9----
10!!This film has examples of:
11
12* BehindTheBlack: The partying girls don't notice Michael, Tom and Frank being in the same room with them until just before they scare them.
13* BigBad: [[spoiler:Ken]], the killer of the film.
14* CassandraTruth: The cast call the police twice for legitimate reasons, and are flat-out ignored by them. It's only when the male neighbor calls them that they respond (very slowly).
15* ChainsawGood: At the construction site, Tom finds and tries to rev up a chainsaw to defend himself from the killer, but he gets knocked on the ground, and has his achilles tendons cut.
16* DangerTakesABackseat: One of the girls from the beach goes to her car, and once she gets inside she's grabbed from the backseat and is impaled with a power drill.
17* DeadMansChest: [[spoiler:Beach weirdo]]'s corpse is discovered in a chest in the basement when Frank and Jackie try to move the thing.
18* ElectrifiedBathtub: Juliette is killed when an electric dildo is thrown into the bath that she is taking.
19* GiveGeeksAChance: Duncan. He is, at least for a while, the only guy that the girls allow into their party.
20* GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath: Inherited from its predecessors (also with NumberedSequels thrown in).
21* HarpoonGun: Cornered by the killer, Jackie grabs a harpoon gun from the basement wall and shoots him in the leg with it. As he falls on his knees, she and the other girls run away. Again.
22* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The killer is eventually done in with his own drill.
23* ImprovisedWeapon: The killer offs Micahel by picking up the "for sale" -sign for Jackie's house, and stabs him in the chest with it.
24* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Ken encounters an erectile dysfunction when he tries to have sex with Juliette, and they settle with cunnilingus instead.
25* NoNameGiven: The weido from the beach is only ever known as "Weirdo".
26* OnceIsNotEnough: The killer is subdued several times, but everybody just runs away from him afterwards, prolonging the hunt.
27* PoliceAreUseless: The police are alerted about the things going in the house several times but they flat-out dismiss the calls. Eventually they come only when Jackie's neighbor calls to report a disturbance, but they still take their sweet time to get there, bringing in an another example of TheCavalryArrivesLate in the trilogy.
28* RedHerring:
29** [[spoiler:The "weirdo" from the beach is built up to be the killer, as he is shown creeping around the house (and he even has his own creepy {{Leitmotif}})]].
30** [[spoiler:Jackie's neighbor is also shown to be a bit weird (but not as weird as the weirdo from the beach), but he's ultimately revealed to be nothing but a peeping tom, and his peeping eventually allows him to become aware that there's a disturbance at Jackie's home]].
31* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Ken is eventually revealed to be the killer, motivated by the suicide of his CreepyUncle Billy, who sexually abused him when he was a child]].
32* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Morgan, surprised by Jackie's scream when she finds him behind her door, answers with an equally girlish shriek.
33* ShowerScene: Jackie has a non-explict shower scene before letting in her friends in for the slumber party.
34* SuperWindowJump: Janine throws herself through a glass door to get away from the killer. She loses her consciousness from the deed and is killed afterwards.
35* ThisIsADrill: The killer shows some versatility in his murder methods, but he prefers the power drill.
36* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer for the film spoils the killer's identity.
