* ShamSupernatural: Played for laughs in a nod to the then-current RomanticVampireBoy craze. Sam and Dean investigate a string of kidnappings of young women suspected to be vampire activity. The first target they go after turns out to be a regular teenage boy who dresses up as a vampire to pick up girls. (In Sam and Dean's defense, this turns out to be the ''actual'' vampires' M.O. as well.)

* BlandNameProduct: Several ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''-inspired posters are seen in the show but none actually infringe on Stephenie Meyer's copyright. The closest it gets is a horrified Dean comparing himself to "[[Creator/RobertPattinson Pattinson]]".

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The episode parodies ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' with characters copying Edward and Bella. The vampires are exploiting the RomanticVampireBoy craze to lure in new victims, so "Robert" is really a BitchInSheepsClothing who immediately passes her on to his vampire buddies, while "Kristen" is a BrainlessBeauty who is forced to write cheesy harlequin romance on the head vampire's orders and is all but stated to have become his SexSlave.



* {{Expy}}: The vampire Robert and the human girl Kristen are blatant Expies of [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Edward and Bella]] and their actors, ''Robert and Kristen''.

* FindTheCure: Samuel reveals that there's an "old Campbell recipe" which can cure vampirism, but only ''if'' the vampire is newly-turned and hasn't yet fed on blood. The hardest ingredients for them to obtain -- blood from the vampire who turned Dean -- requires Dean to infiltrate the vampire nest and kill Boris.
