* ItWasHisSled: Even during the film's original release, few people went into the theater without already knowing that Laura wasn't really dead.

* PlayingAgainstType: Shelby Carpenter might be on the list of possible suspects, but the character is still a far cry from the types of roles Vincent Price is best known for, particularly his Kentucky drawl.

* HilariousInHindsight: Mark has a small handheld rectangular baseball game he plays from time to time. The way he holds it in some shots makes it look like he's playing a game on a smartphone, in 1944!
