Trivia & References
The title Hunteri Heroici, is a play on the Looney Tunes cartoon convention of giving fake Latin species names to characters, for example Speedometrus Rapidus for the Roadrunner. During the the episode, there is a freeze frame where Dean is labelled as Hunterus Heroicus and Dr Mahoney labelled as Grotesques Villianus.
The tags were presented in the typeface Comic Sans, a much maligned typeface, although in this situation, very appropriate.
Big Ryan's Gas and Sip at the beginning of the episode was named after VFX Coordinator Ryan Curtis.
Brian Markinson who played Amelia's father Stan Thompson, previously appeared on 1.04 Phantom Traveler as Jerry Panowski.
Castiel's turn as the "bad cop" was an homage to TV detective Columbo from the 1970's detective series. In the show, Columbo also wore a crumpled trench coat.
Dean: I don't know what we're hunting. Maybe its a tulpa, maybe it some guy who watched too much Robot Chicken.
A tulpa is an idea that is made manifest, such as was encournted by Sam and Dean in 1.17 Hell House. Robot chicken is a stop-motion animated series that parodies pop culture.

Ben Edlund once pitched the idea of an episode with an act break from the POV of a cat. Nowhere else in the story do you go into the cat's POV, but only for one act break. source.
