11 | * LeFilmArtistique: |
12 | ** The [[ShowWithinAShow films that Medea Yarn directs]] are straight examples. |
13 | ** This movie features very long shots with static cam, anachronic order, creepy music, seemingly unconnected scenes and other common associated tropes. |
14 | * {{Gorn}}: Quite literally. |
15 | * LipstickLesbian: Medea Yarn and her girlfriend, Hellabent. |
16 | * LooksLikeCesare: Otto, though his hairstyle is rather sleek instead of shaggy, but he has the black hair, pale-white skin, dark rings under his eyes and black clothing to pull it off. |
17 | * ManlyGay: Most of the actors starring in Medea's movie are, Fritz is the most prominent example. |
18 | * MindScrew: Very much at first, but at the end everything is explained -somehow. |
19 | * NotUsingTheZWord: Averted, Otto refers himself as a zombie. |

28 | * RummageSaleReject: Otto's outfit, he is mistaken for goth in-universe, but on the internet has been classified as either punk or emo. He is dressed with skinny jeans, combat boots, a striped gray and black sweater, a white shirt, black necktie and a black hoodie. |
29 | * VegetarianVampire: Vegan Zombie -- Otto was vegetarian before turning zombie, and now has mixed feeling about eating meat. He survives primarily by eating roadkill, but he eats the guts of a human being in one occasion. |
