References/parodies in the Nick cartoon - Page 3

Senpai, I think a closer Evil Dead reference is in the Dream Beavers when Mikey is hitting Dave Beaver and he keep splitting into smaller beavers. It's just like when he has to fight all the tiny Ashes from the mirror.

There are a ton of references in the Halloween episodes from early Season 3. I think those are the most packed. They cover Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, The Thing, Tales from the Crypt, and Freaks.

The Big Trouble in Little China episode was just a homage to BTilC, even going to far as to have James Hong voice the Lo Pan ripoff (Ho Chan? I don't remember his name).

Someone already pointed out Mazes and Mutants Dragon's Lair reference. I love Don Bluth stuff so that was cool and on-point. There's also all those LoTRs references there too.

And all the cartoons they watch are just combinations of various cartoons and shows from the genre. From what I've seen, Crognar is a combination of Thundarr, He-Man, and Thundercats references.

And when the turtles were searching for Kari, they had the wolfman, Frankenstein, The Count, and other WB monsters. That was pretty neat.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but in the ep. Casey Jones Vs. the Underworld, Casey at one point says to the enemy:

"The class is pain 101. Your instructor is Casey Jones."

Definite nod to the 1990 movie.
