Tropes:

- Continuity Nod: Sam's fear of clowns hasn't been mentioned in a few seasons.
- Killer Rabbit: The first possessed killer has the appearance of one.

Stan: Yeah, we know! - Mistaken for Suicidal: Stan, Phil and Rita told everyone that Chester's death was a suicide.
- Monster Clown: The old man who kills the coach is dressed as a creepy clown, which of course ties into one of Sam's deep fears.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Rita blames herself for her brother's death, since she let Stan and Phil's accusations made her doubt Chester, when she should have trusted him. She has live with that guilt. She was just afraid for her son.

- One of the Kids: Chester. He always got along with children better than adults, which unfortunately led to accusations of being a pedophile.
- One-Steve Limit: Played with. Donna's new love interest Doug shares name and profession with her ex-husband. The similarities trouble her at first.
- Riddle for the Ages: Chester being a child modestor at all. Though it's strongly implied that he wasn't.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After Chester's accidental death at the hands of the two locals who thought that his love for entertaining children was far worse than that, he comes back to settle the score, in the form of gruesomely murdering both of them, and nearly killing his sister for giving his location up to the two men in fear of him actually being a pedophile before he's finally put to rest.
- Samus Is a Girl: The person in the harlequin costume.
- Shout-Out:
- "Where's that wascally wabbit?" "What's up, doc?"
