Quotes:

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:

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 band mentioned on the radio near the beginning is "The Coupe DeVilles", which features director John Carpenter.
Bennett, The handyman with Father Malone in the beginning, is played by an uncredited John Carpenter.
The coroner is listed in the credits as "Dr. Phibes", an in-joke reference to the Vincent Price character, Dr. Anton Phibes.
