Movie References

I was just wondering if anybody else noticed the movie references. 

The ones I've noticed:

1. In the sewers where the zombies start in Peachy Disrtict turf takeover, there's a single red balloon coming out of a sewer grate. A reference to Stephen King's It.

2. When the zombies win at Peachy District turf takeover, a black and white zombie slowly crawls out of a television. A reference to the ending of The Ring.

3. Weirding Woods has a location named Camp Near-A-Lake. Possibly a reference to Camp Crystal Lake from Friday the 13th.

4. Weirding Woods the Lullaby Song played to put's Deadwood to Sleep. (This may just be me.) It sounds suspiciously similar to the song The Lonely Shepherd from the Kill Bill soundtrack 

Have you noticed any other possible nods, references, or Easter eggs referring to movies, tv, or something else?

  • There is also a blue and white truck that can be found in various locations that say's "Plumb and Plumber. All Clogs Go To Heaven." This is reference to the movies Dumb & Dumber and All Dogs Go To Heaven. The All Dogs Go To Heaven reference might also be a double reference to the fact that the main characters in Dumb & Dumber ride around in a dog shaped van for the majority of the movie. 

  • The stores that can be found in various locations named Day Of The Meds. A reference to zombie movie classic Day Of The Dead.

  • In Weirding Woods at the Z-Tech Factory, there's a character who named Tim who is a wizard. (It is unconfirmed that he is a wizard, but his design lines up with wizards in PvZ 2.) A reference to Tim the wizard in Monty Python's The Holy Grail.

  • Another reference to the movie Dumb and Dumber can be found on a sign with a crescent roll reading "Crumb and Crumber."

  • On the turf takeover map Peachy District, there is a museum with a dinosaur skeleton emerging from it. The museum closely resembles the town hall in the movie Back to the Future. The reference becomes even more clear from the time on the large clock at the center top of the build, which appears to read 10:04. This is the same time the town hall is struck by lightning in Back to the Future.

  • @newbebop Town Center (Plants)'s Plumbing Gig medal & Garden Ops' Elite Yeti King has you wield Plungjolnir (name may be spelled wrong), a plunger obviously based after Thor's hammer Mjolnir in Marvel comics, films, etc.
