Bookend Quotes[]

Trivia[]

  • Promos for the episode advertise the unsub as turning his victims into "zombies". Considering the unsub's true M.O., the episode could be an obscure allusion to a 1977 Canadian horror film, also titled Rabid, which involves a woman whose unique plastic surgery is capable of turning people into "rabid zombies" whose bites spread the disease.
  • Stone Eisenmann, the child actor who voiced Hunter Cunningham, previously appeared in Criminal Minds, starring as young Billy Flynn in the Season Six episode "The Longest Night".
