Renamed some tropes.
Changed line(s) 1 (click to see context) from:
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Since Helen doesn't run screaming from Mark once she discovers the truth, maybe she has a bit of a NightmareFetishist side to her - and she and Mark are similar. She notably becomes attracted to Mark after seeing the films of his father scaring him. Or maybe her attraction to him is rooted in feeling sorry for him? As a writer herself, she might be attracted to his tragic childhood.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Not in ''Peeping Tom'', but years later Creator/AnnaMassey was cast by Creator/AlfredHitchcock in ''Film/{{Frenzy}}''. Massey's Helen survived, while in ''Frenzy'' her character is murdered by the serial killer, also in London. Michael Powell had started out working for Hitchcock in his early British films, and ''Peeping Tom'' came to be regarded as precursor to ''Film/{{Psycho}}''.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film is instantly recognisable as a 1960s piece by the fashions and vibrant color palette, which resembles many of the Op and Pop art movements of the day. The technology on the film sets is state of the art for the early 60s, as is the tape recorder that Viv has on her person - a Grundig Cub which had been released just a year before the film started production. The film's comparison between Mark's fetish and the porn in the newsagents is indicative of how the public was slowly getting more aware of porn being public - and the fact that an older 'respectable' gentleman has to secretly ask for some naughty pictures shows that the film was made before magazines like ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' and ''Penthouse'' were mainstream. Films too would become HotterAndSexier by the time the decade was over.

* UnbuiltTrope: The originator of the SlasherMovie puts the audience entirely in the ''killer'''s POV. The DeathBySex applied to his victims is justified by the circumstances - he wouldn't be able to get so close to normal everyday women. And the FinalGirl doesn't get killed like the rest because the killer is actually in love with her.
