Dean: Nice job, Dr. Venkman

Dr. Venkman is a character from the 1984 movie, Ghostbusters.
 
Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?

The same urban legend occured in the movie Urban Legends, in which a college student arrives back to her dorm late, seeing her roommate sleeping, so she doesn't turn on the light. When she awakes the next morning, she finds her roommate brutally murdered, and written in her blood on the wall reads "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" A few other urban legends that occured in this episode also appeared in the movie, however, they were adjusted a bit during the episode.
 
 
Analysis
 
Hook Man

The tale of the Hook Man is portrayed very accurately in this episode. During the plot, the Hook Man targets men that were connected to a minister's daughter. In most variations of the story, the Hook Man goes after lovers usually in a car on lover's lane. Though Sam and Dean race to find the Hook Man's bones in order to destroy it, a way to get rid of the Hook Man is rarely specified in the story.
