Trivia & References
"The Thing" is a reference to the 1982 John Carpenter film of the same name, about a shapeshifting tentacled alien intent on taking over the planet.
The Rhode Island setting and robed occultist, along with the The tentacled gods are a reference to the Great Old Ones of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. In 6.21 Let It Bleed it was revealed that in 1937, Lovecraft and his friends opened a portal to pen a door to an alternate dimension - Purgatory. A monster came through and possessed a woman, Eleanor Visyak. She spent her life ensuring the portal wouldn't be opened again.
Dean: Hit me!
- "Hit me!" along with how Dean said it are a reference to singer James Brown, who would often use the phrase in his songs.
Dean: Okay. So we got the blood of a holy man. We've got fruit from the Tree of Life. But this piece of kryptonite -- we've been through every book in this place and we got squat.
- Kryptonite is a radioactive substance that causes weakness in Superman.
Dean: There it is. Jinkies.
- Jinkies is a catchphrase of Velma from the Scooby Gang, who Dean, Sam and Castiel had encountered in 13.16 Scoobynatural.
Dean: So what now? They're opening doors to different worlds and 'Buffalo Billing' chicks?
Ophelia: Out great-grandfather Diego Avila was a member, well until he--
Marco: Went psycho, Jim Jones style.
Yokoth:' I mean us. It was supposed to be us, Glythr and I, together. But my love... they shut the rift before he could make it through.
Dean: Oh my God, that's tragic. It's like a Hallmark movie, but with tentacles.
'Dean: okay. I don't know what kind of kinky Keynaster/Gatekeeper thing you got going on here. But I think I'll pass.
