4!!Tropes:
5* AchievementsInIgnorance: Jones is the first Librarian to figure out the house's true purpose is to provide its guests with comfort by wishing aloud for something to do while imprisoned.
6* GeniusLoci: The house is alive, always has been. And it grants wishes! Except that it's stuck in thrall to Katie. Once upon a time it was a happy house. The house always tries to warn people away.
7* AGodAmI: Katie claims to be Death itself.
8* GoodNewsBadNews: Jenkins does this. The good news is that there will be no magical cataclysm. The bad news is, they're stuck in a mysterious house that's trying to kill them.
9* IronicNurseryTune: Katie starts creepily singing "She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain" shortly after revealing herself as the real villain.
10* MundaneUtility: Jones uses the magical house to play video games and eat samosas.
11* NightmareHands: Ezekiel, perhaps the most GenreSavvy when it comes to haunted houses, finds a partly open closet and mutters repeatedly to himself, "Movie guy is wrong." as he goes to investigate the closet. He opens the door and finds it empty. But then as he turns his back, a large number of hands start reaching out of the closet for him...
12* PsychopathicWomanchild: Katie comes across this way, between her creepy nursery-rhyme singing and her forgetting whether the begging or the crying comes first.
13* ThisIsThePartWhere: As the team encounters multiple strange events the more time they spend in the house, Ezekiel frequently mentions "this is exactly the point in the movie where the guy in the audience says, "get the hell out" and laments how no one listens to "guy in the movies that wants to leave".
