Walking Heads were an arctic rock band formed by a parasitic alien monster from the bodies of David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison. Described as "one of the most critically acclaimed nightmares of the '80s", the group helped to pioneer new horror music by integrating elements of isolation, freezing temperatures, and fear of a monstrous alien life form.
"Touch Diana Ross in the Morning" is a song written by The Thing for Diana Ross.
The Thing: Why I am an Alien Shape Changer is an autobiographical book by G. K. Chesterton 1.1 about his efforts to reconcile his mission as an extraterrestrial shape changer with his deeply held Catholicism.
"Show No High Anxieties Surrounding Monster Foreshadow Twist" is an anagram of "There's a storm hitting us in six hours, and we're gonna find out who's who."
