• The ending from "Phantom Green" is from Tim Burton's film Ed Wood (1994). It is not the actual clip from Bride of the Monster.
• The track "Dead Girl" is an electric guitar arrangement and cover of an acoustic track from Acid Bath's Paegan Terrorism Tactics.
• "Cosmic Dancer" is a T. Rex cover.
• "Big Black Backwards" and "Slave Riot" feature clips from the movie Gummo.
