* In the video for "Jesus He Knows Me", Father [=DeFroque=]'s debauched evening ends with him getting bukakked by several men carrying hockey sticks. The following morning, he's combing his obviously still-gooped hair back into place, which nods to the "hair gel" scene from ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary''.

* In the The video for "Jesus He Knows Me", Me" features a couple of prominent nods:
**
Father [=DeFroque=]'s debauched evening ends with him getting bukakked by several men carrying hockey sticks. The following morning, he's combing his obviously still-gooped hair back into place, which nods hearkens to the "hair gel" scene from ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary''.
** The concept of the video itself, from [=DeFroque=] being a shady televangelist down to the aforementioned scene, is based on a scene from ''Film/NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation'' where Clark and Cousin Eddie are shopping and Eddie bemoans the money that he and his wife sent to "that TV preacher that was screwin' the hockey players".

* Their album and merchandise artworks feature frequent homages to horror movies, as well as other bands, occasionally:
** ''Opus Eponymous'' [[http://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/ghost-opus-salems-lot.jpg is based upon]] ''Literature/SalemsLot''.
** ''If You Have Ghost'' [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h5fqa1Eeg4w/VWiwN4IfJ0I/AAAAAAAAA_8/k4GHUs2SPEs/s1600/ifyouhaveghostart.png is based on]] ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}''.
** [[http://www.blumhouse.com/2016/11/16/the-band-ghosts-many-horror-homages/ More homages]] include ''Film/KingKong1933'', ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', ''Film/{{FrightNight1985}}'' and ''Film/TheShining''.
* Papa III's looks were based on Creator/BelaLugosi while Papa II's were inspired by the founder of the Church of Satan himself, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/Satanism Anton LaVey]].
* Cardinal Copia bears a striking resemblance to famous horror star Creator/VincentPrice, although after his plastic surgery this isn't so much the case anymore
* "Cirice"[='s=] video features a nod to ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'', as the girl the band is playing to suddenly develops telekinesis and begins causing havoc in the auditorium, although in a less violent way than Carrie.
* "Chapter Seven: New World Redro":
** The video is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/TheShining'', featuring long silent shots of Cardinal Copia riding around on a tricycle and later seeing the eerie twins that accompany Papa Nihil in the same manner as the twins from the film. Also, Nihil is typing a letter to Sister Imperator only to realize that he's just been typing "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES PAPA BAD DAD" repeatedly. He later sees who he thinks is the young Imperator but who turns into his younger self (which is also a teaser for the next Chapter video). The video title even references the "REDRUM" bit.
** Papa Nihil's letter to Sister Imperator (or at least, what he thinks he's typing) is a rewording of part of the lyrics of "Frankly Mr. Shankly" by Music/TheSmiths.
* The ''Impera'' album cover is directly inspired by a famous picture of Creator/AleisterCrowley, doing the exact same pose as on the cover. Addtionally, "Call Me Little Sunshine" is from a quote by Crowley about the meaning of his title "The Beast 666".
