Cultural references
- The Hodag is a monster of Wisconsin legend, first discovered by Eugene Simeon Shepard over a hundred years ago.[1]; Gene Shepherd is a parody of Eugene Simeon Shepard.
- A girl among the crowd, who Gene Shepherd talks to the crowd when first arrives in town, resembles Sari Sumdac from the animated series Transformers Animated, which lead character designer, Derrick J. Wyatt also worked on.
- The strange puzzle box and disembodied voice that accompany it in Sheriff Stone's office are a tribute to the Lemant configuration and Pinhead from the Hellraiser series.
- The name, Nova, is a reference to the mute human in the original Planet of the Apes film in 1968 (and its sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes).
- The spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp is parodied with cheese string between Scooby and Nova.
- Jason Voorhees' hockey mask can be seen in the Cabinet of Curiosities.
- The name of the cheese shop "Something Cheesy This Way Comes" is a play on the Shakespeare quote Something Wicked This Way Comes which also serves as the title of Ray Bradbury's novella about a nightmarish carnival visiting a small town.
- The Cabinet of Curiosities references the 1920 silent German expressionist cult horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- When Velma asks Mr. Shepherd why he came to Crystal Cove, her glasses are skin-colored instead of light blue.
