Crosswicking Go To Sleep A Jeff The Killer Rewrite
Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/GoToSleepAJeffTheKillerRewrite'':
** Jeff is a big fan of horror films, and has seen all the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' movies. Throughout the story, he's worn a ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' shirt, a Michael Myers shirt, and [[RuleOfThree finally]] a jersey of his favourite slasher, Jason Voorhees, as part of his Halloween costume, with the Jason goalie mask.
** A senior student warns Jeff of Randy by referring to ''Music/RobZombie'''s take on ''{{Franchise/Halloween}}'' (since Jeff is wearing the appropriate shirt to suggest that he's seen it), comparing Randy to that of a young Michael Myers from those films.
---> '''Senior student''': It’s pretty much the same situation. Abusive father, whore mother, unstable home and siblings. Yeah, it’s a cliche but it happens in real life. [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals It's rumored that he kills animals just for the fun of it.]]
** When Randy catches Jeff wielding a hockey stick to defend himself against him, he mockingly asks if he's "trying to be [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Casey Jones]] or something".
