9	* Doors very like the ones in this cartoon show up in ''Film/ForbiddenZone''. Squeezit is punched when he opens one of them, and two devils come out of another to take him to Music/DannyElfman's Devil.
10	* The cartoon itself appears in the "It's A Good Life" segment in ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie''.

13	* The music video for "Ghost of Stephen Foster" by Music/SquirrelNutZippers is based on this and several other Betty Boop shorts and includes references such as the spiral staircase scene.
14
15	[[AC:Video Games]]
16	* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'': The ConveyorBeltODoom in Pip and Dot's boss battle that pulls you toward a spiked wall is a reference to when Bimbo is faced with a similar trap.
17	* ''VideoGame/MickeyMania'', of all games, has a spiral staircase segment in WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor level that's strikingly reminiscient of the one featured in this short, complete with 3D rotation and rickety floorboards.

19	[[AC:WebAnimation]]
20	* ''WebAnimation/OllieAndScoops'': In "Old Crumplecranks" (which already references many other Fleischer cartoons), the shot where Poopsie and Rudy slide down the "Deadcat Ditch" is framed in the same way Bimbo slides down the corridor into the axe-filled room.

22	[[AC:Western Animation]]
23	* The scenes where the door gobbles Bimbo, he is terrified to see his shadow's head chopped off and where his heart leaps out from his throat and he swallows it were copied in the climax of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' episode "[[Recap/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E54Robotnikland Robotnikland]]". Robotnik and Grounder are seen only experiencing the first one while Scratch experiences all three.
24	* A brief clip from the short is played in the ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' special "Wrath of the Spider Queen" as the titular character is digging through Grim's memories.
