| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-LGGU0jC1I After Midnight]]" especially. |
| 2 | * CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Sammi Curr]] is a [[AxCrazy cruel and deranged]] devil-worshipping rock star, who was killed in what is implied to be a ritual suicide. When his spirit makes contact with his biggest fan, a bullied student named Eddie, Sammi encourages Eddie to take part in revenge pranks against his bullies, quickly showing his darker colors when he tries to get the main bully Tim's head crushed in one of these pranks, and murders a preacher and the head of the PTA out of annoyance. This comes to a head when Sammi molests and hospitalizes Tim's girlfriend Gennie for cheap thrills. When Eddie tries to break off contact with Sammi, he threatens to go after Eddie's friend and crush Leslie, and humors the idea of killing Eddie's mother in an attempt to force Eddie to play his cursed record and tape at the Halloween dance. Later, Sammi forces Eddie's friend Roger to play his music by threatening his life. At the dance, when the music summons Sammi, he kicks things off by killing several students in the crowd. Sammi continues his rampage with the plan on having his music play on air to spread his influence, and kills a cop and his old friend Nuke as he chases down and tries to kill Eddie and Leslie. |
| 3 | * MoralEventHorizon: Tim and his buddies, earlier in the movie, put a barbell in Eddie's backpack and push him into a pool. This is on top of extreme abuse. He only gets worse as he still threatens Eddie ''after'' he saves his unworthy ass and attempts to ''rape'' Leslie. Really people should cheer Sammi for incinerating him. |
| 4 | ** Sammi is obviously beyond it, being a fan of school shooting actions. |
| 5 | * NightmareRetardant: At one point, Sammi's advance on Eddie and Leslie is stopped by him getting his foot stuck on a toilet. |
| 6 | * OneSceneWonder: Gene Simmons plays a radio host at the very beginning of the movie, and Ozzy Osbourne shows up for a few seconds as a televangelist. |
| 7 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Glen Morgan, best known for being a writer for ''Series/TheXFiles'' and co-creator of ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'', stars as Eddie's best friend Roger in his only acting role. |
| 8 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Provided by Kevin Yagher, who would go on to provide the effects for such horror icons as Freddy Krueger and the Crypt Keeper. |
