Urban Legends: A local one about a man who chopped up his ex and her lover with an axe in the lover's car. There's even an old, abandoned car in an overgrown area that lends the story an odd credibility.

Ghost Town: Well, not the whole town, but upon looking in on the neighbours' house after receiving multiple meals from people who never introduced themselves, Lisa realises that the whole street they live on is empty apart from the house directly across from them.

Accidental Pervert: Toby accidentally catches a glimpse of Addie getting undressed. Having said that, him continuing to watch is entirely his decision. To his credit, he at least feels guilty afterwards. It should be noted that she was semi-implied to want him to see. When he initially tells her he's going to have a room other than the one directly facing hers, she is actively disappointed. He then changed his mind and took the room directly opposite hers basically on a whim. She later confirms this just before asking him to have sex with her.

Properly Paranoid: Lisa distrusts the food the family is being left by strangers they never see and suspicious of how empty the street feels. That's because only their house and the house directly across from them is inhabited.

Bittersweet Ending: Toby, Paisley, and Eli succeed in stopping the sacrifices by releasing the thing in the basement, it kills all of the ringleaders of the operation, the town is heavily implied to be totally destroyed, and the Prescott family escapes the town. Unfortunately, Robbie is also killed by the thing, too weak from the sickness to so much as make it to the stairs, and all of the townspeople, most of whom were kept in line through fear of the cult, are implied to have been killed.

Mystical Plague: Downplayed. Being in the house makes Trevor sick (as well as the rest of the family after a couple of days) with pain, exhaustion, and dizziness, but it never spreads outside the house and outright leaves whenever they go outside.

The Alcoholic: Zig-zagged with Robbie. He doesn't think of himself as an alcoholic and shows no withdrawal or relapse symptoms despite having not drank in a number of months, but by his own admission, he usually drinks a lot and his brother Richard clearly thinks he's an alcoholic. Robbie feels the need to hide his drinking from Richard because of this.

Eldritch Location: The house. In reality, the entire town of Dark Falls. When the land was first settled, nothing grew there and all of the settlers died. But with each death, the area grew more alive and liveable. The locals have their own little paradise as long as they send new people into the house when the land around it starts dying again.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain
 A Place So Wicked / int_acf33d00
comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Had Robert not let his jealousy over Addie sleeping with Toby get the better of him, Toby and his family likely would have died and the town would have gone on thriving. A centuries-long conspiracy was brought to an end by a teenage boy who couldn't resist rubbing his crush's fetish for the soon-to-be-dead in her lover's face.

Town with a Dark Secret
 A Place So Wicked / int_b02f996a
comment
Town with a Dark Secret: Dark Falls. The town's original name was Dead Falls, on account of the fact that all of the land it was built upon was dead and uninhabitable. The more people died there, the more prosperous the area became. So the locals set up a practice of luring people in to live in a house beneath which the creature responsible for this is sealed, sacrificing innocent people in order to maintain their little paradise. Many of the locals are kept in line through fear as the cult in charge of the sacrifices has made many people "disappear" in the past for digging too deep or trying to help the sacrifices.

Nothing Is Scarier
 A Place So Wicked / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: We never actually find out what the creature sealed beneath the house is. It's referred to as a demon a couple of times, but that's merely speculation and because they have nothing better to call it. Toby gets a little insight when he opens the door and releases it, but all he really finds out is that it's old and had at least been there since before the Native Americans inhabited those lands.
