Trivia

• The name of the "friend" Ryan claims to be looking for is Jon Andersen, the show's supervising director.

Allusions and References

• The film Darius obsessively watches and from which clips are played throughout the episode is the 1941 Universal horror film The Wolf Man.

• One of the posters that can be seen in Darius's room is for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, which was the most recent entry released at the time of this episode's airing. Likely to not draw too much attention to it, part of the poster isn't secured, covering the part with Jason's hockey mask.
