Trivia

In the black-and-white scene in which the young Samuel is trying to move rocks, the music is "Karn Evil 9" (First Impression, Part II), from the album 'Brain Salad Surgery' (1973) by Emerson Lake and Palmer. The title "Karn Evil" is a play on the word "carnival" - prescient, since Samuel later becomes the leader of a traveling carnival.
