Let's try to keep this thread up to date. I've noticed that this show makes quite a few references to movie and television, so I thought it would be cool to have a complete list of all of them. If you want to add a reference on this list, check to make sure it hasn't been listed already. I've added my a few just to get thing's started:

-unnamed character modeled after Don Knotts

-family modeled after the Griswalds from the Family Vacation series

-family modeled after the Foremans from That 70's Show

In the episode with the 'Highwayman', the part where Scooby dreams or hallucinates or whatever is very reminiscent of "Twin Peaks", with the little person and room.
"So is anybody working this case besides the Masked Avenger?"

The Red Room and The Man From Another Place were brilliant references and the show even used them to own advantage, which I thought was brilliant.

The fact they got Mike Anderson to come in and do the backwards language stuff was awesome.

That episode was called Nightmare in Red (Season 2, Episode 22).

Hex Girls opening concert on the episode "In Fear of the Phantom" was in a venue that looked damn close to the Goth/Industrial (and sadly alot of times, techno/club kids) venue Limelight in NYC.

In fact, I am kinda sad to figure that now that Crystal Cove is the "Happiest Place on Earth" that a Goth venue (or Goth-like, based on the Hex Girls playing there) like that (as well as the other paranormal/horror themed & Salem, MA parodying; shops, restaurants, and locations) no longer exists in the Scooby Doo universe for them to go back to and do any stories there.

I liked the fact that Scooby Doo took a dark turn in the story telling and was kinda upset that they ended it in the same way that the Star Trek writers handles everything going wrong in a supposedly unfixable way, with time manipulation fixing all the bad things that happened in the story. With (if true) the fact that the end of the series was all just made to explain why the Scooby Doo wandered aimlessly looking for mysteries to solve in the first Scooby Doo cartoon series (as if the fans needed an explanation!!)

You see a Jason Voorhees hockey mask in season 2 episode 5 I think. It's at a circus. You see it for a few seconds right after Shaggy and Scooby go into a tent.

Re the mention of Che Guevera. The character is named Ernesto which was Che's first name. So, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that one....

Where Walks Aphrodite, the scene on the street where Fred's dad and the sheriff make that horrible sound and point and the rest of the town start going after them for not being in the love was just like, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).

In season 2, episode 10, Night Terrors, there are several references to The Shining but the most prominent and obvious is when Scooby enter the bathroom, and Shaggy slowly gets up out of the shower and walks toward him as the creature is reflected in the mirror.

S01EP13 - cicada monster had the voice of DOCTOR CLAW, lol
S01EP21 - if you watch closely during one of the manticore attacks you'll see the mechanical mystic from the Tom Hanks movie "Big".
S01EP20 - a statue of Scrappy Doo ("We all promised that we'd never speak of him" ROFL!)
S01EP22 - Indianna Jones and the temple of doom.
S01EP25 - The characters from the original Johnny Quest cartoon .
"Mister E" - 'Charlie' from Charlie's Angels?

1. star trek movie, undiscovered country (i think) about turning it into a 'fighting chance'
2 Adam Ant song 'stand and deliver', 'i am the dandy highway man'

3 most incredibly, a reference to an unreleased jerry lewis film in which he plays a clown that leads kids from a concentration camp to the gas chamber...NO, i'm not kidding....it was called 'the day the clown cried'

I am *MAX POWERS*- dynamic man of action!!
