 The idea of people’s nightmares coming true in the episode Nightmares most likely comes from the A Nightmare on Elm Street movie series, in which villain Freddie Krueger has the ability to hurt people while they sleep. |

Der Kinderstod was also definitely influenced by folksie granny-wooer Charlie Landsborough - the scary hat cocked at an angle, the smile, the hair…. I shudder everytime I see his “tapes” (No - Charlie can’t be bought on CD, guys) at my grandmother’s house.

The name “Kindestod” could also be a reference to a phenomenon called “Plötzlicher Kindstod” in German (I think the English name is “Sudden Infant Death Syndrom”). It refers to deaths of very young children without any obvious cause.
