* VillainsWantMercy: If you smack one of the chainsaw-wielding bullies, he'll drop it and run away, sometimes telling you to relax.

* {{Jerkass}}: A lot of the kids laugh at the Freak whenever he's wearing a jack o'lantern. Then of course, there's the bullies, and his mother.
* KillItWithFire: Occasionally, bullies will use molotov cocktails to kill the Freak. The Freak himself uses this ability to a lesser extent. Some of the jack o'lanterns he wears still have a candle inside, and he can shoot the flame out at enemies to temporarily stun them. Played straighter when he [[spoiler:uses them on his mother.]]
* MacheteMayhem: Another common weapon used by the bullies. It's a OneHitKill if the Freak isn't wearing a pumpkin.
* NonMaliciousMonster: There's nothing to say that the Freak particularly ''wants'' to beat up kids. In fact, if he loses the pumpkin he's wearing or his mask falls off, he'll cower in fear, unable to attack. He just wants their candy, and obviously, they aren't going to just hand it over to him. His killing of the dogs and bullies is purely self-defense.
* VillainProtagonist: While very much a NonMaliciousMonster, the Freak still goes around beating up kids for their candy.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: One mutation that the Freak can use is a half-face mask that will only stay on temporarily, but grants him the courage to attack.

''Freak o' Lantern'' is a 2013 flash game from Evil-Dog, with art by [=SickDeathFiend=], the same team behind ''VideoGame/RoadOfTheDead''.
It's Halloween, and a mutant creature has escaped from the custody of his abusive mother. Now he's loose, and he's hungry ... for candy.
----
!!Tropes featured in this game:
* AbusiveParents: The whole plot of the game is the Freak escaping his abusive mother to hoard as much candy as possible. She later tries to kill him, all while raving that she should have aborted him.
* AssholeVictim:
** It should say a lot that you can't kill any of the kids you beat up for their candy, but the bullies go to pieces when you're through with them.
** [[spoiler:The Freak's mother is most certainly one, given her banter as he fights her.]]
* BodyHorror: The player character is a small, deformed monster. [[spoiler:His mother is even worse, having three heads, one of which is fused with her chest.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:The Freak kills his mother and is last seen sitting atop a mountain of Halloween candy while chewing on a caramel apple.]]
* FreudianSlip:
-->'''Kid:''' Next year, I'm dressing up as a dildo — I mean, [[Franchise/TheLordOfTheRings Bilbo]]!
* {{Gorn}}: Surprisingly little of it, given its animator. The only gore involved is when dogs and bullies are killed, plus the final boss.
* HypocriticalHumor: On some occasions, a bully will quip, "I hate Halloween!" while smashing a pumpkin. Said bully may also be wearing a clown mask.
* WouldHurtAChild: They look and talk more like teenagers than actual children, but the Freak's main objective is to beat them up and take their candy.
