!! The series in general
* ActorInspiredElement: Caleb's habit of singing show tunes and the idea of his [[Creator/ClintEastwood Eastwood]]-like voice came from the input of Caleb's voice actor, Stephan Weyte.
* DescendedCreator: The Voice (multiplayer announcer) and Tchernobog were voiced by Jason Hall, who was the CEO of Monolith at the time.
* ReferencedBy:
** "The Deathslinger" Caleb Quinn from ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight'' is an obvious {{Expy}} of Caleb from ''Blood''. They share the first name, long hair, gunslinger attire, Wild West upbringing and a backstory of vengeance against their superiors.
** Min-Woo Hyung [[https://blood-wiki.org/index.php?title=Priest admitted in an interview]] (published in Vol. 3 of the Tokyopop release) that ''Blood'' had a significant influence on ''Manhwa/{{Priest|1998}}'''s characters and premise.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Atari's legal grip on the series[[note]] well, technically only the games themselves, as Monolith retained the IP and trademarks which are now owned by parent Warner Bros.[[/note]] means any official source ports or remakes are unlikely. Former Monolith CEO Jason Hall attempted to negotiate with Atari for an UpdatedRerelease of the original game around 2012, but was flatly refused. Devolver Digital and Night Dive Studios expressed interest in picking up the rights, but Devolver claimed that Atari demanded an [[https://twitter.com/devolverdigital/status/410867780443836416 unreasonable cost for the license]]. Atari only finally agreed to let Nightdive remaster the game in [[https://gematsu.com/2018/12/horror-first-person-shooter-blood-remaster-announced-for-pc late 2018]], and even then they were forced to rebuild the game from the ground up on their in-house Kex engine because Atari actively refused to let them use the source code, and then tore the rights away before it even finished fixing all of the issues brought about because of that.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The initial "Horror 3D" concept of the game was intended to be a darker and more serious game with more overt Lovecraft influences and less BlackComedy elements.
** Caleb was originally named Michael and looked like a regular fanatic enemy. This design was dumped and reworked into Caleb's current form after the developers claimed it was "boring and tired".
