Chekhov's Gun: The machinegun that Greg and Josh find in a coffin in the mortuary warehouse becomes significant later on when Greg grabs it and trains it on Paul. Defied. The gun didn't have bullets in it.

comment
Ax-Crazy: Paul, once he's revealed as the killer, starts acting much more erratic and murder-happy. While the weapon in question when Paul murders Mrs. Parsons with a mortician's trocar, with which he stabs the unfortunate woman repeatedly in her chest and abdomen isn't an axe, Paul certainly uses the thing with ample vicious insanity.
