- One pick is Annie's leg broken all the way backwards, likened to the Tyree Kale (as transcribed) injury.
- Another is the Scooby-Doo gang trope of kids trying to figure out what's coming after them.
- A third is the director doing multiple Halloween homages: the opening street shot, Jay walking with her friends toward a camera going backwards like Jamie Lee and her two friends, and Jay in the classroom looking out the window, called homage rather than ripoff.
- Breaking into Greg's house while she calls him on the phone, and being afraid to fall asleep, are called Nightmare on Elm Street.
