** The episode could also have a couple of references to the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} franchise. The BigThinShortTrio of ghosts tormenting Cuphead and Mugman remind of the ghost family (short father, lanky tall mother and huge dopey son) from the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', and among the ghosts chasing them there's a convict still strapped to the electric chair that is reminiscent of the Scoleri Brothers from ''Film/GhostbustersII''.

** The cups' scam business of faking a ghost removal service in the first half of the episode is reminiscent of ''Film/GhostBusters''. The episode's second half, meanwhile, draws more from the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' series, with the heroes having to avoid being eternally trapped in paintings by malevolent ghosts in a spooky manor.
