pierce than actually looking for the MacGuffin. Annie and Abed take off as a duo as well, but Abed soon disappears into the heart of the mansion, leaving Annie to experience a variety of scary movie references [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure that she does not get]] by herself. Troy and Shirley investigate a part of the mansion Shirley'd hoped Troy would never be exposed to. Meanwhile, the house appears to be trying to get to them, but it's not just that they need to worry about...

* MirrorCharacter: Jeff spends the episode aggressively denying Britta's suggestions that he is in any way similar to Pierce in relation to their DaddyIssues, pointing out that while Pierce's father was still around, Jeff's abandoned him. He ends up discovering that he has closer similarities than he's comfortable with to Gilbert, who ''was'' abandoned by his father.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The study group figured it was a fifty-fifty chance that Pierce was pranking them because they know him too well. When they finally unlock the panic room and see he faked another heart attack, they are amused when Pierce admits he put on the whole show. Jeff looks annoyed but unsurprised when Pierce explains how he pulled off every prank.



* BookcasePassage: Abed goes about tipping the books outward on the book shelf attempting to invoke this. The bookcase doesn't flip until he tips the troll doll named [[MythologyGag Torg.]] Used as a gag in TheTag.

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Annie thinks she's being subjected to several horror movie references when Pierce's house attacks her, and shouts (to no one in particular) that she wouldn't get any of the references, since she doesn't watch scary movies.
