* ''Literature/UniversalMonsters'': Invoked by the film-escapees, who tend to recreate aspects of their original films in the modern world in this series. Examples from specific books include:
** ''Dracula'':
*** In the original film, Dracula arrives in London on what seems to be [[GhostShip an abandoned ship]], having fed on and killed the crew. In book 1, he's first seen on a similarly abandoned ship, having again fed on the crew.
*** In the original film, Dracula's base in London was the abandoned Carfax Abbey. In book 1, his base in Florida is the abandoned Carfax Hotel. This gets lampshaded in book 2 when Joe, Captain Bob and Nina are recapping what they know about the first monster in the hopes of figuring out how to deal with the Wolf Man.
** ''The Wolf Man'':
*** In the original film, Larry Talbot has his fortune told by the gypsy Maleva, who sees the pentagram on Jenny (a friend of Larry's love interest)'s palm and tells Larry to leave her tent. Soon after, Larry saves a woman from a werewolf via beating it to death with a silver object (his cane) he bought to impress a woman, but is bitten and becomes another werewolf. In this book, Don Earl Abernathy has his fortune told by Wilma Winokea, an Ocala shaman, who sees a pentagram on his forehead and tells him to leave her tent. Soon after, Don Earl saves a woman from a werewolf via hitting and driving it off with a silver object (the belt buckle) that his girlfriend won earlier, but is likewise bitten and becomes a werewolf himself.
*** In the original film, Larry has come back to his father's home in Wales, Great Britain. In the book, the Wolf Man manifests in Wales, Florida. This gets lampshaded when the teens are putting the facts together.
** ''Frankenstein'':
*** In the original film, Fritz tries to steal a good brain, but drops and breaks it, so he takes a criminal brain instead. In ''Film/YoungFrankenstein'', Igor does the same, but claims the brain came from one "Abby Normal" (really "Abnormal"). Captain Bob does a deliberate ShoutOut to this when he explains that Fritz did the same thing all over again -- he claims the stolen brain came from a "De Viant". When Nina doesn't recognize the name and Captain Bob starts snickering, Nina catches on and even lampshades it -- "Fifty thousand comedians out of work and you think you're Creator/MelBrooks!"
** ''Creature from the Black Lagoon'':
*** While looking for the Gill Man, Joe, Captain Bob and their friend Skylar run across a house owned by a man, Ben Browning, whom they think might be the human form of the Gill Man. He's not ([[spoiler: in fact, he turns out to be Dr. Mark Williams -- also escaped from the film -- instead]]), but he shares the same name as Rico Browning, who played the Gill Man in its underwater scenes.
*** Near the end of the book, the characters suddenly realize that Rita Crockett shares her name with the boat that the film characters used to travel down the Amazon River.
** ''Bride of Frankenstein'':
*** Dr. Pretorius's assistant Karl has memories not only of his own life, but of Herr Frankenstein's hunchbacked assistant Fritz's. In real life, they were both played by the same actor, which Joe, Nina and Captain Bob mention.
*** At one point, Dr. Pretorius paraphrases one of his lines from the movie -- "To the world of gods and monsters!"[[note]]The original line was "To a new world of gods and monsters!"[[/note]]
*** [[spoiler: The adventure ends when the Bride rejects the Creature, prompting him to let the heroes escape before the mansion blows up, taking all the monsters and the two mad scientists with it, just as happened with the lab where the Bride was made in the movie.]]

* ''Literature/DemonCopperhead'' is a novel that is actually a WholePlotReference to Creator/CharlesDickens' ''Literature/DavidCopperfield''. This is acknowledged on a couple of occasions:
** Mr. Dick flies a kite on which he writes "Never be mean in anything. Never be false. Never be cruel. I can always be hopeful of you." These are words said by Betsey Trotwood to David in ''David Copperfield''.
** This is more overt later when teenaged Damon, who has mostly tuned out of high school, says he liked a book by...Charles Dickens.
-->...seriously old guy, dead and a foreigner, but Christ Jesus did he get the picture on kids and orphans getting screwed over and nobody giving a rat's ass. You'd think he was from around here.

In ''Series/{{UFO}}'', SHADO's FrontOrganisation was a movie company, because it meant they could save money by filming backstage at Pinewood Studios. In the book, SILOET's FrontOrganisation is the British TV and Film Corporation, based in Shepherd's Bush, meaning that if it was a real episode of 60s ''Series/DoctorWho'', they'd use Creator/TheBBC Television Centre for the same purposes.
