- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The dream where the furniture floats up in the air and then falls. This dream is the farthest from his others - it doesn't have rain or birds or anyone attacking him - just a person seen through the window and floating furniture.
- Paranoia Fuel: The premise of the movie. Imagine you or one of your loved ones becomes so overwhelmed with the idea of an unproven imminent danger, they become more fearsome and erratic than the supposed danger they're dreading.
- Signature Scene: Curtis' freakout at the Lions' Club dinner, which is almost always used to represent the movie itself in videos discussing the film as well as proof of Michael Shannon's incredible talent.
