Trivia & References
The episode title “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” is a reference to the 1982 movie of the same name. In this film, Steve Martin interacts with (now dead) stars of 40s and 50s noir movies through use of clips from their movies.
Interestingly, this technique was used in a 2009 episode of the television show Medium, in which Alison DuBois interacts with characters from the classic 1968 zombie movie Night of the Living Dead.
Dean and Sam use the aliases " Agents Dorfman and Neidermeyer” a reference the characters of Kent Dorfman and Douglas Neidermeyer from the 1978 John Belushi movie National Lampoon's Animal House
The opening image of the hand rising from the grave recalls an image from Night of the Living Dead.
Digger: heads up, Fargo.
Fargo was a 1996 Coen Brothers movie. The reference here is to the character of Sheriff Marge Gunderson, played by Frances McDormand.
