When Jack and Bella Crawford are at dinner with Hannibal Lecter, Hannibal says to Bella "Mrs. Crawford, your husband introduced you as Bella. Are you an Isabelle or an Annabelle?" to which she replies "I'm a Phyllis." This is almost a direct quote from The Shining (1980), save for the names, when Dick Hollorann says "Mrs. Torrance, your husband introduced you as Winifred. Now, are you a Winnie or a Freddie?" and Wendy replies "I'm a Wendy."
Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) remarks to Will (Hugh Dancy) about his aftershave. The dialogue mimics that of Red Dragon (2002) where Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) tells him he still smells of the after shave with the ship on the bottle.
The victims displayed as "angels" look to have been presented in the same fashion as the police officer killed by Hannibal during his escape in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
