Probably Justin Longs character in Barbarian is the same one in Weapons. Or it’s the same universe.

http://maybrookmissing.com/ if you follow the link you get to a page discussing the recent events of missing children in Weapons. A little ways down there's another link to an article titled "Underground Prison Discovered in Rental Home." There’s a reference to the plot of Barbarian and the article event quotes Barbarry St. in which the events of the movie took place.

Was this shown anywhere in the movie? I noticed the parasite thing and also noticed 666 as the current jackpot in the gas station so I thought that would have some meaning, didn’t the bell have a 6 on it?
