* [[Break the Cutie]]: "Witchcraft" is about a man coming home to find his girlfriend brutally maimed.
* [[Cult]]: The subject of Propane Nightmares. The cult in the music video is based on [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_:Heavenchr(religious_group27)s Gate (religious group)|Heaven's Gate]]
