Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Homage to 'Friday the 13th'
The entire setting and the nature of the Woodsman villain are a direct homage to the classic slasher film series 'Friday the 13th', which features the killer Jason Voorhees haunting a summer camp. The film adopts many horror tropes from the genre, such as chase scenes through the woods and a seemingly unstoppable masked antagonist.
Mystery Incorporated Musical Cue
During the final explanation of the mystery, the musical score briefly incorporates a theme from the 'Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated' television series. This is a nod from composer Robert J. Kral and producers Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone, who worked on both projects.
Dynamite Mistaken for a Candle
The classic cartoon trope of a character mistaking a stick of dynamite for a candle is used in the film. This is a common gag in animation history and a nod to the genre's slapstick roots.
