Trivia
- Ramirez is the second serial killer amongst the Devil's Night guest, who returned in a season post-Hotel. This was followed by Zodiac Killer, who was alluded in Cult, even though it was implied that the flashback about Zodiac Killer in Cult was actually facricated, thus explaining its obvious contradictory.
- In real life, Ramirez once resided at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, an allegedly haunted place that was reportedly the inspiration for Hotel Cortez due to its scarily high rate of deaths and violence.
