Lore and Interesting Facts:

The title of the episode references the 1966 movie It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. In the movie and the comic strip "Peanuts" the character Linus believed that on Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rose out of the pumpkin patch he demmed the most "sincere". The Great Pumpkin then flew around and delivered toys to all the good little children in the world. Each year, Linus would wait in a suitably sincere pumpkin patch hoping to see the Greats pumpkin, who reputedly only appeared to those who belived in it.

Uriel refers to humans in this episode as "mud monkeys"; his attitude and namecalling is extremely similar to the archangel Gabriel in "The Prophecy". In that movie, Gabriel refers to humans as "monkeys" and "talking monkeys".

Dean: Umm, I'm Agent Geddy, this is Agent Lee.
(Geddy Lee is the lead vocalist and bass guitarist of rock-band Rush.)
Dean: Agent Seger, FBI.
(Bob Seger is an American rock musician, who primarily wrote songs about blue-collar themes and was highly successful as a solo artist, as well as with The Bob Seger System.)

Quotes:

Sam: What about you? Find anything on the victim?
Dean: This Luke Wallace--he was so vanilla that he made vanilla seem spicy.

Sam: You can't do this. You're angels. You're supposed to show mercy.
Uriel: Says who?
Dean to Uriel: I mean, come on, you're gonna wipe out a whole town for one little witch. Sounds to me like you're compensating for something.
