- Complete Monster: Richard Hewitt initially seems like a normal suburban father, but after raping his children's babysiter Trisha, he proceeded to slaughter his own family, a neighboring couple and their daughter, two police officers, and three bystanders—nearly cutting the breasts off of one of them while she was still alive—before capturing, torturing, and sexually abusing Trisha—who he had spent the night taunting with calls and emailed pictures relating to his crimes—and her boyfriend, Matt—whose face he mutilates with a pipe—before fatally impaling him. No motive is given for his actions beyond the implication that he was a closeted psychopath whose sexual assault of Trisha prompted him to finally snap and embark on a sadistic rampage that left himself and a dozen other people dead.
- Paranoia Fuel: It's implied that Richard was spying on Trisha the entire time through the Walkers' nanny cam.
- Retroactive Recognition: The acting debut of Robert Buckley, aka Matt, who would go on to appear in multiple series such as Fashion House, American Heiress, Lipstick Jungle and One Tree Hill.
