Grace Van Dien plays the character who is heavily inspired by the 80s movies.
And even her costume, down to her very hairstyle, shows how much detail the

Since the first season of the show, you can always point out movie references
such as Jaw, Alien, and even The Exorcist. These inspirations, however, could

But in the fourth record-breaking season

we get to see a whole character’s hairstyle getting inspiration from another
iconic character. For Chrissy Cunningham‘s bangs, the hair and costume
department referred to the inanely popular 1974 film Grease.

The famous cheerleader bangs were first seen on Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy. In
the original film, Sandy wears the iconic look with bangs for the most part of
the film until the very end. And Chrissy, too, has bangs, at least until Vecna
kills her.
