Line 12:
{{quote|'''Orlock:''' ''(suffering from [[Hangover Sensitivity]])'' Why did you yell?!
'''Sammy:''' I was having a nightmare and I woke up next to Byron Orlock!
'''Orlock:''' ''(sourly)'' Very funny. }}
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Both [[Boris Karloff]] and the character he's playing, Byron Orlock. Karloff was a nice guy in [[Real Life]] (and he even worked on this film for free when it ran over the two days he owed Corman), and Orlock is pretty much the same.
** {{spoiler|He also proves to be a [[Badass Grandpa]] at the end, when he finally comes face-to-face with the sniper: he walks straight into the line of fire, uses '''''his cane''''' [[Cane Fu|to knock the gun away]] and brings the young whipper-snapper [[Villainous BSOD|to his knees]] with a few well-placed slaps.}}
* [[Crapsack World]]: One of Orlock's reasons for retiring is that the ''real world'' is becoming more horrifying than the scary movies he made. Considering how Thompson's shooting spree ''was'' based on the real-life Whitman shootings, he's depressingly correct.
* [[Drive-In Theater]]: Where the climax of the film takes place.
Line 32:
* [[Stealth Insult]]:
{{quote|'''[[Dumbass DJ|Kip Larkin]]:''' Mr. O, I must have dug your flicks like four zillion times! You ''blew my mind!''<br />
'''[[Deadpan Snarker|Orlock]]:''' Obviously. }}
* [[Vietnam War]]: Thompson is an early veteran of the war.
