Notable References made throughout Turtles History

[PangolinFeets]

I was trying to find a thread that discusses all the references that exist in the turtleverse, but I couldn't so I'm making this. If one exists, please kindly delete this and link me to it. Thanks. :)

There are a buttload of references made to horror, pop culture, and everything else throughout the comics and the cartoons. Does anyone know if anyone's ever tried to compile them? I was looking for this but couldn't find much.

If not, what are your favorite references made?

The original show had lots of references to old movies. Many episode names were references to movies. "Enter: the Fly"'s title referenced "Enter: the Dragon", and the origin of the fly closely mimicked Jeff Goldblum's in the movie "The Fly" (it actually made more sense in the movie, though).

There were many other episodes with names referencing movies.."Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers", "Attack of the 50 Foot Irma", "Son of Return of the Fly II", "20,000 Leaks Under the City", "Four Turtles and a Baby", "Funny, They Shrunk Michelangelo" and many others.

The Nick series season 3 episode 1 is titled "Within The Woods" which is the name of the prequel (original test version) of The Evil Dead by Sam Raimi. Even though the Creep is more inspired by Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, there are a few small Evil Dead references. For instance, the vines dragging April into the woods is similar to when the trees come alive and attack Cheryl, the shed, I think there were a few others in that episode too.
