* EarthShatteringKaboom: In "Little Girl Lost" Professor Putnam, a military scientist, has delusions that his dead daughter is alive. A wounded pilot becomes his bodyguard and must act as if he is interacting with the daughter. At the end of the episode it is revealed that the scientist has realized that his daughter is dead and has found a way to be reunited with her and get revenge on those who killed her. And it turns out he has been working on nuclear fission. Oops.

* NothingIsScarier: "The Cemetery." We never actually see the old man rise from his grave, but just seeing it happening on the painting and imagining it happening for real makes it all the more frightening. The same occurs for his nephew at the end. And unlike the previous case, this time it's happening ''for real''.

* ObfuscatingDisability: One episode had a con man faking being crippled to collect a fat settlement visiting a shrine in Mexico with reputed miraculous healing powers visited by sick and infirm pilgrims - he intends to get "cured" and walk out scot-free in front of an insurance investigator. As he saunters out, a miracle ''does'' occur - just as a blind child gains sight again, the con man's miraculously stricken blind.

Added DiffLines:

* OriginalPositionFallacy: Dr. Fletcher from "Deliveries in the Rear" needs corpses for his classes, and he doesn't really care how his providers get them, arguing that the knowledge is more important, and that one life isn't too big a sacrifice if it saves many others. The segment ends with his horrified discovery that the providers killed his fiancee when he tasked them with getting a female cadaver.

* NightmareFetishist: The hippie protagonist of "Hell's Bells" actually finds the idea of a FireandBrimstoneHell amusing, and can't wait to go when he finds himself in Hell's waiting room. Unfortunately for him, the devil has other ideas in store for him.
