* FollowTheLeader: Chick took a dim view of pop culture in his tracts, but he was also savvy enough to jump on a trend's bandwagon from time to time, most famously with his anti-TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons tract "Dark Dungeons". "Bewitched?" opens with a TakeThat to the [[Series/{{Bewitched}} title show]] (though, oddly, earlier editions [[http://www.collinsporthistoricalsociety.com/2016/10/the-unsavory-jack-chickdark-shadows.html had Satan]] watching ''Series/DarkShadows'' instead). "Boo!" is a SlasherMovie takeoff. "The Nervous Witch" seems to have been inspired by ''[[Series/Charmed1998 Charmed]]'', with a character even saying "'''''Charmed''''', I'm sure," but he also shoehorned in a couple awkward references to Franchise/HarryPotter. "First Bite", with its teen vampire character, appears to be a riff on ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', with caricatures of characters from other places as well.
