Did You Know?
| Trivia | (At around 28 mins) The quote carved on the vault's door, "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die," is from H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Nameless City." It is supposedly a couplet by Abdul Alhazarred, fictional author of "The Necronomicon." See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 4 mins) When the Doyle's arrive at the mortuary, it's daylight. Within a few moments, Jonathan Doyle is in Bobby Fowler's old room looking outside to the graveyard and it's pitch black. See more » |
