  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: "TKNOGD" features a VR hreadset called the EyePhone. Tired iPhony joke? Nope, real product released in 1989.
  • Complete Monster: Dreamkill: Bobby is a former cop who was forced to turn in his badge after getting caught stalking and raping two women at a red light. When he heard that the women planned to sue him, he took to brutally murdering them and their attorney in retaliation by horrifically torturing them to death. When his best friend Det. Wayne discovers the truth, Bobby kills him with no hesitation, attempts to kill his son Gunther out of sheer hatred for how he tried to reveal his crimes to the police, and instigates a mass shootout at the police station that leaves many cops dead.
  • Narm: Parts of Ada's performance during "TKNOGD" can come off as a little silly. Cody and Sergio of The Horror Bandwagon compared it to "Over The Moon" from RENT.
    Sergio: It's giving me Maureen from RENT.
    Cody: (laughing) I was gonna say the same thing!
    Sergio: I feel like she's about to, like-
    (Cut to snippet of Over The Moon, where Maureen starts mooing.)
    Cody: "Moo with me!"
  • Nightmare Fuel: The ending of “Total Copy”. In the footage that the documentary is not allowed to reveal, we see what happened to the rest of the research crew. Rory quickly attacks and murders Gary with it’s feeler and revealing it’s true self, a multi-headed alien closely resembling a xenomorph. After killing booth Gary and Porter, Spratling and his director try to flee but the blood on his hand completely breaks the door scanner (which he tries scraping off but it can be implied Rory changed the system) and Rory then tracks down and kills em both.
  • Realism-Induced Horror: In "No Wake", the biggest danger to the protagonists is not a sea monster but a psychopath with a rifle.
    • Contrary to what the opening of the short implies, the villain of "Dreamkill" has no supernatural abilities: he's just a mundane rapist who circled back to torture and kill his victims rather than face consequences.
    • Most of "God of Death" consists of a cameraman and a rescue team trying to escape a collapsing building, and the deaths of Lucia and Javier are caused by ordinary falling debris.
