It’s a jungle gym out there
Midwich Elementary School is modeled after the school from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Kindergarten Cop. Seriously. Many of the posters decorating the walls inside the school are ripped straight from the film as well.
Public journal
The message above appears the first time Harry saves his progress. It is very similar to a line from Stephen King’s novel, The Mist, which reads:
“There is a restaurant here, a typical HoJo restaurant with a dining room and a long, horseshoe-shaped lunch counter. I am going to leave these pages on the counter and perhaps someday someone will find them and read them.”
