Gone Horribly Right: Our heroes cast an Animate Dead spell on some corpse they dug up for funsies. Unfortunately, it resurrects every corpse on the island. |

Collective Death Glare: Played for Laughs. Near the end, as the zombies are closing on Alan and Anya, Alan throws Anya to the zombies to save himself. Everyone - zombies included - shoot Alan a look of disgust. |

comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: After the resurrection spell goes off, the corpse the group nicknames "Orville" is left to sit in a corner while they deal with the newly-animated dead. Alan retreats into that room when he's the last one left. Turns out the spell did work on Orville after all, it just took a while to kick in. |
