Yes. Good Omens was a parody of the Omen.

The lack of pea soup is what tells you it’s not Poltergeist <Taps head smart>

Lived directly below The Omen cathedral at uni - whilst finding and reading Good Omens when it first came out 😇😈

I think I picked up enough of the plot of The Omen from popular culture that I got the references in general, but now I’ve got to go watch the movie and see what I missed.

Oh wow... it was all right there, and I genuinely had NO idea.

Just a weird tangent, but I work with a guy named Damian, and I have to remind myself that he's older than the movie by almost a decade.

i assumed most people knew good omens was a riff on the omen. must be wild to read good omens and then see the omen afterward.

Well, now that it's been laid out and confirmed, I know I'm not crazy for noticing the similarities and thinking it. I'm one of them who saw The Omen before Good Omens.
