* [[People in Rubber Suits]] -- Shields—Shields and Fred are assigned to make a low-budget horror film about cat men, who are supposed to be played by people in crappy suits. They declare that "five men dressed like cats look like five men dressed like cats", and they make the film [[Nothing Is Scarier|without showing the monsters.]]

* [[Pretty in Mink]] -- At—At least one major fur in each flashback.
