Line 8: {{tropelist}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Of a sort. Sally Shine, obvious parody of Shirley Temple, is played by Lindsay Ridgeway. This isn't the only time Lindsay played a Shirley Temple [[Expy]] - in fact, the same year this movie was made she was the singing voice for Darla Dimple (in which Shirley Temple meets [[Enfant Terrible]]) in ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]''. * [[California Doubling]]: Weird, albeit justified, example. Most of the scenes involving the hotel were filmed at the actual attraction in Disney World, which was the only version of the ride in existence at the time. Thus, although the movie is set and mostly filmed in [[Los Angeles]], it switches to Florida whenever anyone gets close to the tower. Fortunately, Florida and southern California have a similar climate and the area around the attraction was made up to look like Hollywood anyway. The Florida scenes were filmed first, in case you were wondering. * [[The Cassandra]]: No one believed Abigail about what happened {{spoiler\|which is good, because she was lying}}. * [[Children Are Innocent]]: Sally repeatedly shows this quality time and time again. By the end of the movie it becomes something of a plot point, and in the end {{spoiler\|breaks the curse.}} Line 32 ⟶ 31: * [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Though it is magic lightning, so... * [[Motive Rant]]: {{spoiler\|Abigail}} gives one at the end, about {{spoiler\|how everyone loved her sister but didn't care about her, and how her perceived [[Forgotten Birthday]] was the last straw. Her rant gets derailed when the ghost of her sister, the person who loved her the most, shows up in person.}} * [[Next Sunday ADA.D.]]: The movie was released in 1997, but took place in 1999. Either that or the characters are rounding up when they refer to 1939 as "sixty years ago". * [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Sally Shine is quite obviously [[Shirley Temple]]. * [[Non Sequitur Thud]] Line 39 ⟶ 38: * [[Recursive Adaptation]]: This is the best ever [[Overly Narrow Superlative\|TV movie based on a theme park ride based on a TV show]]. * [[Room Full of Crazy\|Trunk Full Of Crazy]]: {{spoiler\|Abigail has a trunk filled with photos of Sally with her face slashed out, decapitated/mangled Sally dolls, and "I HATE SALLY" written all over the place in red.}} * [[Shirley Template]]: Sally Shine is a Temple-esque 1930s child actress. * [[The Unfavorite]]: {{spoiler\|Abigail to Sally, or so she thought}}. * [[Unfinished Business]]: The ghosts can't leave until {{spoiler\|they reach the party on the top floor}}.
