Wardens Are Evil: Mrs Ford, the warden of the detention home, is one of the group of unethical doctors who learned a hundred years ago to extend their lives by draining the vitality of others. Without such transfusions, they begin to slowly petrify. She has been using the detention home to ensure a steady supply of vital young bodies for them to feed upon.

Immune to Bullets: When the immortality treatment wears off, the users begin to petrify. There is a period before they totally petrify when they are still mobile but their skin is as hard as stone, making them Nigh-Invulnerable. While Eric is in this state, Dr. Freneau shoots him several times to no effect.
