There are perhaps some similarities, but then again Argento and Carpenter are friends and Carpenter admits in the films commentary on the British disc from Momentum that the knife murder in Prince of Darkness was his attempt at a bonefide Dario Argento murder set piece. Argento sees Carpenters films and might have gotten some thoughts and influences from watching Prince of Darkness that he used for his project The Church (or Demons 3 as it was first known). Allthough Soavi was appointed to direct it, Argento was very much in charge of the production and story of the film. This was after all Soavi's first stint as director working for Argento, after having done work as first and second assistant director on many of his films and directed his first feature film Stagefright for Aristide Massacessi (Joe D'Amato).
