In the segment "The Things in Oakwood's Past", the mayor and his historian daughter have the last name Wrightson, which is a nod to comic book artist Bernie Wrightson, who worked in the Art Department of the original Creepshow film released in 1982.
Toward the beginning of the segment The Things In Oakwood's Past, a picture on the wall depicts the Mayor shaking hands with George A. Romero.
In the comic book styled introduction to the "Time Out" segment, the severed "paw" from the Season 1 segment "Night of the Paw" is shown.
The end of the Oakwood segment's news broadcast loops back around to Creepshow (1982) when the newscaster teases "what's been found at Ryder's Quarry", which is where The Crate was disposed of.
Oakwood is located inside of Castle County. While Castle Rock, also located in Castle County, is a major hub for numerous Stephen King stories, Castle County was also mentioned in the previous episode (3.4, Meter Reader) as well as the Creepshow (1982) segment, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill.
