Annoying Younger Sibling: Downplayed with Todd. He keeps claiming to see ghosts which annoys Mitchell but otherwise they get along better later on. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| The Haunted Car / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Literally, Mitchell finds a card in the glove compartment that reads "I'M EVIL". The ghost is so intent on being evil that accidentally doing something good makes her vanish. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| The Haunted Car / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: This time it's no worse than usual but it follows the standard formula of not believing the kid and on top of that Dad accidentally burns their house down. | |

Chekhov's Hobby | |
| The Haunted Car / int_ac5364fe | comment |
Chekhov's Hobby: An interesting example comes with Mitchell's dad, who is a wannabe handyman, whose attempts to fix things often go wrong. Later, he accidentally sets the house on fire while Mitchell is being taken for a joy ride by the ghost car. Because he wasn't at home, he lived and Becka the ghost actually saved him. This is what causes her to vanish, as her whole mission is evil. | |
