Warning: Spoilers ahead for season two, episode 18 of "Riverdale," titled "A Night to Remember."
Opening night for "Carrie: The Musical" turned into tragedy on Wednesday's episode of "Riverdale."
The Black Hood returned from the "dead" to murder Midge and threaten the town with terror, all during Riverdale High's musical production. The musical — a very real show that flopped on Broadway — is based on Stephen King's novel and the 1976 movie of the same name. The CW drama managed to squeeze in some details from the movie and also introduced a comic staple.
INSIDER worked with Archie Comics to reveal six references you might have missed.

Kevin Keller's suit is almost exactly like the tux Tommy wears in the "Carrie" movie.
Kevin serves as the director of the school's musical. And on opening night, his powder blue suit is an almost exactly replica of the suit Tommy wears to prom in the movie. From the bow tie to the pale pink boutonnière to the ruffled shirt, Kevin nails it.
Midge's death mirrors that of the death of Carrie's mother.
Midge and Carrie's mother are both killed by multiple stab wounds, and their bodies are pinned to the wall in almost the exact same position. Even the knives in Midge's body are in almost the exact same locations.
Cheryl's prom dress costume is exactly the same as Carrie's prom dress.
Cheryl wears a silky pink shift dress just like the prom dress Sissy Spacek's Carrie wore in the movie. She also briefly holds flowers and wears a tiara for when Carrie is crowned prom queen.
