I wonder if the Hand of Vecna was inspired by this.

Did they name Dr. Strangelove after the syndrome or the syndrome after Dr. Strangelove?

"Dr. Strangelove syndrome" was suggested as the official name for AHS. This was not approved, though it is sometimes used as an alternative name.

I just watched it again. I'm never not impressed with Peter Sellers all over this movie.
