Jacob McAuliffe Trademarks

Jacob McAuliffe Trademarks (also known as the "Standard Jake McAuliffe Movie Guidelines") are basically glaring similarities that appear in multiple Jacob McAuliffe films. Jake thinks that these give the movie character, and reward long-time fans by allowing them to point them out. In reality, everyone is tired of his consistancy. In REAL reality, Jake doesn't care, puts them in, and ends up more successful and liked then the people who complain about the trademarks.. Almost all of these trademarks are lampooned in the We Hate Jacob McAuliffe Movie.

1. Woods: Multiple Jacob McAuliffe films take place inside the woods, including Woods Hollow (original and remake) and The Arab Witch Project.

2. Unseen Monster: Several Jacob McAuliffe films contain an unseen monster that terrorizes the main character(s). Seen in both Woods Hollow films and The New Kid.

3. Sean Maruscak Getting Killed/Seriously Injured: In every appearance actor Sean Maruscak has made in a Chaos Productions film, he has been either killed or seriously injured. In both Woods Hollow films, he was killed (the first by a demonic kid stabbing him, and the second by committing suicide (yeah, spoilers I guess)). In The New Kid, he was eaten alive by an Unseen Monster (see above). In The Dimming, he was knocked down a staircase and killed. Frequently, he is also seen falling down a staircase, as in The New Kid and The Dimming. He is to appear in AP3, but it is unclear what his role is. In the trailer though, he is seen being punched into a locker and falling down a staircase, showing this trademark in full affect.

4. Eric Newton as the idiot: Actor Eric Newton frequently appears in Jacob McAuliffe films as "the idiot" character, as seen in Detention and his role as Eric/Creepy Guy in the AP films. His character in the Jake and Eric series has proved to be slightly smarter, which was a welcome change. Interestingly, his first appearance in The Dimming had him playing one of the most intelligent characters in the film. Eric is often written homosexual roles for the films. It is unknown if this is some sort of perverse fantasy of Jake and Eric's or he just cannot create original characters.
