- The title of this episode is taken from a 2007 Spanish horror film El orfanato, aka The Orphanage, by director J.A. Bayona. It follows the pattern of season two of titling all of their episodes after horror movies. This title actually has a contextual tie to the episode itself, as it is revealed that both Piper Shaw and Kristin Lang grew up in the same foster home together.
- Noah Foster makes reference to April Fool's Day in this episode. This is a 1986 horror film of the slasher genre directed by Fred Walton. It was remade in 2008 by Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores, also known as The Butcher Brothers.
- Noah Foster also makes reference to The House on Haunted Hill, which was a 1959 haunted house movie by director William Castle, which earned a cult following due to its gimmicky marketing. The movie was remade in 1999 by director William Malone.
- The knife that Emma Duval use to stab Noah, Audrey and Kieran in her dream hallucination is the same type of knife that Ghostface classically used to murder people with in the Scream film series.

Quotes[]
- Emma Duval: I've had dreams like this before. They always end with my hands covered in blood. But this time was different. This time I woke up in the kitchen holding a knife.
- Kieran Wilcox: I'm sure if I'd have been able to sleep, I would've had nightmares too.
....
- Emma Duval: It had to be the killer. He's trying to set me and Audrey up for something.
- Noah Foster: That's why he sent that invite. And these people just blindly bought into it. It's like they've never seen April Fool's Day, or The House on Haunted Hill. Accepting an invitation to a mysterious party practically ensures a grisly death.
- Zoe Vaughn: Isn't April Fool's Day the one where everything turns out to be a prank in the end?
- Noah Foster: Not if you've seen the alternate ending.
- Kieran Wilcox: Foster, focus.
....
- Haley Meyers: Hey, you guys. Enjoyed your freak show at the carnival last night!
....
- Noah Foster: Look, Audrey has just been destroyed...
- Emma Duval: Audrey's been destroyed?! Noah, our friends were being killed, and she didn't say anything to anyone, including you!
....
- Audrey Jensen: Emma, I didn't know it was Piper!
- Emma Duval: Oh, my God! Yes, you did! You just didn't want people to blame you!
- Audrey Jensen: That is not true!
- Emma Duval: It is! It is true! And guess what? Everyone should blame you. I blame you!
....
- Miguel Acosta: Stavo didn't come home last night. I've been trying to call him, but he won't answer my calls.
- Maggie Duval: Was he at school today?
- Miguel Acosta: Apparently.
- Maggie Duval: Well, at least you know he's okay.
- Miguel Acosta: That's just it. I'm not so sure. Ever since...
- Maggie Duval: Since when?
- Miguel Acosta: Phoenix. It happened right after his mother died. Stavo and his best friend, Kyle... somehow, they got a hold of my gun. They were messing around with it, and it went off. And the boy, Kyle, got shot in the face.
- Maggie Duval: Oh, my God.
- Miguel Acosta: Stavo called it in, but by the time I got there, the boy was dead.
- Maggie Duval: He must have been traumatized. To see his friend die in front of his eyes like that.
- Miguel Acosta: He was cool as a cucumber. He was drawing. In his notebook.
- Maggie Duval: Drawing what?
- Miguel Acosta: Kyle. Dying... dead. There was a question as to how long the boy was bleeding before he called it in. Ultimately they ruled it an accidental death.
