As usual, there are a lot of movie references in the play - in addition to having a character called Carrie ("like the film"), there are several allusions to Vincent Price movies, with the gruesome multiple killings recalling the two Dr. Phibes films and "Theatre Of Blood" and the waxwork which begins to speak reminding us of "House Of Wax", whilst dismembered mannequins recall both Kubrick's "Killer's Kiss" and Blake Edwards's "Experiment In Terror". However, the most extended reference seems to be to a much less well-known film, 1973's "Arnold", which also has a dead man seeming to be the architect of revenge murders.
