Talk:Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th

message: This line in the trivia section makes no sense:
While the film was originally intended to have a theatrical release, because of the big similarities with Scary Movie (2000) and the popularity of that previous film, it was decided to release it direct-to-video. Ironically, Shriek star Simon Rex would later appear in Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4.
Popularity of what previous film? If its the first Scary Movie to come out it couldnt be a reference to that, are they talking about the 3rd Scream movie? Or is it meant to as aforementioned? If its used as described by the latter choice then it should be removed as its confusing.
::This film isn't the first Scary Movie it's just a movie too similar to it and because Scary Movie was first to be released in cinemas, this one had to be direct to videoKkbhe 10:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone forgot to put in "There's Something About Mary" when the girl walked by with her hair sticking up like it did in that movie.

message: *American Pie - Bonner makes a pact to lose his virginity much like the teens in American Pie did.
*Batman - In one scene, "The Administrator Formerly Known As Principal" gets hit with things causing sounds and sound effects are spelled out on screen like in the Batman TV series.
*Baywatch - When Bonner is in swimming class, two lifeguards attempt to save him from drowning in a "Baywatch style". Also, the swim teacher is named Mr. Hasselhof.
*Chariots of Fire - When Martina and the killer are racing on the field the announcer says "And Martina is in the lead; no the Killer is in the lead". At a certain point, even the theme song of this movie can be heard.
*Charmed -  In a scene in the High School, Julie Benz's character mentions something about witches and Shannen Doherty who at the time starred in Charmed, a TV series about three sister witches.
*Christine - In one scene, the Killer is seen attempting to kill Slab in a '50s-style car whose colour scheme is almost identical to Christine.
*Dawson's Creek - The character Dawson, who has sex with his teacher, is taken from the show.
*Deliverance -  The banjo music playing while Barbara Primesuspekt is in the garage door is similar to Dueling Banjos.
*Ferris Bueller's Day Off - When one of the teachers asks for a volunteer to fuel the projecter, he repeats "Fueller, Fueller", in a monotone voice. This is a reference to the scene in Ferris Bueller in which a teacher also repeats, in a monotone voice, "Bueller? Bueller?"
*Grease -  Slab does the "Greased Lightning" dance.
* Halloween - The film is set over the course of Halloween, which is an obvious reference to the film and its setting.
*Friday the 13th series - The beginning of the movie features the killer wearing Jason Voorhees' trademark hockey mask (which becomes the Ghostface mask after the killer lights a cigarette, which catches on fire, causing the hockey mask to melt). The pool part is similar to Jason's Crystal Lake home. Also in the scene in which the killer is unmasked he is wearing a pillocase similar to the one Jason wore in Friday the 13th Part 2.
*Home Alone - The killer slides down the stairways using a sledge. A similar scene is seen in the film Home Alone.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer - The gang all receive notes and have flashbacks relating to the main plot line of the film. Also, Julie Benz parodies Sarah Michelle Gellar's character from the film.
*Mentos commercials - When the killer attacks Barbara in the bathroom, she takes a Mentos and a song similar to the Mentos theme tune is played.
*A Nightmare on Elm Street - The group mention running away and hiding in a boiler room, similar to the one in which Freddy Krueger is killed. Also, girls are seen in the school hallways with nails similar to the razors on Freddy Krueger's gloves.
*The Omen - The scene where the killer, after Bonner dies from a heart attack, kicks the bed and a church cross hits the girls head parodies the scene in The Omen where a flash of lightning hits a church cross and the cross falls on the priest.
*The Phantom of the Opera - The killer plays Toccata in D Minor on an organ like the Phantom.
*Pop-up Video - Towards the end of the film, "Chop-up Video" is featured, with pop-up "facts" about the film displayed on screen.
*Reservoir Dogs - When all the main students are walking together in slow motion (it turns out they walk slow since every one in the background walks normally) the song "Little Green Bag" plays on the background, exactly like in the iconic "hero walk" scene of Reservoir Dogs. 
*Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Moesha, Daria -  "Mrs. Tingle" calls on random female students sharing the names of popular fictional teen females of the late-1990's.
*Satan's School for Girls - Also mentioning the same scene about witches, this references a movie both Julie Benz and Shannen Doherty worked on about the Supernatural. This is also a reference to the movie Satan's School For Girls that starred both Doherty and Benz. 
*Scream - The killer in the film is identical to Ghostface as well as numerous scenes from it and references to the series. For example, in the beginning when the killer calls Screw, he asks, "Do you like scary movies?"
 
*Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers  -  The scene where the killer tries to kill a student with dental floss is similar to the scene where Angela kills Demi with a guitar string in the second Sleepaway Camp film.
 
*There's Something About Mary - At one point, a girl walks by with her hair sticking up like Cameron Diaz in that movie.
*Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - Dawson uses The Killer's voice altering fan to sound like Darth Vader and say "I am your father, Luke".  
 
*Teaching Mrs. Tingle -  A teacher in the film has the same name as that of Helen Mirren's character. 
*The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - The scene where Bonner tries to seduce a girl but is threatened by the killer with a chainsaw before dying of a heart attack, is similar to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Also when the killer is unmasked, it turns out he has about 120 more masks under the Ghostface one. Among those masks is Leatherface's mask.
*The Wizard of Oz - As the killer's mask begins to melt, he cries out, "I'm melting!"
