* AnAesop:
** "Krampus": Being "on the nice list" isn't restricted to children: everyone should strive to be nicer, especially around Christmas.
** "The Christmas Present": Don't let desperation blind you around the holidays. If something is too good to be true, then it ''really is'' too good to be true.
** "Julianna": BystanderSyndrome is [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse no excuse]] for letting someone hurt others. If you allow somebody to bully or hurt someone else, you're just as responsible as the bully for enabling them.
** "Child of the Cliff": There's a saying, "All children deserve parents, but not all parents deserve children." Alternatively, if you're a parent, how your child looks shouldn't matter as much as loving them unconditionally.
** "The Noonwraith": Rules aren't there to cramp your style, they exist to keep you safe. Also, [[PeerPressureMakesYouEvil don't let yourself be suckered in by peer pressure]], just because you want to seem cool in front of your friends; you lie with dogs, you get fleas.
** "Whispers that bite": Mean words ''can'' leave their scars. That's why it's important to be careful what you say and speak kind words more often. Alternatively, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you are more than what people say about you]].
** "The Collector": Don't make promises just for the sake of pleasing everyone, make them if you're certain you can afford to keep them.
** "The Red Death": Rules aren't just for "the general public". Everybody, rich and poor, is obligated to follow them. Also, ''death doesn't play favorites''.
** "Queen Bee": BeYourself and don't try to fit in with the "in" crowd.
** "Revenge of the Japanese Spirit": Evil wins when [[BystanderSyndrome good men do nothing]].

* DaylightHorror: In "The Noonwraith", Ola and Sophie go out into a field on a sweltering day. Sophie ends up dead at the hands of the titular spirit, and Ola only escapes thanks to her little brother's intervention. It makes sense given that the Noonwraith (also known as "Lady Afternoon") is the personification of heatstroke.

* ProphecyTwist: "The thing that will kill you is gathering skins, the thing that will kill you is sharpening its teeth, the thing that will kill you is washing the blood off its claws, the thing that will kill you is gathering skins, the thing that will kill you... you won't see it coming." [[spoiler: As it turns out, the thing that allegedly will kill the narrator is not a monster (in the loose sense) but an ordinary man named Michael Carton. She discovers this by piecing together that all the things he's doing (in possession of Tina's scalp, flossing, showering, removing his coat) respectively mirror what "the thing" does.]]

** In "Child of the Cliff", Pastel and Greg prayed that their second child would be born... differently than their first one. [[spoiler: Their wish comes true and their baby (Angela) is born with beautiful features. The problem is, she's actually ''their first child'' who purposefully reincarnated to be prettier. And she remembers all too well [[OffingTheOffspring what happened in her past life]].]]

** In "Revenge of the Japanese Spirit", give off the

** "Revenge of the Japanese Spirit" has Kido.

* VengefulGhost: Reconstructed in "Killer Threads". [[spoiler: Claire is reincarnated as a ghost that lives on her in red dress. And through whoever wears her dress, she can hunt down serial killers who like to kill their dates, just as Ethan killed her. Although the protagonist acknowledges that Claire's mission is more out of revenge than justice, they're nonetheless doing the world a favor to just "take out some of the trash that make [other girls] fearful, the rotten apples".]]

* PlotAllergy: In "Elizabeth", the protagonist is allergy to peanuts. This comes into play when the [[BattleaxeNurse murderous Elizabeth Wettlaufer]] tricks him into eating shrimp with peanut oil, lying through her teeth [[BlatantLies it doesn't have peanut oil]].

* ObviouslyEvil: A variety in "Killer Threads". [[spoiler: While he's not a DastardlyWhiplash kind of evil, Ethan ''is'' a human approximation of red flags, as he does all sorts of things that set off the protagonist's alarm. From acting please when she claims to have had too much wine, right down to mentioning his last girlfriend wore the same red dress, it's transparent that no woman should trust Ethan.]]

** In Tthe legend of Oiwa", in order to remarry a richer woman, Iaman tried to poison his wife Oiwa and killed their unborn child in the process. Failing that, pushed her off a cliff. Even after her death, Oiwa came back as a ghost and haunted her husband. She gets her revenge when she tricks Iaman into decapitating his bride during the wedding ceremony, and later, [[KarmicDeath pushes him off the very same cliff he pushed off of]].

*** In "Gotta kill them all", [[spoiler: the Collector grabs Damien's arm (the one [[RuleOfSymbolism wearing a wrist watch]]) for leaving his post on borrowed time.]]

** "Gruagach": The mother [[NotNowKiddo didn't listen to her eldest daughter]] about her friend Tom, and before she knows it, [[spoiler: Amelia is abducted by the Gruagach to be its slave. And all she can do is helplessly beg for the little to return her daughter]].

** In the legend of Oiwa, in order to remarry a richer woman, Iaman tried to poison his wife Oiwa and killed their unborn child in the process. Failing that, pushed her off a cliff. Even after her death, Oiwa came back as a ghost and haunted her husband. She gets her revenge when she tricks Iaman into decapitating his bride during the wedding ceremony, and later, [[KarmicDeath pushes him off the very same cliff he pushed off of]].

* WickedStepmother: Or "stepfather" in the case of [[spoiler: "The Shapeshifting Yaksha. It doesn't get anymore wicked than devouring your stepson and plotting to eat his mother soon after.]]

* ToxicFriendInfluence: "The Noonwraith" has Sophie, who influences a reluctant Ola to break the rules, which the latter only does because she wants to look cool in front of her friend. She draws the line at smoking alongside Sophie, but it's not enough to avoid the Noonwraith [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling her out]] on her herd mentality.]]
