5'''Tagline:''' Nostalgiaween begins with a cult classic that no one understands why it’s a cult classic.
6
7!!This review provides examples of:
8* ActorAllusion: {{Invoked|Trope}} -- when [[Creator/LaurenceFishburne Captain Miller]] first appears and does some flat exposition, the Critic starts to wonder if ''Event Horizon'' is actually a really bad prequel to ''Film/TheMatrix''.
9* CustomUniform: In the spirit of Nostalgiaween, the Critic has jack-o'-lanterns patched all over his coat.
10* FollowTheLeader: To his irritation, the Critic shows how many scenes from ''Film/{{Alien}}'' this movie ripped off.
11* {{Hell}}: The devil moves it to the Critic's ass. MakesAsMuchSenseInContext.
12* NoHoldsBarredBeatDown: Tamara and Malcolm deliver one to the Critic, after seeing fire come out of his ass, with a pipe wrench and hammer, respectively.
13* ShoutOut:
14** Nostalgiaween 2015's opening credits spoofs that of ''Series/Goosebumps1995'', complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong.
15** At the sight of Justin touching black goo at the heart of the titular ship, the Critic warns him of what happened when [[Film/SpiderMan3 Peter Parker did the same]] (i.e., get an emo haircut and do an awkward dance number).
