Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Complete Monster: Seemingly mild-mannered John Christie is in truth a depraved Serial Killer. Based upon the crimes of his real-life counterpart, Christie opens the film drugging, sexually assaulting and strangling a woman to death. When the Evans family moves in and Beryl wants help with an abortion, Christie pretends to assist her, only to assault and murder her, before manipulating her hapless husband Tim into taking blame while also murdering Tim's baby daughter Geraldine. Framing Tim, Christie acts as a witness against him at trial to ensure Tim hangs for the crime. Christie later murders his own wife when she suspects him and then another woman before finally being arrested with a body count that numbers at least eight women before the Evans family.
  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • Christie definitely crosses the line at the start of the film by drugging, raping and murdering a woman, only topped when he murders Geraldine.
    • Beryl crosses the line when she decides to abort her baby.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Christie going upstairs with a rope to strangle Geraldine.
