** When Chalice dies and appears in front of the Devil, she says she's become "a g-g-g-ghost", and the Devil repeats it back. WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost usually had bystanders screaming "A g-g-ghost!" when they realized what Casper actually was.
** The caretakers at the orphanage being penguins may be a reference to ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''' scary nun "The Penguin" who ruled over the orphanage the Brothers were trying to save. They even are armed with wooden rulers just like her!
