* PlayAlongMeme: Many commenters on the Medicine Lake Campground infomercial jokingly act as if it's a real place they've been to and that [[spoiler: The Monster's edits to the ad]] were already part of the experience, offering their two cents on [[spoiler: the Embrace cabin]] and saying that [[spoiler: searching for Stephen Millbanks]] is one of their favorite wintertime activities.

* CompleteMonster The HiveMind of bacteria--credited only as "The Monster"--is an [[EldritchAbomination abomination]] with [[AGodAmI a god complex]] and a desire to [[TheAssimilator assimilate as many humans as possible]]. Escaping from Scott's Manor and slaughtering several scientists along the way, the Monster takes the opportunity to [[CopKiller dispose of the police department]] of Fawn Circle to leave the entire town utterly defenseless. Manifesting itself as groups of snowmen, the Monster begins brutally murdering random people, defleshing their corpses and replacing them with crude replicas under its control, eventually massacring the City Hall and mimicking a weatherman on live TV in an attempt to lure even more people to their demise.

** Unlike the Channel 83 videographer and Sid's employee, we never see Carl Denby be attacked or killed by the snow bacteria. Plenty of opportunities to tell his tale of survival, and the reasons why he never contacted authorities.

* FridgeBrilliance:
** [[spoiler:The bacteria ask Dr. Chandra, "What is God?" While we never hear Chandra's direct response, he likely could have answered that, according to Christian theology, God is an all-powerful being that created humanity in His own image. Hence the bacteria's response of AGodAmI.]]
** Meta example: Isn't the point of an AprilFoolsDay joke to present something unexpected to trick us? What could be more unexpected than a full AnalogHorror anthology, rather than the expected silly and/or funny video?
* FridgeHorror:
** [[spoiler:The "What is God?" sequence gets worse the more you think about it. If they're asking, the bacteria have heard God mentioned and probably deduced some basics from context, such as God being powerful and judging evil. So the bacteria have probably already decided WE pose no threat to them -- now they're just checking if this God of ours does.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The ending credits play over a royalty-free acoustic guitar instrumental called "Midwinter". It's absolutely gorgeous, but clearly takes more than a little inspiration from [[Music/SteveWinwood Blind]] [[Music/EricClapton Faith]]'s "Can't Find My Way Home".
