In a brilliant nod to his own horror legacy, Wes Craven cameos as a janitor cleaning the school halls right before Principal Himbry is attacked. He is explicitly named "Fred" and is wearing the exact same iconic striped sweater as his most famous creation, Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. This self-aware Easter egg perfectly matches the meta-horror tone of the entire movie, rewarding fans of the genre with a legendary inside joke.
