Sam and Dean use the alias' Raimi and Campbell, a reference to writer director Sam Raimi and actor Bruce Campbell, who both worked on the classic horror movie Evil Dead. Kripke has stated he would love to have Bruce Campbell guest star on Supernatural.
The theme of the dead calling their living relatives is similar to the 1986 movie Making Contact (Joey), in which the kid Joey develops telekinetic abilities, making his toys float. His red toy telephone suddenly starts ringing - he's receiving calls from his dead father. Tribute is paid to the movie in the scene where Lanie's little brother talks to his "mother" (actually the Crocatta) on his toy telephone.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is heard as the voice of John Winchester - as imitated by the Crocotta and is credited as a Special Guest Star.
