11* BigBad: [[spoiler:Frederick Zerum]] turns out to be the real monster.
12* {{foreshadowing}}: Chester messing about with his [[spoiler:toy knife]] It’s not so retractable later on.
13* {{improv}}: a surprising amount given it’s the same actor playing multiple characters.
14* MrExposition: Professor Pickle is intended to be this, but seems more concerned about ranting about social media than actually delivering any plot useful information.
15* ShoutOut:
16** The exorcism of Chester Zerum is a shout to to the exorcism of [[spoiler:Jonah Hill]] from “Film/ThisIsTheEnd” which is itself a shout out to “Film/TheExorcist”
