Moments before he's killed, we see Principal Himbry skulking around his office, at which point Craven ensures to include a few sly references to Henry Winkler's career-making role of The Fonz on the hit TV series Happy Days.

For starters, after goofing around by wearing the Ghostface mask, he stops to fuss around with his hair in a distinctly similar fashion to The Fonz, and when he opens up his closet a minute later, eagle-eyed viewers might notice the character's distinctive black leather jacket hanging up on the left-hand side.

Honestly, how could you cast Winkler in a meta comedy and resist a gag like this?
