Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Mitch at first seems to be willing to help the heroes and is just as shocked as they are when they realize it's not all just for show. Then he nails a board to the vent shaft, preventing Nate from getting out, and rips off Evan's face with a claw hammer.

Wham Line

comment
Wham Line: After Harper sees a man in the Devil costume stalking her at the party, she sees several clues that it's her abusive ex, Sam. When she calls him out on it in the Haunt, he removes his mask. "Who's Sam?" is his reply. Doubles as The Reveal of the villains.

Domestic Abuse
 Haunt / int_590eb583
comment
Domestic Abuse: Harper has it rough, she is first introduced to applying makeup to cover her black eye. Her boyfriend apparently did this. If that wasn't enough, her father frequently abused her mother, though he never seemed to lay a hand on Harper herself.

Asshole Victim: Sam gets what might be the most brutal death in the movie. Quite deserved for an abusive boyfriend. Then, of course, there's the bad guys themselves.

For the Evulz
 Haunt / int_adfd3165
comment
For the Evulz: The villains are given no motivation for killing people. During The Last Drive In showing of the movie (On Shudder), it's revealed they do have a motivation because in an interview Eli Roth said he asked what the backstory is. When both writers/directors explained it was scarier that there wasn't one, Roth told them to write one anyways but don't put it in. Host Joe Bob Briggs himself surmises that the killers are part of a mutilation cult.
