Quotes:

    [Referring to Stevie Wayne's voice on the radio]
    Al Williams
    Boy, would I like to meet her.
    Dick Baxter
    I saw her in the supermarket once.
    Al Williams
    Yeah?
    Dick Baxter
    You WOULD like to meet her.

    Father Malone
    Why not six, Blake? Why not me?

    [On the phone]
    Stevie Wayne
    You're just a voice on the telephone.
    Dan O'Bannon
    And you're just a voice on the radio. We make a perfect couple.
    Stevie Wayne
    Sorry, Dan. My idea of perfection isn't a voice on the phone.

    Kathy Williams
    Sandy, you're the only person I know who can make "Yes, Ma'am" sound like "Screw You".
    Sandy Fadel
    Yes, Ma'am.

Trivia:

  • The band mentioned on the radio near the beginning is "The Coupe DeVilles", which features director John Carpenter.
     
  • Characters Nick Castle, Dan O'Bannon, Tommy Wallace are all named after John Carpenter's real-life collaborators.
     
  • Adrienne Barbeau's last line, "...look for the fog...", echoes the last line from The Thing from Another World, "Watch the skies." John Carpenter later remade that film as The Thing.
     
  • The coroner is listed in the credits as "Dr. Phibes", an in-joke reference to the Vincent Price character, Dr. Anton Phibes.
     
  • Bennett, The handyman with Father Malone in the beginning, is played by an uncredited John Carpenter.
