The scene where Sam hands Ritchie to his sister Sari and says "take your brother outside as fast as you can, and don’t look back" is a replay of the teaser for the [[Pilot]] when John hands baby Sam to Dean and says the same words.}}

'''Dean:''' First you tell me that you've got the Shining, and then you tell me that I've gotta go back home?<br>:''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shining_%28film%29 ''The Shining] ''] (1980) is a feature film by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick Stanley Kubrick] based on the novel of the same title by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King Stephen King]. The film stars [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicholson Jack Nicholson] as tormented writer Jack Torrance. Jack's son, Danny, had creepy visions of impending evil. Another character referred to this "gift" as The Shining, hence the title. I will always assume that Dean is referring to the Kubrick film, not the novel or remake, as he also (in later episodes) makes several references to Jack Nicholson's role in the film.''}}

'''Dean:''' Missouri did her whole Zelda Rubenstein thing. The house should be clean; this should be over.[[Image:cymbalmonkey.jpg|frame|right|Cymbal Monkey of Doom]]
:''Zelda played psychic Tangina Barrons in the 1982 film'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelda_Rubenstein ''Poltergeist] ''] and its sequels. There is a scene in the first film where she does her psychic thing, then proclaims "This house is clean!" It is not, of course, and much more mayhem ensues... Perhaps Dean should have given more thought to his own reference here. :)}}

The cymbal-banging toy monkey is arguably an homage: There is a short story by Stephen King titled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkey "The Monkey"], synopsis as follows: "The story centers on a toy monkey that is apparently possessed by evil. The monkey is found by children, and their parents are, for some reason, freaked out. Periodically, the sinister monkey comes into motion, predicting the death of someone. In the end, the monkey is dumped in a lake in a bag full of heavy stones, thus stopping the deaths."}}

Dean hacking away at the front door with an axe and then peering inside the hole is reminiscent of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_C4f7JKVfQ the scene from ''The Shining''], albeit without Jack Nicholson's famous catchphrase.}}
