You will recognize traces of masters such as Stephen King, Clive Barker, Edgar Allen Poe, Sam Raimi, George Romero, John Carpenter, and, of course, HP Lovecraft.

*''[[:wikipedia:A_Farewell_to_Arms|A Farewell to Arms]]'' - The [[Blood#Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms|third episode]] title comes from a semi-autobiographical novel written by Ernest Hemingway concerning events during the Italian campaigns of the First World War.

*''[[:wikipedia:A_Farewell_to_Arms|A Farewell to Arms]]'' - The [[Blood#Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms|third episode]] title comes from a semi-autobiographical novel written by Ernest Hemingway concerning events during the Italian campaigns of the First World War.
