Album Information

Like many of Wednesday albums it features many references and puns relating to horror. "Blood Sucker" is vampire related. The song "Get Your Grave On" may be a pun on "Get Ur Freak On" by Missy Elliott or the phrase "Get Your Game On". "Too Fast for Blood" is clearly a pun on Too Fast for Love by Mötley Crüe, a band Wednesday is a big fan of. "Hail Ming" is based around the character Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon. "Coming Attractions" and "The Dixie Dead" are possibly based on the film Two Thousand Maniacs! due to the similar plots.^{[citation needed]}.

"Carol Anne...They're Here" is based on the character Carol Anne Freeling from the Poltergeist film series. The title also featuring her famous quote "They're Here". "Hands of the Ripper" is a clear reference to the film Hands of the Ripper.
