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. |
