I was watching the episode Playthings when I came up for the idea for this blog post. The Hotel bar, mostly but also other things, at Pierpont Inn reminded me very much of the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Of course it's intentional since Kripke is an evil master mind. Most of SPN is stealings from others work after all. ;)
The Shining...:
...vs SPN:
The end scene from Nightshifter, when the boys get out of the bank, reminds me of how Leon plans to get out of the building in Luc Besson's Leon: The Professional. Of course the boys have better luck than Leon.
Leon...:
...vs SPN:
Hope they kept that SWAt gear. Could get handy at some point.
Then there's the Benders, the episode with the crazy hillbilly cannibals . It's probably inspired by The Hills Have Eyes or something. Haven't seen that movie in ages. But for me it makes me think of Torchwoods Countrycide.
SPN...:
...vs Torchwood:
There are of course loads of references to other movies and TV shows in Supernatural. These were just some I thought of right now. Let me know if you know a scene that reminds you of something else. :)
OK... should have been 14 days left. Gulp... only 2 weeks... O.O

That scene in Playthings was definitely a page from The Shinning and I recognized it immediately. I am not familiar with the other movie you showed but they did have similar feel to it.
Thanks for the comparison. It is cool to compare cool movies with SPN episodes. \o/

I haven't seen the Shinning :P I do know about it though.
