* NegativeContinuity: The Halloween special explains Carrie was born a Ghost. Her first appearance in the series, however, makes clear she used to be alive.
* NeverSayDie: Originally subverted then played straight with Carrie. Originally, she was said to be a dead girl, both in the show and WordOfGod. The Halloween special retcons this to say that Carrie was born a ghost, and this is actually pivotal to the plot, as it explains why Carrie is not bound to face the limitation other ghosts have, such as being forced to live in the Underworld. Of course, the Halloween special also subverts this trope, since the other ghosts, who are all dragged to the Underworld in the end, would logically be dead people.
