The episode contains two literary references to the works of Washington Irving (1783-1859). Grace mentions the "Headless Horseman", and John refers to the killer pulling a "Rip Van Winkle", having started the killings anew, forty years after the original killing spree took place. The Headless Horseman comes from Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", written in 1820. In the story, a village by the name Sleepy Hollow is beset by the Horseman. The main character is Ichabod Crane, a local school master, who tries to woo the daughter of an affluent family. In "Rip Van Winkle", the main character is Rip, whose life is run by his evil minded and mouthed wife. One day, Rip wanders into the Catskill mountains to hunt for squirrels and meets strange looking strangers. When he returns to his home village after having spent the night in the strangers' company, he finds that suddenly 18 years has passed since he left the village.
