History ShoutOut / ProvenGuilty

* Molly cites the [[TheBible The Parable of the Talents]] to Charity. Harry cites StanLee and ''SpiderMan'' as a more concise way of saying the same thing.

* Harry says he'd prefer a RogerCorman flick to Darby Crane's ''Harvest'' films.

* Harry is unpleasantly reminded of RudyardKipling's "The Female Of The Species" when [[spoiler: Charity sees Molly come out of Harry's hotel bathroom, freshly showered]].
* The strain of holding his detection-web in place for hours makes Harry so weary that his hotel room feels like a toned-down MCEscher painting.

* Murphy mentions {{Dumbo}}'s MagicFeather while discussing magic with Harry.

** Finding that [[spoiler: somebody else already attacked the place]], Murphy makes a "ThreeLittlePigs" reference.

The eighth novel of ''TheDresdenFiles'' finds even the ''monsters'' getting in on the ShoutOut game, as a plague of fear-eating fae shapechangers assault a horror-movie convention. But with black magic afoot in Chicago, the creatures are after more than just mortals' terror, and Harry may find his own Council just as dangerous as any splatter-flick scaremonger:

* Harry doubts that Mab could be acting erratic as Lily claims, citing how {{Shakespeare}} called her "constant as the northern star".

* Molly's littlest sister Hope is nicknamed "[[TheHobbit Hobbit]]".
** As a group, Molly still calls her young siblings "[[StarWars Jawas]]".

* Molly asks Harry if there's mud on her boots, and he points out that it hardly matters considering she'd dressed like {{Frankenhooker}}.

* The phobophages mostly take on the role of generic horror movie monsters. One, however, is quite obviously the Xenomorph from ''{{Alien}}''. Others are {{Captain Ersatz}}es of Jason, Chucky, and {{Pumpkinhead}}.

* [[TheVentureBrothers "Go team Dresden/Murphy!"]]

* Looking up from Little Chicago, Harry sees his own body looming over the miniature city like {{Godzilla}}.

* The tiny drug-hungry mouths Harry's Sight reveals on Rosie's arms are a visual ShoutOut to the third ''ANightmareOnElmStreet'', in which ex-junkie Taryn's arms developed similar orifices when Freddy confronted her.

** The ''Suburban Slasher'' film series, featuring [[{{Expy}} the Reaper]], are a ''very'' thinly-disguised lawyer-friendly version of the ''FridayTheThirteenth'' film franchise, complete with hockey mask, ten sequels, and DeathBySex.
** Fighting the Xenomorph, Harry quotes ''{{Aliens}}'' repeatedly:

* Discussing the Black Council with Ebenezar, Harry quips that it's a better name for them than the [[{{Superfriends}} Legion of Doom]].

* Harry jokes with Michael that maybe he should [[KingArthur stick ''Fidelacchius'' in a big rock and leave it on the White House lawn]].

* Molly cites the [[TheBible The Parable of the Talents]] to Charity. Harry cites StanLee and ''SpiderMan'' as a more concise way of saying the same thing.

* Faced with an awkward social encounter, Harry longs to [[CartoonPhysics conjure a hole, hide inside, and pull it in after himself]], like BugsBunny. He quotes Bugs's "left turn at Albequerque" CatchPhrase.

* Harry agrees with Fix that the White Council is conducting its war too defensively, saying that [[TheStrategist Clausewitz]] would feel the same about it.

* Harry agrees with Fix that the White Council is conducting its war too defensively, saying that [[TheStrategist Clausewitz]] would agree with them.

* Arctis Tor is like the Tower of London, the [[{{Superman}} Fortress of Solitude]], Fort Knox and Alcatraz combined.

* Busting into the fetch-occupied movie theater, Harry announces: [[TheyLive "And I'm all outta bubble gum!"]]
