* The housing development the Freelings live in is called Cuesta Verde-- in Spanish, "The cost of green". Strange name for a place, but it fits the true nature of the place--Steven mentions on the job that they say "the grass is greener on all sides", but we later learn the area was built over a cemetery without moving the bodies, leading to horrific ghost activity. Cuesta Verde is ''green'' on all sides--but at what ''cost''?

* Given that the tree isn't actually ''in'' the house at all, its attack on Robbie could be considered a subtle hint about the property being built on a graveyard that was never really moved, and/or above a cavern where a bunch of settlers died. It's an ''old'' tree, not something that would've been planted by a landscaper; it would've been alive when the cemetery was operational, and a seedling when Kane's religious cult perished in the cavern. That tree was very much a part of the haunting, because its roots ''fed on'' the decomposition of the restless dead.
