Liz Taylor's (Denis O'Hare) kimono dress early in the episode, plus the recurring musical theme predominant in the episode, is a clear reference to Kar-Wai Wong's In the Mood for Love (2000).
In the scene where Alex and John encounter the vampire children in the house, a young blond boy is shown wearing a green striped sweater. This could be a nod to the sweater Tate Langdon (Evan Peters) wore in the first season (Murder House), and later in the eighth season (Apocalypse).
