American Gothic Couple: Befitting the film's title, its poster parodies the Grant Wood painting, with Ma and Pa instead of the father and daughter. | |

Death by Irony: After spending the entire film railing against "sinners", Pa angrily renounces God after coming home to find his family dead, seconds before Cynthia kills him with his own shotgun. | |

Final Girl | |
| American Gothic (1988) / int_ad4c74ed | comment |
Final Girl: Deconstructed and reconstructed. The meek and emotionally fragile Cynthia does indeed become the last girl left standing, but in her survival she ends up losing her sanity and does a Face–Heel Turn when she joins the murderous family as a full-fledged member. This doesn't stop her from going batshit crazy on the family and becoming a killer herself, reconstructing the trope as she in her madness takes out the family of killers one by one. | |
