• Jerkass:
  • Fine art, when he's not actually killing anyone, manages to be both this and Faux Affably Evil at the same time. When Casey starting time sees him, he annoys her past honking his horn while she's trying to read. Furthermore, he points and mimes laughing at his victims whenever he harms or scares them.

• Slasher Grinning: Fine art has ane ◊. And then exercise some of the demons in The ninth Circle.
• Tom the Nighttime Lord: Keep, judge.
• Troll: A rather sinister example. In his Establishing Character Moment, Art annoys Casey past honking his horn while she's trying to read. When she asks him to terminate, he hands a blossom to her, and she — much to the malevolent clown's amusement — is horrified when a cockroach crawls out of it.
  • In 1 of his rare funny moments, he's after shown beingness kicked out of a gas station by its bellboy. The reason why? He left a huge mess in the bathroom for no other reason than to fuck with him.
• Wham Line: This bit of dialogue towards the cease, just before Sarah watches the third and final segment of the tape.

  Sarah: Timmy, knock information technology off. Tia, listen to me. There'south nothing in your cupboard, not a clown, not anyone. I want the both of yous to go to bed.
