12
13* ArcVillain: Each segment has a villain: Buck and his friend Keith (two {{Serial Killer}}s who prey on undocumented immigrants) in ''The Crossing'', [[spoiler:Min-ah (a seductive vampire]] in ''[=TaeJung=]'s Lament'', Detective Franks (a DirtyCop turned ProfessionalKiller) in ''Re-Membered'', an unnamed were-clown in ''Clowned'' and Romano, a {{Domestic Abuse}}r who will kill women for telling him not to cheat on them in ''Lover Come Back''.
14* ArchEnemy:
15** Emmett has the unnamed were-clown who gave him his monstrous curse.
16** Connie has Romeo, her abusive boyfriend who eventually murdered her.
17* ChildEater: Were-clowns have an uncontrollable urge to consume child flesh.
18* {{Clownification}}: Emmet gradually transforms into a MonsterClown after getting bitten by a demented birthday clown who reveals to be a malicious child-eating creature.
19* FacialHorror: The man in "Clowned" tries to rip the skin off his face with a razor and tear his lips off in an attempt to stop the clown transformation.
20* GenericDoomsdayVillain: No explanation is given as to where the were-clown that turned Emmett in ''Clowned'' came from; given the nature of Emmett's transformation, it might not even be sentient.
21* GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath
22* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Due to having had sex with Connie while infected by the were-clown curse, their baby is implied to be this, as we get a glimpse of big feet peeking out of the carrier.]]
23* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: "Clowned" is set around a birthday.
24* KarmicDeath: The climax of "The Crossing".
25* MonsterClown: "Clowned" follows a man's slow transformation into a were-clown and fighting the clown that infected him.
26* OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[spoiler:These are the beautiful seductress variety. And also Korean.]]
27* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: This universe has were-clowns. The curse can be transmitted through bites and it's an irreversible SlowTransformation into a MonsterClown with a craving for human flesh, particularly children.
28* OurZombiesAreDifferent: There are two varieties shown: One group are made with radioactive waste and are your standard Romero shambling variety; the other one seen is a voodoo revenge {{Yandere}} zombie.
29* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Buck and Keith hunt down and murder undocumented immigrants, and they sure aren't looking for Hans and Sven.
30* TheSociopath: Keith, a SerialKiller of undocumented immigrants. Unlike his partner in crime Buck, who at least cares for his girlfriend, Keith has no such redeeming qualities.
31* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler:Emmett uses a BANGFlagGun to trick some cops into gunning him down so he doesn't give into his kid-eating urges.]]
32* TragicMonster: As a were-clown, Emmet is still depicted sympathetically due to him resisting the urge of harming innocents and him rescuing Andy from the original MonsterClown that cursed him.
33* VillainProtagonist:
34** ''The Crossing'' has Buck, a racist SerialKiller who targets anyone he thinks is an illegal immigrant.
35** ''Re-Membered'' follows Detective Franks, a corrupt cop acting as an assassin.
