 -  The image of Freddy on the talk show waving his arms around with the spotlight behind him is a direct reference to the super-famous shot virtually identical to this in the news-room scene after the news-reel plays in Kane. The room is dark except for a single strong light which streams in from the window, and there is a shot of the reporter where the light is directly behind him and he displaces it as he movies his arms, just like in New Nightmare.
Vargtimmen (1968)
 -  The wall crawling scene
The Omen (1976)
 -  The child being suspicious, having visions, being something to fear (Heather's freaky dreams about the kid and the kid's creepy performance) all reference Damien in Omen.
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
 -  The scene where Dylan falls off the play equipment is a reference to the famous scene in KvsK where Ted and Margaret are sitting on a bench at the park not watching their kid, and shots of them talking are intercut with shots of the kid climbing the play equipment and the conversation of the pair applies both to what they're talking about and to what the kid is doing. The woman notices the kid is about to fall and runs to catch him.
