- After having spent the entire film very cautious of his scissors and the narrative using them for (mostly) comedic purpose, it's a mixture of this and Nightmare Fuel when Edward for the first time intentionally uses them to hurt someone by killing Jim.

- Kim gets one in the climax too:Kim: (holding one of Edward's fallen scissors to Jim's throat) Stop it, or I'll kill you myself!
- Edward, in his destructive rampage, stops by fundamentalist Esmeralda's house and trims her bushes into a grinning devil in her window after she had been accusing him of Satanic allegiance for the whole film.
