Really love all the references


To horror and musical stuff. Some of my favorites:
- The one camper who was a Liza Minelli circa Cabaret look alike
- The melodic references...like that one song that took some of the chorus from Jesus Christ Superstar
- The pretty clear Pinhead reference in the death of the quick change girl

Any one else have some favorite references from this film?

I also just loved Meatloaf in general...the whole movie I was like "Hey is that Meatloaf" and bam...it was. Very cool.

When there's was the montage of the kids preparing for the show the younger kinda chubbier kid was using a buzz saw. He had on an apron and at one point was waving it around in the air and defintaley reminded me of leatherface at the end of the original Texas Chainsaw.

The red paint and her red hair were in reference to Carrie
The poster in the backround was homage to "Les Miserables"

Oh yeah the posters were great! Now I have to watch it again haha, at least just the scenes with those posters in the background. The other poster was another play, and then one of the two posters had an image that related to a third play. But I can't remember! lol
