Of the many Infernal Demons that can be summoned by Bayonetta during a Climax Attack, the Little Devils are an obscure reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, more specifically Guido Mista's Sex Pistols. Director Hideki Kamiya has mentioned during a commentary that, much like Sex Pistols, each of the five devils have their own personality, and have a number written on their foreheads, with the #4 missing as it may be considered very unlucky by Zero, the King of the Little Devils.

During the secret "Out of this Dimension" level, listening carefully to the music that plays throughout reveals the level's theme to be a distorted version of Johann Strauss II's "Voices of Spring" waltz. The giant slot machine's battle theme is a mix of several folk songs: the Japanese folk song "Yuki", the American folk song "When the Saints Go Marching In", and the German folk song "Hänschen Klein". As the fake credits roll after defeating the giant slot machine, a distorted rendition of the credits theme can then be heard.

Giorno Giovanna's HHA move has unique animations for each character in the game, five of which reference various panels from the manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and/or abilities of the person being attacked;
• When used against Jonathan Joestar, Giorno's stand will apply its thumb onto Jonathan's eye, referencing Part 1 (Phantom Blood) in which Dio Brando challenges Jonathan Joestar to a boxing match and cheats by jamming his thumb into his eye, causing it to bleed and temporarily blind him.
• When used against Jean Pierre Eiffel (Polnareff in Japan), Jean's tongue will stick out, referencing to Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) in which another character, Hol Horse, is pointing a gun towards him and Jean is trying to warn the rest of his group about it by pointing behind him with his tongue.
• When used against Dio Brando (Part 3 version), the attack hits Dio's upper-head. Normally the attack hits other characters in the cheek or jaw, but this is likely a reference to Jotaro Kujo managing to successfully attack Dio Brando and temporarily caving in his skull.
• When used against Bruno Bucciarati, his face will contort more so than any of the other characters, in reference to Giorno and Bruno's first fight in Part 5 (Vento Aureo), which was also the first time Gold Experience was used offensively.
• When used against Father Pucci of Part Six (Stone Ocean), Giorno's stand will use his other hand to "anchor" itself from Pucci's stand ability of inverting gravity. The screen even rotates 90 degrees to show Pucci attempting to use the inverse gravity to repel Giorno's attack.

Several references to horror stories and movies can be found in the game. In the Point Lookout DLC, a unique knife called the "Toy Knife" can be found alongside a Hockey Mask, referencing Jason Voorhees from the movie series Friday the 13th.
Another reference is found in both the standalone Fallout 3 and in Point Lookout, the first being in a simulation called Tranquility Lane, in which the player can don a clown mask as a kid and begin a killing-spree within the simulation. The second time the mask pops up is in Point Lookout, which is found on top of a skeleton in a bathtub inside a motel room, which itself is adorned with skeletons and blood splattering. This is a reference to Michael Myers from the Halloween movie series, and more specifically his first kill where he wore a clown suit and mask, doing so as a kid.
H.P. Lovecraft references appears in the standalone Fallout 3 too, with the inclusion of the Dunwich Building. The story told through the building via Audio Logs and the apparent obelisk near the end references the Cthulhu Mythos, more specifically the story called The Dunwich Horror, which the very building is named after. The player can also hear the word "Alhazred" from the Obelisk alongside one of the last audio logs, which refers to the fictional author of the Necronomicon, who is named Alhazred. The narrative is extended even further with the inclusion of the Point Lookout DLC, which includes an actual quest line involving a tome named The Krivbeknih and the owner of the book, Obadiah Blackhall. The Krivbeknih is in reference to the number of various books/tomes and artifacts featured predominately in Lovecraftian stories, and the Blackhall family is another reference to The Dunwich Horror, namely that of the Wheatley Family, as well as a possible reference to the central family in The Lurker at the Threshold, which involves an aristocratic man that inherits his family's dark legacies.
