 * Crowning Moment of Funny / Lightmare Fuel: Harvey
 * And then Ben builds a gazebo in under an hour. Scary because, funny because it's ridiculous.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Tate.

 * Adelaide has a large fanbase as well.
 * Fan Nickname:
 * Brohst (bro-ghost) for.
 * Frankenbaby, for the...creature in the basement from the first episode
 * Narm: All over the place, but one thing stands out. The line about Ben burying his sorrow "in some twenty one-year-old's pussy" was clearly intended to be dramatic; it is listed on the Funny subpage.
 * Narm Charm: The show seems to intentionally play up its similarities to old horror movies and indulge in some of the soap-opera-esque ridiculousness that was present in Dark Shadows (the series upon which it is presumably based).
 * Nightmare Fetishist: It appears that Hayden REALLY enjoyed.
 * Nightmare Fuel
 * Role Association: One of Tate's school shooting victims is played by Ashley Rickards, who was Evan Peters's love interest on One Tree Hill. It makes the association kind of funny.
 * So Bad It's Good: Even the shows critics admit that even when it's bad it's still immensely entertaining.
 * Squick: After explaining that her mother had always recommended it during the first trimester of pregnancy, Constance instructs Moira to feed Vivien pig organs. She later drops off . Vivien devours it raw. Even Vivien seems squicked by how readily she ate it.
 * Tear Jerker:

 * Viven comforting her distraught daughter. Also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming


 * Vivien while Violet  . And all of this happened in episode 11, the penultimate episode.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Hey, kids, let's play a game: list all the female characters with a motivation not tied to wanting a man or (more specifically) having a baby. Then list all the other female characters and have a good gawk at the comparative sizes.
 * The Untwist: The origin of the rubber suit. We're told early on that it belonged to Chad and Patrick. Then we get a whole story explaining its backstory. And it turns out that...Chad bought it. And not even in a strange way, he just went to a store.
 * The Woobie: Moira, who
 * Don't forget poor little Addie, who wanted nothing more than to be a pretty girl for Halloween,
 * Tate. Yes, he  but it clearly wasn't by choice. And one only has to look at his I love you speech to Violet in "Piggy, Piggy" or his confrontation with the   teens in "Halloween Part II" to see the extent of his suffering.
 * More like Monster Sob Story since he doesn't seem that preturbed by a lot of his more questionable actions, dead or not. He still knowingly remember.
 * To be fair, him and Violet weren't lovers at the time.
 * Also to be fair, he has a compulsive need to please the ladies of the house. Nora wanted her baby, he wanted to help her. All downhill from there.
 * It has now been revealed that
 * Nora. Yes, she starts out as a Rich Bitch who belittles her husband and only cares about her status, but  You can't help but feel a bit sorry for her.
 * Violet. Not only is she surrounded by unexplainable craziness and dangerous ghosts, but.
 * And then there's Ben
