** The film also features a recurring scene of Owen sitting next to a campfire in the woods, which is staged remarkably similar to the campfire scenes in ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' (that ''[[DuelingShows other]]'' cheesy horror show that ran on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in the '90s). The movie's official tagline is even ''"Are you afraid of the glow?"''

* SummerCampy: Isabel and Tara meet each other and gain their "Pink Opaque" powers at a summer "sleepaway" camp by a lake. This is the only time in the show where they meet in-person, though when they communicate with each other psychically it seems to take the appearance of them meeting in camp. The Season 5 finale has them attempt to meet up back at the camp, but they are both captured there by Mr. Melancholy before they can do so.
