Random Easy-To-Miss Horror Movie Easter Eggs (28 items)

(#2) Kurt Russell's Shirt from Big Trouble in Little China Hangs on the Wall in Death Proof
Quentin Tarantino is obviously a big fan of Kurt Russell, who he cast as the twisted Stuntman Mike in Death Proof. How much of a fan? If you look closely at the bar wall, you can see the shirt Russell wore as Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China.
(#6) The Funeral Home in Slither Calls Back to The Thing
The fate of R.J. MacReady is unknown at the end of The Thing, but the makers of Slither must have a theory about it. In the latter, the R.J. MacReady funeral home clearly refers to the John Carpenter classic.
(#22) The Painting in The Mist Is of Another Stephen King Character

The Mist is an adaptation of a Stephen King novel about a group of people who hole up in a supermarket as bloodthirsty creatures invade their town. Check out the painting Thomas Jane is working on in the movie.

It's clearly the likeness of Roland Deschain, the hero of King's The Dark Tower series.
(#3) Freddy's Glove Is in Ash's Tool Shed in Evil Dead 2
In the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, Nancy tries to stay awake and is watching a trailer for Evil Dead on her bedroom TV. To return the favor, Sam Raimi put Freddy's razor glove on the wall of the tool shed in which Ash gets "groovy" in Evil Dead 2.
(#27) The Miskatonic Sweatshirt in Dagon Is Another Reference to H.P. Lovecraft
Stuart Gordon's 2001 feature Dagon is an adaptation of two of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories: Dagon and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The character Paul wears a sweatshirt from Miskatonic University, a place frequented by the characters in Lovecraft's universe.
(#25) The Characters in Halloween: H20 Watch Scream 2

In the movie Scream, the characters gather round a television at a party and sing the praises of original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween. As a wink back to that moment, a few years later two girls are watching Scream 2 before getting ready for a party in Halloween: H20.
The problem with this is that Halloween: H20 is shouting out to a movie series that has made references to its heroine, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, who also appears in H20. It's enough to make you want Michael Myers to stab the conundrum out of your brain.
