She famously built the Winchester Mystery House, supposedly being instructed to by spirits. The Winchester house may be a reference to the Winchester brothers in the TV show Supernatural, or to the house of Sarah Winchester, wife of treasurer of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, William Winchester. Also, in the forest with red grass next to the house Winchester, there is a standing lamp, which is clearly a reference to the Chronicles of Narnia. Other locations referencing popular culture include Misty Lake, which resembles a suburb of Silent Hill. Also, many of the community locations are named in the same alliterative style that is used by Lemony Snicket in the same series, and there is also a large burnt house at the end of a street which may be a reference to the Baudelaire mansion. The Flynn family may be a spoof of the Baudelaire family from the book series A Series of Unfortunate Events, written by Lemony Snicket. The names are also used to refer to a corpse or hospital patient whose identity is unknown. The names John Doe and Jane Doe are used as placeholder for a party whose true identity is unknown or must be withheld in a legal action, case, or discussion in many English-speaking nations. He might also be a reference to Pierrot, the classic sad clown from Commedia dell'arte.
For example, the Yates family are a spoof of Norman and Norma Bates from the Psycho franchise, Lucien Hyde might be a spoof of shock rocker Marilyn Manson, and Julian Poirot shares his last name with Hercule Poirot from Agatha Christie's mystery novels. Like many worlds in The Sims 3, Midnight Hollow contains various references to real world culture.
