Fear Itself | comment |
A short-lived Anthology Series from NBC that aired in the summer of 2008, Fear Itself is similar to Masters of Horror, but with less notable directors. (Michael Eisner's son, anyone?) A few of the directors from Masters of Horror made the transition, at least, among them John Landis, Brad Anderson and Stuart Gordon.The show didn't finish airing its first season, but at least it had a cool theme song: "Lie Lie Lie" by System of a Down's Serj Tankian. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
Fear Itself / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Becca in "The Spirit Box" planned everything from the start. For added irony, she's seen dressed as an angel on Halloween. Mr. Drake is also a pedophile working at the school. The three sisters from "The Sacrifice" are a heroic variant of this. They're hospitable towards the heroes, but they're actually planning to feed them to a vampire trapped inside their walls. However, they only do this so it doesn't escape to the outside world. Just about everybody in "Community", with the exception of Phil and his wife, are brainwashed by Candace, and will resort to extreme measures to preserve the shallow beauty of the eponymous community, up to and including murdering the family and friends of anyone who tries to escape. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Fear Itself / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: We do genuinely get one in "Skin & Bones". The wendigo is dead and the wife and kids are saved. But half of our named characters are dead too. And of course the wendigo, being a spirit, is certainly not really destroyed, just gone back out into the wilderness somewhere. In "Eater", the last surviving cop, having been disarmed, wounded and cornered in a closet with no escape route, takes the decision to eat and powder herself in rat poison. Thus when the unstoppable cannibal serial killer-Voodoo sorcerer kills her shortly after by biting her throat out he is poisoned and dies. | |

Serial Killer: "Family Man", "In Sickness and In Health" and "Eater".

There's also one in "Something With Bite", although that has a decidedly happier ending. | |

Our Zombies Are Different: In "New Year's Day", the Zombie Apocalypse is started by an accident in a chemical plant, and all dead raise regardless of how they died. They also keep a lot of their previous memories. They also don't kill mindlessly, like the zombies in most Zombie Apocalypse stories. Before The Reveal, Helen doesn't kill anyone and even actively tries to rescue a girl who is being chased by zombies. | |

Karmic Death | |
Fear Itself / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Becca murdered Emily because she was jealous of her relationship with Mr. Drake. She drove out to a lake with her, poisoned her, and dumped the car with Emily still inside into a lake. When Mr. Drake is framed for the murder, Becca flees to Taiwan and brags to her unwitting accomplice, Shelby about what a victorious Karma Houdini she is. However, Emily's ghost traps Becca in a car and poisons her with the smog spreading throughout her garage. Which causes Becca to slowly suffocate to death before Emily's ghost closes in on her to watch. The serial killer in "something With Bite" committed murders in the hopes of attracting a real werewolf to bite and turn him into one and sure enough, his ploy works. Too bad one of his victims was this particular werewolf's co-worker and close friend. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
Fear Itself / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: "The Sacrifice" - They're fairly standard, only capable of being killed by fire, being stabbed in the heart, or being beheaded. Daylight either renders them dormant or actually harms them, as the vampire didn't attack during the day. One bite is also enough to convert a victim, leading to the necessity of killing them when the feeding is done. | |

Fear Itself / int_a4cd4fc6 | comment |
Cruel Twist Ending: Roughly two-thirds of their twists. One of them was so horrible, we almost considered renaming the trope "The Family Man Twist"!An explanation containing unmarked spoilersBrautigan kills Dennis' family while still in his body. When Dennis returns to his house, he kills Brautigan, and regains his own body in the process. His daughter — who had survived her wounds — is asked who killed her family, she points at her father. | |

In "Eater", the last surviving cop, having been disarmed, wounded and cornered in a closet with no escape route, takes the decision to eat and powder herself in rat poison. Thus when the unstoppable cannibal serial killer-Voodoo sorcerer kills her shortly after by biting her throat out he is poisoned and dies. | |

Offscreen Teleportation | |
Fear Itself / int_c691d3f4 | comment |
Offscreen Teleportation: The zombie roomate in "New Year's Day" is one of the biggest offenders ever seen in TV. True, he's following her, but how did he get past that closed door blocked by a piece of furniture from the inside without touching either? And that's only one of them. | |

I Just Want to Be Special | |
Fear Itself / int_cb83d23b | comment |
I Just Want to Be Special: "Something with Bite" - turns out, the gruesome murders were being done by an ordinary man who wished to attract the attention of a real werewolf to bite and turn him. The main character promptly rips him off to shreds. | |

The three sisters from "The Sacrifice" are a heroic variant of this. They're hospitable towards the heroes, but they're actually planning to feed them to a vampire trapped inside their walls. However, they only do this so it doesn't escape to the outside world. | |
