Horror References in Last Night's SPN (aka A Shameless Self-Plug)

[jetpack_monkey]

For the Supernatural fans looking for the references from last night's episode:

Dracula -- clearly a pastiche on (well, Lenny Bruce's parody of) Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931). Poor Dean gets put in the putzy Jonathan Harker role, while Sam gets to be the badass German dude as Van Helsing.
The Wolf Man -- The Wolf Man (1941)
The Mummy -- The Mummy's Hand (1940)
The way the Mummy rose from his crypt -- very similar to how Count Orlok rolled in Nosferatu (1922)
The whole Oktoberfest/lederhosen thing -- straight out of the very Germanic town celebration in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)
Dean's Abbott and Costello joke -- Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Jamie -- Her name is totally a call to Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween (1978)
"Twas beauty who killed the beast" -- Straight outta King Kong (1933)
The shifter's speech at the end -- A definite parallel with the demise of lycanthrope Henry Hull in Werewolf of London (1935)
Killer uses old movies to be understood -- Fade to Black (1980)
