    Ghostbusters

    Sawyer called Hurley "Stay-Puft", a shout out to the movie Ghostbusters.

    Quote:
    Hurley: "Or, you could just give it to me. Cuz, dude, you could use the points."
    Sawyer: "Well, gosh, you sure know how to butter a man up, Stay-Puft".
    Excerpt from Raised by Another, written by Lynne E. Litt

    Possible Parallel:
    In Ghostbusters, the evil spirit Gozer asks the ghostbusters what form will destroy the earth and Ray thinks of the Stay-Puft marshmallow man. It's an interesting reference as some believe the island manifests the wishes of others - which many believe is a red herring.

    Rosemary's Baby

    It seem this entire episode is modeled on this movie. Numerous references abound.

  • the crying baby followed by the approach to the crib where Rosemary is shocked by what she sees inside;
  • Rosemary/Claire hanging curtains; blonde, sweet, and wearing an emblematic necklace
  • the demonic symbol 666.
  • the betrayal of the heroine by the baby's father
  • the apparent nightmare that results in real wounds to the dreamer
  • the doctor who tells her her fears are imaginary and prescribes a sedative
  • the anagram of the name Roman in RB, Ethan Rom in Lost
  • the spooky, non-human eyes

  • Thanks to templeton at the fuselage
