The camera as the killer's point of view, crossing the street and looking at the facade of a house, is a tribute to the first scene of "Halloween." In addition, Daniel's wardrobe is a tribute to Laurie Strode's signature wardrobe in "Halloween".
The phone call between Daniel and his friend Darla is a tribute to the phone conversation that Alice and her friend have in the first minutes of "Halloween II". Even some dialogues are similar.
