184.59.149.197: /* Beetlejuice Cartoon, maybe? */

== Narrator ==

"The narrator at the end, as well as his rhyming cadence and the background organ music, is a reference to the Ghost Host of Disney's Haunted Mansion."

Really? It seemed like a blatant reference to Vincent Price in Micheal Jackson's Thriller. {{unsigned|73.11.214.10|03:29, 30 October 2015}}

== Title of the episode ==

If you try to share the link to the Homestar Page, it titles the episode as "St. Cadaverstump's Home for Wayward Sbemails" & not "The House That Gave Sucky Tricks." {{unsigned|73.11.214.10|03:32, 30 October 2015}}
:That's because when you share a link, it takes the page title in the tab at the top. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 04:02, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

== TiVo? ==

Does anyone think we should add that Strong Mad is dressed up like a TiVo?

== The Goblin ==

The Goblin is not in this cartoon. [[Special:Contributions/76.102.80.126|76.102.80.126]] 18:14, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
: Yes. And? He's also not in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]], or [[I Killed Pom Pom]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

== Marizpan's shoes ==

Is it worth pointing out that in the pile of shoes are a pair of distinctly marizpan looking shoes, suggesting that she regularly wears shoes like that?--[[Special:Contributions/14.200.191.4|14.200.191.4]] 22:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
:That's speculation; which is not something we document. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
::Actually, it's not speculation at all, it's a reference to [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|the running gag about Marzipan's legs]] and warrants inclusion both here and there. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:19, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

== "A 220 in four-fourty-five" ==

Could we get an Explanation on this? Is "220 in 4:45" even remotely impressive?

==Horror Experience Room ==
The whole "immersive horror experience room" is at least a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_to_Escape Race to Escape] (complete with ridiculous leaps in logic).
:And other things of that nature. There are many such things in existence. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

== The New Face of Terror ==

Is it me, or is Large Bean a dead-on parody of [[Wikipedia:Slender Man|Slenderm'n]]? The design is similar, they are both "unsettling" rather than graphic, and they both have become popular enough to warrant plush toys (which are even closer in design).
<br>And if you want to get ''really'' nit-picky, the scene keeps jump-cutting between the room itself and Strong Bad watching on a live feed, where there is a small amount of ''static''.
<br>Yeah, that last one was a stretch... [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer|But still.]] And I'm aware that this is now a controversial topic, but if the toon is referencing it then it should be added. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 17:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

== Just a Gigolo ==

*When Strong Bad says "Why if I had a haunted house, I think it would turn out a little something..." could be a reference to David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigolo" song and music video.
Could someone please explain which specific part of the music video this line "could" reference, since I haven't seen it myself? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:If noone knows the connection, and thus whether or not it seems that strong, does this entry still seem worth keeping on the toon's page? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 14:12, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

== I Wanna Speak To Cookie Puss, Man! ==

Could the KoT's Cookie Puss line be a reference to an early Beastie Boys number by the same name? I only ask because the Beasties are referenced multiple times throughout the site.
:[[Wikipedia:Cookie Puss|nope]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:18, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
::I know Cookie Puss is a real mascot, but this wouldn't be the first sneaky reference. [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Popular_Music_References#Beastie_Boys] [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/File:BubsMCA.png] [http://i.imgur.com/qoHbraU.png] {{User:YoghNess/sig}}
:::I don't know why you call those references "sneaky", but there's absolutely NOTHING here to suggest KoT is referring to anything other than the mascot. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:01, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

== Beetlejuice Cartoon, maybe? ==

I'm curious if Homestar's song might be a reference to an old episode of the Beetlejuice animated series which took place on a tropical island and ended with the same "Da-bo-dee-bo-da!" scat song.
:Given that he's already mentioned Beetlejuice, it's likely, but we'll need a direct reference to a specific episode rather than a vague description of one. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:29, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
Season 1 Episode 18, Quit while you're a head. I just looked up the episode on dailymotion. Skip to about the 22:00 mark.
