12!!Tropes that are present in ghosttundra's works:
13* AuthorAppeal: ghosttundra has a fascination with Y2K fashions, as shown on their character's clothing styles.
14* CreatorProvincialism: ''Imigrantes Road'' and ''Bug Murders'' take place in Brazil, which is also ghosttundra's home country. ''Lacey Games'' is unclear on where its setting is, though the Facebook screenshots from the MoralGuardians on the third episode seem to imply that it takes place in an English-speaking country. ''~Boo! The Ghosts Away~'' being a prime exception since it takes place on Japan and the protagonist is a transfer student from USA.
15* CreatorThumbprint: Their webseries always have SurrealHorror imagery, low-quality real-life backgrounds, {{Retraux}} graphics (often mimicking 2000s internet interface), horror derived from real life events, and characters with Y2K fashions.
16* FreezeFrameBonus: Mostly used as {{Foreshadowing}} and serve as additional hints and clues about their works.
17* MediumBlending: Expect low-quality photos and recordings used as background of their webseries. Live action footages show up occasionally.
18* PsychologicalHorror
19* RealismInducedHorror: {{Invoked}}. [[https://twitter.com/ghosttundra/status/1720394143283769344 In this tweet]], ghosttundra talked about the reason why they deliberately use horror tropes derived from real life traumatic events is because their experiences living with a spiritist family and being used to apparitions leading them to find horror media centered around ghosts and paranormal events as not frightening to them in the slightest.
20-->'''ghosttundra: '''[[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Living person are scarier fr.]]
21* TurnOfTheMillennium: The time period which their works (except ''~Boo! The Ghosts Away~'', which takes place at the time it was published) are set in.
22* WordSaladHorror: Appears as a bunch of text scattered on screen, used to highlight the (often quite lacking) mental state of the characters.
