Line #37 ShoutOut/DeadByDaylight


1	A list of [[ShoutOut references to other media]] in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight''.
2	----
3	* The Spirit's real name, Rin Yamaoka, is a shout out to the composer of the first five games in the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' series, Music/AkiraYamaoka.
4	* The quote for one of the perks, Plunderer's Instinct, is [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants "The pioneers used to loot these babies for hours."]]
5	* The Plague's bright green [[VomitIndiscretionShot projectile vomit]] is very similar to the infamous scene from ''Film/TheExorcist''.
6	* Feng Min's eSports team are the Lazer Bears, a reference to ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'', one of Behaviour's older games.
7	* The Deathslinger has several little traits that point to one game in particular. He has a wide-brimmed hat, he uses a gun, he has a slightly old-west feel to him, he's driven by revenge, and most tellingly, his name is Caleb. The similarity to {{VideoGame/Blood}} is uncanny.
8	* David King's perk, "We're Gonna Live Forever", takes its name from the lyrics of the song "Live Forever" by a rock band from [[UsefulNotes/FootballPopMusicAndFlatCaps Manchester]], Music/{{Oasis}}.
9	* On the main menu, with [[Franchise/SilentHill Pyramid Head]] selected and visible on the screen, inputting the KonamiCode will unlock a charm of Vic Viper from ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''.
10	* On the topic of Franchise/SilentHill, Midwich Elementary School has a few Shout-Outs to the level in the first Silent Hill game, such as the girl crying in the bathroom stalls, and the jumpscare of a corpse falling out of a locker in one of the classrooms.
11	** Pyramid Head's Mori has a brief reference to the way he can attack James in VideoGame/SilentHill2, wherein he grabs the Survivor by the throat before lifting them in the air.
12	* The way some of the survivors ended up being abducted by the Entity by way of getting lost in the woods, and the implication that it tampered with the geography so that even people who put down trails (Claudette) or have actually lived in these woods (Jake) can't find their way back is very reminiscent of [[Film/TheBlairWitchProject the Blair Witch]].
13	* During the Tome VII event, [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Gnome]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 Chompski]] can be found during the Endgame Collapse, allowing players to stomp on him for a new Charm (though they then have to survive the collapse).
14	* The Fold, the {{Main/Cult}} formed by Otto Stamper that ultimately resulted in the birth of [[EldritchAbomination The Dredge]], contains elements similar to [[UsefulNotes/JimJones Jonestown]]. A group of disillusioned people were brought together to land isolated from the outside world, tempted by the promise of forming a utopia free of negative and dark thoughts. The group's leader controls every aspect of his followers' lives, prohibiting any type of negative thoughts. A person from the outside arrives and attempts to reveal the truth about the leader to the followers, only to be killed. The half-crazed followers are pushed to the breaking point by the leader, resulting in everyone ending up dead. The only difference is that Stamper survives the incident (though he does end up getting killed by Herman Carter later on).
15	* One of Ash's line's in the menu is, "[[Series/Alice1976 Kiss my grits!]]"
16	* A couple in The Ghost Face's tome:
17	** The three teenagers that Danny [[spoiler:murders for parodying him]] discuss [[Film/{{Scream}} working together to make their own Ghost Face design after taking inspiration from slasher movies]].
18	** One of the other killers that Danny finds a caricature of is called [[Film/MyBloodyValentine "The Miner"]].
19	* One of The Unknown's voice lines (intended to lure victims) is asking [[Film/Predator2 "you want some candy?"]].
20	** Another is "[[WebVideo/WinterOf83 Can you help me lift this?]]".
21	* One of Sable Ward's pre-game lobby lines is "[[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz I feel like Dorothy. Except no dog and no flying house.]]"
22
23	[[folder:Skins/Outfits]]
24	* One Dwight outfit gives him a white and red striped hoodie, the name of said outfit being [[Literature/WheresWally "Where's Dwighty?"]].
25	* The description for Feng Min's Alien Sci-Fi Coat features the quote "[[Film/{{Aliens}} Game over, man! Game over!]]".
26	* The name of the collection of David's tank-top fighter outfits is ''Film/FightClub''.
27	** Further solidifying this is the quote featured in the Pugilist version of the outfit: "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
28	* The description for Kate's Small Town Girl outfit includes the phrase [[Music/JourneyBand "Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world."]]
29	* The Hag's Sapling Siren outfit bears a striking resemblance to a [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs Clicker]].
30	* The description for the Doctor's Bloody Business Suit includes "[[Music/FlightOfTheConchords It's business. It's business time.]]"
31	* The description for Dwight's Snake Oil Merchant outfit includes "[[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Do you suffer from rheumatism? Lumbago? Acute, chronic, sciatic, neurologic, or inflammatory pain?]]"
32	* The description for Adam's Flat-Top head includes "[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Cut to show that you're more Will than Carlton.]]"
33	* The descriptions for the Death/Doom Engravings add-ons for Billy's chainsaw include "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Fills the user with determination.]]"
34	* The Valentine's Day collection outfits for The Nurse and The Wraith are clearly based off ''[[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera The Phantom of the Opera]].''
35	* The Deathslinger's "Double-Crossed" skin bears some resemblance to Col. Douglas Mortimer's black suit of ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore''.
36	* Found on Jake's "Scar and Goatee" ([[VideoGame/Left4Dead Francis]]) head: "A face fit for a legendary bar fight. What the hell is a [[VideoGame/HalfLife lambda]]?"
37	* Dredge's "Twisted Plaything" prominently features a [[Franchise/ChildsPlay doll head with red hair and blue eyes]] in the center of its left arm.
38	* The Knight's "Enchanted Plate" cosmetic has [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim an arrow in its knee]].
39	* Creator/NicolasCage 's Gorgon Drip outfit features a [[Film/WildAtHeart familiar]] snakeskin jacket.
