The song "As I Slither" was featured on the soundtrack for the film Alone in the Dark (2005) via Nuclear Blast, which is considered one of the worst movies ever made, starring actress Tara Reid.

The song "The Night They Returned" was originally composed for the feature film (also titled The Night They Returned) by independent filmmaker Sv Bell. Ultimately, Nuclear Blast did not authorize the use of the track for the film. Members of the band make a brief cameo in the movie, which was released in 2004.
