    Sydney wears clothes so it must be a reference to every movie where a character wears clothes

    you missed the reference at the credits regarding a certain high school not letting them film there or something. It goes something like, “And no thanks to something high school” i dont remember exactly

    I never realised how cleverly constructed this movie was

    10:33 Carrie? You’re sure it’s not the end of Texas Chainsaw where Sally is in the road flagging down the truck driver?

      It seems like standing in the road covered in blood is a pretty common trope, but I’d lean more towards your pick because Sid was actually flagging down help, not just wandering down the road in shock like Carrie.

    The narrator knows more about scary movies than Billy Loomis ever did.. and that went well

    “Hi ho silver” isn’t that also a reference to Stephen Kings IT?

    • William Goldschmidt

      October 28, 2019 at 6:08 pm

      Yes, vanity fair needs a better research team…or they need to just watch and read more horror

      Its actually a lone ranger reference

    I was just watching scream last night. Still a classic

    Black Christmas … one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen. Don’t forget that The Nanny made a kid’s bop bag out of Munch’s The Scream.

    And when Randy is say “Look behind you Jaime” it’s also because he’s played by Jaime Kennedy (spelling), so he’s almost breaking the fourth wall.

      I LITERALLY NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT

  18. Reser Reat

    October 28, 2019 at 6:25 pm

    Hi ho silver is also a reference to the original it special and was also in the book

    “Fixing his hair.” The Fonz never fixed his hair. That was the gag. As the clip you showed illustrates, he’d pull out his comb, then realize he had perfect hair and NOT fix it.

    “The Exorcist was on, it reminded me of you”

  21. Kelsey Paris

    October 28, 2019 at 7:04 pm

    After Billy climbed into Sid’s room he said, “The Exorcist was on, it got me thinking of you.” Small miss, but a hilarious one.

    I literally just finished watching this earlier and noticed how many references there were.

    I loved this movie since I was in 6th grade when it came out! Forever one of my favs

    Sydney screaming and waving a car down like that in the road covered in blood is also a reference to the end of texas chainsaw massacre. Missed one.
