Line 16:
* [[Alien Invasion]]
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - {{spoiler|Beaver and Pete both die in the first half of the story. By the end of the book, Jonesy and Henry are the only surviving characters.}}
* [[Battle in Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]] - Between Mr. Gray and Jonesy.
* [[Body Horror]] - The aliens are referred to as "shit-weasels". Guess where they come out of infected people.
* [[Canon Welding]] - Takes place in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, the site of previous King novels ''[[IT]]'' and ''[[Insomnia (Literaturenovel)|Insomnia]]''. At one point a character comes across a memorial written by the Loser's Club from ''IT''. Scrawled on in graffiti is "PENNYWISE LIVES''.
* [[Evil Brit]] - Mr. Gray speaks with a British accent in the film.
* [[Evil-Detecting Dog]] - The animals are seen fleeing in mass migration.
Line 31:
* [[Race Lift]] - Kurtz is played by [[Morgan Freeman]] in the film.
* [[The Rainman]] - Duddits.
* [[Shout -Out]] - Kurtz is named after the character ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' and ''[[Heart of Darkness]]''. [[Lampshaded]] with a comment that it's probably not his real name and probably something that he decided to call himself.
{{quote| Perlmutter had read ''Heart of Darkness'', had seen ''Apocalypse Now'', and had on many occasions thought that the name Kurtz was simply a little too convenient. He would have bet a hundred dollars (a great sum for a non-wagering artistic fellow such as himself) that it wasn’t the boss’s real name-that the boss’s real name was Arthur Holsapple or Dagwood Elgart, maybe even Paddy Maloney. Kurtz? Unlikely. It was almost surely an affectation, as much a prop as George Patton’s pearl-handled .45.}}
** The government nickname for the alien fungus is "The Ripley" after [[Sigourney Weaver]]'s character from the ''[[Alien (Filmfranchise)|Alien]]'' movies.
*** Jonesy is also the name of Ripley's cat from ''Alien''.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Mr. Gray loves BACON.
