Series references
Ethan's house
We begin with literature.
A Historical look into the Architecture of Eastern European Castles and Keeps by George Trevor
Dude designed the Spencer Mansion and Baker residence.
Gun Survivalist: A Heavy Firearms Manual for Field Combat Situations by Joseph Kendo
 |
| Robert's brother conceived the Silver Ghost, Leon's starting weapon in Resi 4. |
 |
| Joke comes at the end. |
Mushrooms are a type of fungus, and fungus is a form of 'Mold'.
Resi 4 (cancelled Hallucination build)
 |
| Donna remotely controls Angie (and vicious friends) inside House Beneviento. |
 |
| In what would later evolve into Devil May Cry, Leon is attacked by knife-wielding living dolls. |
During boss battle with Heisenberg, Magneto wannabe says "I'm going to murder that boulder-punching asshole, but you're first."
HA HA HA!
Teddy bear
 |
| Plush toy is merely a treasure item. |
After all, we've seen shit before.
 |
| Resi 3 |
 |
| Resi 7 |
But wait.
 |
| In Revelations 2, Natalia gives Lottie big hugs. |
 |
| Resi 4 Ada's Jet-ski Key. |
Code: Veronica
 |
| Optional boss fight takes place at Otto's Mill. |
 |
| Steve the Monster |
Best of all.
Resi Evil 1996 (uncut intro)
Before we assume control of Chris, our man sparks up a fag.
Across the board
Now the fun really begins.
House Beneviento
 |
| On the way to undoubtedly game's best section, numerous dolls swing from trees. |
 |
| This echoes Dario Argento's giallo classic Deep Red. |
One more.
 |
| A ball of yarn is seen on table. |
Random?
Not really.
 |
| Prior to Amanda's death, look what's sitting on chair. |
It's entirely plausible that gloomy interior was based on 'The House of the Screaming Child'.
P.T.
Telephone
Okay, Ethan also takes a call in Resi 7.
Baby
As we can hide from horrific monstrosity, gameplay mechanic very briefly smacks of Clock Tower 3, and/or spiritual sequel Haunting Ground.
The Shining
Angie taunts Ethan by saying:
"I'd make a much better daughter than Rose. Please won't you stay with me - forever?
As there's a distinct pause between 'me' and 'forever', this is very similar in principle to the Grady twins.
"Hello Danny. Come and play with us. Come and play with us Danny. Forever. And ever, and ever."
Hidden mother photography
Donna holding Angie seems to be lifted what was popular during the Victorian era.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Once Ethan gives Angie the point with scissors, heads begin to erratically shake.
Adrian Lyne's iconic thriller was bizarrely remade in 2019.
Want some free advice?
Great.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR FUCKING TIME.
Castle Dimitrescu
Less kick ass, but still interesting.
Dead by Daylight
Within castle walls, the scream of a terrified female is heard.
Bringing in Peter Griffin.
Shut up Meg.
This was no accident, because Leon, Jill and Nemesis will join asymmetrical universe on 15 June.
Brides of Dracula
 |
| Lady D's daughters, Bela, Cassandra and Daniela (not necessarily in that order). |
 |
| Bram Stoker's Dracula |
 |
| Van Helsing |
Hellraiser
 |
| Shortly after getting captured, Ethan is literally hooked. |
Miscellany
 |
| Mia, sorry Miranda, pours a glass of Regina Rose, Romanian for Red Queen. |
This is assumed to be a shout out to live-action, but another RED QUEEN was introduced in The Umbrella Chronicles.
However, bottle of plonk is likely referring to name of Nero's sword in Devil May Cry 4 and 5.
 |
| Moreau is a direct nod to crazy bastard scientist appearing in H. G. Wells novel The Island of Doctor Moreau. |
In-game file describes tests he performed on other human subjects by sending them to sleep and placing Cadou in their tummies.
Finally.
Goats of Warding basically replace Resi 2's Mr. Raccoon toys.
Destroying all twenty collectibles rewards 16,000 CP and the Heretic trophy/achievement.
But that's just for shits and giggles.
The Witch
 |
| Animal can be ignored or... |
 |
| Black Phillip is pure bleating evil. |
Fun fact.
'Charlie' was reportedly a nightmare to train and extremely dangerous.
Ralph Ineson's ribs suffered the brunt of serrated horns and Finchy spent the rest of a five-week shoot on painkillers.
Stay tuned for my 'probably' feature.
