1!! The 2010 Film:
2* DVDCommentary: There’s a higly entertaining one with director M.J. Bassett and lead actor Creator/JamesPurefoy, where they discuss things like the low-budget, [[Main/SerendipityWritesThePlot how they storyboarded and were prepped for a rowing scene but the lake froze so they used it for an establishing shot]], the directors love of the plague doctor masks and how they deliberately didn’t want Solomon and Meredith to be love interests hence the casting of Rachel Hurd Wood.

7!!The Literature:
8* AnachronismStew: The stories are set during the late 16th century, but most visual depictions of Kane show him in mid 17th century clothing (with varying levels of accuracy; real Puritans did not wear buckles on their hats). Likely an example of RuleOfCool, since Elizabethan-era clothing often looks rather silly to modern viewers and isn't what comes to mind when imagining a stereotypical fanatical Puritan.
9* FountainOfExpies: Inspired the trend of hat and longcoat-wearing [[TheWitchHunter Witch Hunters]].
