    It's likely the writers made it up.

    Maybe. There's lots of films with scuttling killer bugs, though and the bit with the "hidden door" doesn't match at all.

    I actually think this is a clever comparison. The part about the door is a bit loose, sure, but if you think about it, they did open a door behind which no one knew what they'd find, and the bugs came out. And with the timing being the same, it's easy the writers could have been inspired by this scene - They could have used anything, and chose bugs; that doesn't seem far-fetched at all.
