This Was His True Form | |
| Short and Shivery / int_1183175e | comment |
This Was His True Form: In "The Witch Cat", the witch returns to her true form when she dies. Her hand, which was severed when she was in the form of a cat, does not — it's still a cat's paw when it and the dead man holding it are found. In "The Loup-Garou", a werewolf reverts to its true form and runs off the instant the old man, Pierre, nicks it with his knife and draws blood from it. | |

Trail of Bread Crumbs | |
| Short and Shivery / int_11c754d8 | comment |
Trail of Bread Crumbs: In "The Robber Bridegroom", the titular character left a trail of ashes leading his intended victim to his house. As a safety precaution, she adds a trail of beans and peas along the same path, which later helps her find her way home when she escapes (the ashes had since been blown away by the wind). | |

| Short and Shivery / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the other versions of "The New Mother", such as "The Drum" from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Lucy Clifford's Anyhow Stories, the title character is implied to be malevolent but doesn't actively harm the children. In this version, she turns them into figurines and puts them in the music box to bait other children. | |

When Trees Attack: The titular character in "Crocker Waits" turns out to be a sapient yew tree, which attacks the hero as he tries to make a midnight trip to his sick mother. Luckily for the hero, the plants he receives from three old women fend it off and ultimately kill it before it can finish him off. | |

Body Horror: The titular "Witch Woman" unravels her human skin like it was thread to transform into a cat creature. She's killed when a young man she planned to devour sprinkled salt and pepper on the skin heap. When she tried to put the skin back on, the agony of being burned by the salt and pepper left her in a hideous, half-formed state until she finally ripped it off and died in the morning light. | |

Robbing the Dead | |
| Short and Shivery / int_6480c255 | comment |
Robbing the Dead: In "The Waterfall of Ghosts", the titular waterfall has a shrine with a money box where people make offerings to the ghosts that haunt the area. O-Katsu not only steals the box on a dare (though the people who dare her intend for her to take it back in the morning), she steals a number of coins from it. The ghosts don't take kindly to this and terrify her into returning what she stole, along with giving them money made by selling the hemp she received in return for her deed. | |

Stab the Scorpion: In "Narrow Escape", Tessa fears Dale means to kill her (either for scorning him or because he's the serial killer who has been stalking the area) when he chases her after she leaves the gas station. When he jumps out of his car and runs up to hers with a tire iron, she begs him not to hurt her — only for him to ignore her and go after the serial killer, who was hiding in her backseat. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Short and Shivery / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: "The Deacon's Ghost" features a demon taking over the body of a man who'd drowned and, using his body, coming after the woman the deacon had been engaged to. The demon is eventually exorcised, allowing the deacon to rest in peace. "The Adventure of the German Student" has a young man fall for a woman who turns out to be a corpse, having been guillotined the day before. On seeing this, the student believes she was brought back by a demon that tricked him into pledging his soul to it, allowing it to possess him in the girl's place. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point | |
| Short and Shivery / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: In the third nightmare in "The Deadly Violin", the ghost of the dead man that Nahum built the coffin for (he was making a violin with the leftover wood) says to him "Cast the wood in the fire. Do not use it for any other purpose. This is the last time I will warn you." When Nahum wakes up the next morning, however, he just smiles and shrugs and says to himself "That was a good dream, since the ghost promised not to bother me anymore." | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Short and Shivery / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: The vampire in "The Soldier and the Vampire" is an evil wizard who rose from the dead thanks to his magic, and the only way to permanently kill him is to ensure that every bit of his soul (represented by the mass of lizards, snakes, toads, worms and beetles that his body turns into when burned) is destroyed. In terms of drinking blood, he does not drink it directly from the body but takes it into a vial, and drinks that right before returning to his grave at sunrise. The following sunset, the victim's life-force becomes his, and they die. His only standard weakness is sunlight, which renders him dormant. | |

Instead the trickster Jack Frost takes pity on her and gives her furs and jewels. The stepmother sends her daughter to get similar gifts from Jack Frost, but her horrible attitude leads to both their deaths (the stepsister freezes to death, the stepmother dies of shock on seeing her daughter's frozen corpse). | |

The Bluebeard: The titular character of "The Robber Bridegroom" is a variant — he woos a woman, convinces her family to let him marry her, and then, once she's been brought to his home, he blinds her and forces her to be his housekeeper, never marrying her at all. Elsa is spared this fate when she arrives early, while her groom is away, and is told the truth by his last "bride". Together, they escape and expose the robber and his men for what they really are, and the robbers are put to death for their crimes. The demonic antagonist of "Brother and Sister", a were-hyena, marries a woman with the intention of murdering her and, with his hyena kin, devouring her. | |
