Knock Knock? Trigger Treat!
- Accidental Murder: In death 23, Fred attempts to remove the mask of someone dressing as a Creeper, ripping off the person's head in the process due to the mask being glued on.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: A rare time when this actually helped someone. In Death 64, Stu is being chased down by a Xenomorph when a Facehugger comes at from the other direction. It looks like Stu is done for, but he spots a coin on the floor and leans over to pick it up, causing the Facehugger to miss him and latch onto the Xenomorph, causing a human baby to pop out of their bodies... somehow.
- Bait-and-Switch: Death 13 sets itself up like the Resurrected Warlock is going to kill a young trick-or-treater, but the Warlock just tiredly walks away, muttering to himself that he needs some coffee. The kid then eats a Tide Pod "like it's 2018" and dies.
- Death 35 shows a vampire about to climb in someone's open window by walking up the wall, only to break through the thin covering of the window underneath the open one and fall through the building to his death. Death 42 is similar, with a vampire attempting to fly into someone's balcony door by turning into a bat, only to get immediately snatched up and killed by a passing owl.

- Obligatory Joke: Death 12, "Something Something Pumpkin Spice Latte, Amyrite?" Norman298 walks into Suncents Coffee and looks at the menu, then promptly drops dead for no adequately defined reason.Strong Bad: ...He died, somehow.
- Off with His Head!: Death 23, when Fred accidentally decapitates a person dressed as a creeper because they super-glued their mask on.Fred: Once I remove his mask, you'll see it was none other than... [...] ...King Louie the Sixteenth. *
- Our Vampires Are Different: Deaths 16 through 19 show a player contracted with Vampirism being killed by various Vampire weaknesses, such as walking into a house without being invited, crossing running water, passing by a church, and touching a silver goblet.
