Anamupatsa chilichonse kuchokera pakusintha kwa Tobe Hooper Zambiri za Salem kwa a Francis Ford Coppola Apocalypse Tsopano, ndipo Aaron wachichepere adayamwa aliyense motsatizana.

Zokopa izi zimawonekera mu ntchito ya Dries monga wolemba lero, koma pakadali kanthawi asanadzipangitse yekha kuti ayambe kulemba buku loyambalo, ndipo chopinga china chinali pafupi kutsogola kwa wofotokozera nkhani uja. Inali mphindi yomwe banja lake, makamaka amayi ake, adazindikira kuti anali gay.
