Dark Parody: The kickoff segment was meant to exist a parody of Lassie where the canis familiaris is demonic. When it didn't work without the laugh rail, the rest of the short was played for straight-upward horror.

Light Is Non Good: The Keeper Of Man's Fears and the Creator Of His Woes is a Humanoid Abomination with a fireball for a caput.

My God, What Have I Done?:
Ralph: I did things I didn't know I was capable of doing...

Nothing Is Scarier: None of the recurring characters, or any of the supernatural horrors for that affair, are given whatsoever sort of overt explanation every bit to what they are.

Surreal Horror: And overkill on both counts!
Synchro-Vox: Washed on the eyes of the shadowy Cyclops monsters that appear throughout the film.

Unnamed Parent: None of the children's parents in the film are given names.
Unreliable Narrator: Salve for a few moments, it'southward difficult to tell how lucid (if indeed at all) the protagonist of Liquid Memories is.
