Trivia & References

The film playing in the theater Mary was leaving was Slaughterhouse-Five, which was released on March 15, 1972.
Mary: Latika, you nearly fainted when you saw "Willard."
Willard is a 1971 horror film, about the titular character, who can control rats and goes on a rampage of revenge against those who wronged him.
Carlos: Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison. Amen.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison are musicians and members of the 27 Club, an informal list of musicians and artists that have died at the age of 27.

Minutiae

The episode was dedicated to Lou Bollo, who served as stunt coordinator from Seasons 1-12, and received "Story by" credits for 4.02 Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester and 4.08 Wishful Thinking. Lou passed away on July 11, 2022.
While Tom Welling was cast as Samuel Campbell, he did not play the role in the pilot episode.
In 12.01 Keep Calm and Carry On, Dean describes John and Mary's first meeting, as the two bumping into each other when Mary came out of a movie theater, and going for coffee afterwards, where John proceeded to impress Mary with his knowledge of Led Zeppelin lyrics. The pilot episode of The Winchesters alters this, with John and Mary simply going their separate ways after first meeting.
Unlike the demons in Supernatural, the demons in The Winchesters are given "demonically" modulated voices.
Canon discrepancy: When demons are exorcised they are sent to Hell, return to Earth is a rare and arduous process for demons as described by Meg in 2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign.
The Winchesters does not explain who the "old man" John was asked about in 4.03 In the Beginning, leaving it a canon discrepancy. The episode does reveal that John's maternal grandfather was a mechanic, and that his mother, Millie opened her own auto shop, explaining John's line about being "a mechanic from a family of mechanics."
