One of the weirder character parallels in TMA is the backstory is Trever Herbert and Tim Stocker -
They follow a monster into their home base for the sake for their brother. (Trever wants to stay with his brother, Tim is looking for his brother.)
When they find their brother he's still alive. (Trever and his brother plan to escape, Danny is presumably still alive before the skinning.)
Both freeze as their brother is killed. (Trever freezes under the bed, Tim freezes watching the scene.)
Both live with guilt for freezing and think they were responsible for their brothers death. (Trever confesses this in "Vampire Killer," Tim confesses this in "Sneak Preview.)
They both have a righteous sense of justice and end up killing the thing that took their brother.
When I think of TMA character parallels, Tim and Trever aren't two people who tend to come to mind, but I was watching "Vampire Killer," again last night, and thought to myself, this sounds very familiar.
