The horror movie genre can be a polarizing one. Some fans can't get enough, whether it be vampires, zombies, or just a classic spirit possession. Others watch from behind their hands with the lights on. So when a comedy spoofing the genre came out it had something for everyone. There were inside jokes and callbacks that true fans of horror films would get, but there was also over-the-top slapstick comedy for those fans that just wanted to laugh.
No matter where you fall on the horror movie spectrum, we can all agree that these details are scary good! Vote up your favorites!

When Doofy's Mom Calls For Him, It Reveals The Killer's Identity
Cindy gets a call from the killer telling her she ‘got the wrong guy', but little does she know it's coming from inside the house. When Mrs. Gilmore runs off screaming for her son, Doofy responds on the phone accidentally giving the audience the answer to who the killer is. Redditor u/Krikkin points out:
In Scary Movie (2000) the scene where the killer calls Cindy, at the end of the phone call when Doofy's mom calls for him, you can hear the killer say 'No, it isn't me!'
A former Redditor noticed some horror movie references that would have been easy to miss watching in theaters:
In Scary Movie 2, Cindy's map makes a snarky comment about not having any brains and that if you reach Compton, kiss your a** goodbye. It also references Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St., and Amityville.

There Is A Message For Anyone Who Paused The Movie
Scream had a star of a sitcom as their high school principal, so naturally Scary Movie had to get one too. Redditor u/nybadfish breaks it down:
In Scream, Principal Himbry was played by Henry Winkler, who also played The Fonz from the hit TV show, Happy Days. Principal Squiggman in the parody, Scary Movie, who was played by David L. Lander also played Squiggy, who was a parody of The Fonz on Laverne and Shirley.
