  • Alternate Character Interpretation:
    • The pilot film has a scene where Jonathan asks Benny how he became an Occult Detective. Benny proceeds to tell Jonathan the tragic tale of how the love of his life died in an airplane crash that he had a premonition of, which caused him to start researching precognition, and then psychic powers in general, and then the paranormal as a whole; it is unclear if Benny was telling the truth, or if he was just screwing with Jonathan.
    • Invoked with Miles from "Blood and Magnolias." Was he a vampire, or just a delusional Vampire Vannabe?
  • Complete Monster: "Parts Unknown": Doctor Randall is the head of an organ trafficking ring that is operating out of Long Island. Using a health club called the Fitness Factory as a front, Randall fakes the deaths of the club's healthiest patrons by exposing them to a paralytic neurotoxin so that he can later dig up their graves and kill for them real by harvesting their organs for sale on the Black Market. When a pair of teenagers stumble onto the latest grave exhumation, it forces Randall's henchmen to quickly rebury the victim, who suffocates while trying to claw his way out of his coffin; the incident attracts the attention of Jonathan MacKensie and Edgar "Benny" Benedek of the Paranormal Research Unit. Randall is shown personally cutting the organs out of one of his abductees before having her disposed of, and he later tries to gun down both Jonathan and Benny to prevent his criminal enterprise from being exposed by PRU.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: "I just heard Eddie was buried alive. I was wondering... is there going to be another funeral?" from "Parts Unknown."
  • Squick:
    • The surgery scene in "Parts Unknown."
    • "Cora's Stranger" is about a 75-year old woman who has been pregnant with an alien baby since 1939. That said, the actual birthing scene is a pretty clear cut case of Clean, Pretty Childbirth.
