* CanonWelding: A number of shorts seem to be set in a SharedUniverse (confirmed by WordOfGod) and the connections come in the form of various Easter eggs. So far, ''The Look See'', ''The Birch'', ''Mordeo'', ''The Sunny Family Cult'', and ''Stoneheart'' are implied to be connected.
** Confirmed in ''Sunny Family Cult'' [=S3E02=], where a flashback shows [[spoiler: a young Roger studying a creepy-looking book with images of the Look See, the Birch, the Mordeo, and Aponi (''Stoneheart''). More specifically, there's a ritual that he's interested in, which seemingly involves summoning the Look See, the Mordeo, and Aponi. Officially confirmed in [=S3E03=], in which Roger explains to Taylor that monsters in the book are "divine creatures of darkness."]]
* CassandraTruth: In season 1 of ''Shelley'', [[spoiler:Lauren, Nikki, and Heidi weren’t the only ones who knew the truth behind Shelley’s “suicide”; in episode 3, it’s revealed that a classmate of theirs named Celine saw them hang up Shelley’s body to make it look like she had hung herself, and cover up what they had done. Celine even told the teachers what she saw, but [[AdultsAreUseless no one believed her]]]].
** This is {{subverted|Trope}} in Season 2, as it’s revealed that [[spoiler:not only did the staff know the truth, but they ''orchestrated Shelley’s murder'' due to her being too nosy about the death of her boyfriend Oliver.]]

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Miss Annity, from the "Miss Annity" series, chooses her victims for not living up to her old fashioned views. Of the victims:
** The first is a ballerina who doesn't have a perfect hourglass figure.
** The second is a work from home dad who wants to spend more time with his infant daughter instead of letting his wife do everything.
** The third and last victim is a young gay man who doesn't fight back when beaten up. [[spoiler: He's the only one to survive because he ''doesn't'' fight back and forgives his attacker. So Miss Annity takes his father instead.]]
* DoubleEntendre: "Let's flip him over and eat his ass."
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted, in (of all places) "Demon Clown." [[spoiler: The reason [[NonIronicClown Norton]] [[MonsterClown was running after those kids at night]]? He went to meet a client who had a clown fetish, and she threatened him with a knife before sexually assaulting him. He wasn't running after those kids because he was trying to kill them, he was running after them ''because he'd just been sexually assaulted and was crying for help.'']] It's played seriously as it should be.
* DownerEnding: It usually won't go well for the protagonist.
* EvilVersusEvil: There are quite a few videos detailing the monsters of the Crypt Tv universe fighting each other, usually over who gets to kill their latest victim(s). The Look-See is by far the most common monster to do so.
* EyelessFace: Several of the monsters, including the Birch, the Look-See, and the Brute, among others.
* FanDisservice: The Birch has visible feminine breasts with exposed nipples, but considering she's a skeleton-faced [[BotanicalAbomination tree demon]] who violently kills people, the potential sexiness factor is ''severely'' diminished.
* FemmeFatale: Usually the antagonist in some of the shorts.
* GainaxEnding: Most of the videos fall under this leaving the audience scratching their head and wondering what just happened, especially in shorts like ''Over There''.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Sometimes done, but just as often [[{{Gorn}} the opposite]] happens.
