There are a few coincidental connections between this story and the ABC Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows. Both stories take place in the 1970s (though Dark Shadows also took place in the late 1960s as well). Both stories take place in the state off Maine, and both involve characters with the surname of Collins. Actor Stefan Gierasch, who plays Mister Morton, will go on to play Michael Woodard in the 1991 Dark Shadows revival series. Actress Chloë Grace Moretz, who will play Carrie White in the 2013 remake of Carrie, also played Carolyn Stoddard in the feature film version of Dark Shadows by director Tim Burton.
Priscilla Pointer is the mother of Carrie actress Amy Irving.
