You make it read/sound as if they were American filmmakers taking advantage of Canadian tax incentives when, in fact, they were Canadian Filmmakers taking advantage of tax incentives

However, it sure did (and still does) ‘pay’ to pretend the film is American.

In HALLOWEEN III, the original “HALLOWEEN” is shown on the television. “HALLOWEEN” was later in SCREAM. After the appearance in SCREAM, “HALLOWEEN: H20″ included a scene from SCREAM 2, although in the original cut the movie shown is “So I Married An Axe Murderer”.

The painted artwork on the cover of 1985′s HORROR HOUSE ON HIGHWAY 5 is taken from part of the artwork for 1982′s ALONE IN THE DARK.

In the film HORROR HOUSE ON HIGHWAY 5, the killer in the Richard Nixon mask is played by an actor named Ronald Reagan!

The British anthology film FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE shares the EXACT same artwork as FRIGHTMARE, only the image is reversed.

In 2002′s CABIN FEVER, Eli Roth makes has a small camero roll in which he becomes infected with a flesh-eating virus. The Director based this film on an actual real-life experience he had in which he was infected with a very similar flesh-decaying virus.

CABIN FEVER also features a shot lifted from the original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE with the lower torso shot of the female victim approaching a house.

In the film HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, the character of OTIS is based on the character of CHOP TOP from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

In the film “Silent Night, Deadly Night 2″, Ricky and his date go to the movies to watch the original “Silent Night, Deadly Night”.

In the film “Children of The Corn 3″, the main characters drive “70 miles” from Chicago to small-town Nebraska. While in reality, it’s more like 400 miles to ANYWHERE in Nebraska.

Stephen King has made an appearance in nearly EVERY 1980′s horror film he directed.

In Dario Argento’s 1982 Gaillo “Tenebrae”, there is a quick scene in which the lead character dances out the door to the music on the score.

I got more but can’t remember them all…

One thing I’d like to mention about Evil Laugh is the other scene with the girl doing a pre-Rose McGowan (sp?) “Oh, are you the big scary killer” bit. It’s weird who Scream and Evil Laugh are really so much alike!

Nicely spotted, Eagle-eye. I can’t read any of that.

I think the Sleepaway Camp sequels, particularly the dock scene in part 3, were worth mentioning. I might just be a “Particular-Pete”, though.

Slashers films more than most in the genre are usually pretty knowing. I really appreciated this list. Thanks!
