** The mentioning of the scenes where the killer kills the couple making out, the fact that the supposed killer is the camp's cook, the scene where Duncan throws various items at the killer, who isn't affected by them at all, Duncan confronting the killer near the lake and defeating the killer using the killer's own weapon all come from ''Film/FridayThe13th1980''. Additionally the movie being watched in the beginning looks similar to the movie.

** Most of the concept of the episode appears is be tied to ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' in its concepts and jokes:
* ** The hockey mask worn by the killer (both Chef and the real one) is an obvious homage to Jason Voorhees, with such details as the red markings on the sides.
The setting of both the film and Total Drama Island being at a summer camp.
Both Chef and the actual killer imitate the peculiar "breathing" done by Jason before he attacks his victims, as well as his habit of chanting words before the kill.
The mentioning of the scenes where the killer kills the couple making out is a parody of when Mrs. Voorhees kills Barry Jackson and Claudette Hayes at the beginning of the original movie.
The scene in which Duncan throws various items at the killer is a parody of the original movie in which the main character Alice throws many objects at Mrs. Voorhees, who isn't affected by them at all. In addition, Duncan confronts the killer near the lake similar to the final confrontation between Alice and Mrs. Voorhees. Finally, Duncan, like Alice, defeats the killer using the killer's own weapon.
The idea of Chef impersonating a masked killer is similar to Roy Burns in Friday the 13th part V who impersonates Jason.
The fact that the supposed killer is Chef Hatchet, who is the camp's cook, is similar to how the killer in the original Friday the 13th (Pamela Voorhees) used to be the cook at Camp Crystal Lake.
Also, the movie that the campers were watching looks similar to the original Friday the 13th movie (although Jason Voorhees doesn't appear until the second movie).
Other prominent parodies of horror movies include:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The chainsaw is a reference to the signature weapon of the series. In addition, the outfit worn by both killers, most prominently the dirty apron, is similar to the outfit commonly worn by the main killer of this series, Leatherface.
Halloween: The concept of a mentally unstable killer escaping prison could be a reference to Michael Myers, the main killer of this series. Similarly, the scene where Gwen is in the lodge where the real killer appears is similar to the scene Loomis and Michael meet in the fourth movie.
This is the first episode to reference a John Carpenter film, Halloween. The next two are "The Sand Witch Project" (Total Drama Action) and "The EX-Files" (Total Drama World Tour).
Psycho: Heather being attacked in the bathroom while taking a shower is an obvious homage to the infamous shower scene from this film with the infamous music playing.
I Know What You Did Last Summer: The killer's hook is a homage to the hook worn by Ben Willis.
Sleepaway Camp: Very much like the original Friday the 13th, the movie takes place in a summer camp.
Scream: Gwen's speech on how to survive may also be a nod to Randy Meeks' speech on the various rules to survive a horror movie including the rule of couples making out alone being the first to die
The part where Owen exclaims "Great balls of fire!" could be a reference to the a song by Jerry Lee Lewis , "Great Balls of Fire."
Duncan's confessional before he faces off with the "killer" is a reference to The Untouchables
Gwen's position as the final survivor to face the killer fulfills the "Final Girl" trope, such as:
Alice from the original Friday the 13th.
Nancy Thompson from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Laurie Strode from Halloween.
Sidney Prescott from Scream.
The contestants being unaware a challenge is in progress combined with the way Chris watches from the monitors is similar to the television prank show Punk'd. Heather and Owen both directly reference it by saying Chris "punked" them.
