Scene: Dean chops down a door and his face is framed in the hole.

This is a visual reference to the 1980 horror film, The Shining. One of its most famous scenes is Jack Nicholson's face in the door he chopped up with an axe.

Dean: I mean first you tell me that you've got The Shining.

This is an allusion to the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. Dean is comparing Sam to the character of Danny Torrance, who had a gift of clairvoyance and telepathy. The film was based on the 1977 book by Stephen King of the same title, though the screenplay changed the story in several ways.

Dean: Any of this blowing up your skirt?

While looking for their next job at the beginning of the episode, Dean says this to Sam when he realizes Sam isn't paying attention. It is likely a reference to Marilyn Monroe, who is famous for her scene in which her dress is being blown up by a vent she is standing on.

Dean: Missouri did her whole Zelda Rubinstein thing...

This is in reference to the 1982 movie Poltergeist, in which Zelda Rubinstein played the part of the clairvoyant named Tangina Barrons.
