Crazy-Prepared: The protagonist suspects that he has discovered a vampire, but knows better than to rely on a wooden stake and hammer, instead bringing a pair of flamethrowers and a Crookes tube, "in case it proved intangible and opposable only by vigorously destructive ether radiations". This being a Lovecraft story, it turns out neither of these are appropriate weapons for what's actually going on.

Buried Alive: Implied to be how the lynching victim in the flashback parts became a vampire. The townsfolk interred him in the basement of his own house.
