| 1 | * The subway sequence echoes an early scene in the film ''Film/JacobsLadder'', right down to the name of the street that Jacob is trying to reach. |
| 2 | ** The subway ghost who pushes Heather onto the tracks brings to mind the ghost haunting the subway in ''Film/Ghost1990'' who uses also uses telekinesis against the ghostly protagonist. Said ghost also died from being hit by a train. |
| 3 | * When you first find the shotgun in the subway train, [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay it's wrapped in a neat gift box]]. |
| 4 | * The unlockable Beam Saber weapon is based on the Laser Blades used by the heroes of the Japanese ''Space Sheriff'' superhero shows, ''[[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan Gavan]]'', ''[[Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan Sharivan]]'', and ''[[Series/SpaceSheriffShaider Shaider]]''. In particular, the way Heather activates the Beam Saber by drawing her hand along the blade mimics the way the sheriffs would charge their weapons up for their {{Finishing Move}}s. |
| 5 | * There's a scene in the [[DarkWorld Dark Office Building]] where a lone wheelchair is visible from a great distance, illuminated by a single light. WordOfGod has confirmed this is a shout out to the memorably creepy "Hello...Gordon" scene from ''Film/Session9''. |
| 6 | * [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] appears as the corpse in the wall of the construction site where you get the silencer. This isn't clear in-game (all you see is a pair of legs and feet clad in yellow pants, which Snake never wears in any of his in-game appearances) but was confirmed by Creator/{{Konami}}. |
| 7 | * When Heather finds Douglas injured, she asks him if he thinks he’s “[[Franchise/{{Superman}} superman]] [sic] or something.” |
| 8 | * The Borley Haunted Mansion at the amusement park is almost certainly named after, well, the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Borley haunted mansion]], better known as the Borley Rectory, reputedly the most haunted house in England. The announcer (in the original release) can also sound similar to the announcer at Disneyland's (Anaheim) ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' and has a similar sense of BlackHumor. The character Danny is also from New Orleans to further solidify the similarities to the Disneyland ride. |
| 9 | * Heather's Princess Heart outfit is a pastiche of {{Magical Girl}}s in general, and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' specifically. That's one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOxbkuD-JZI Sexy Beam]]! |
| 10 | * When Heather climbs the ladder to the Otherworld hospital, the words "IT'S A WONDERFULL [sic] LIFE" can be seen painted in blood. This is a direct reference to ''Film/TheExorcistIII''. |
