Cultural references

• The title is a likely reference to At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft.
• Smokey Bear's Catchphrase Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires is satirized as being ambiguous.
• The "political powers" Mr. Burns hallucinates seeing are Mao Zedong, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Mahatma Gandhi and Ramses.

Continuity

• While trapped in the cabin and slowly going mad, Mr. Burns begins thinking that Homer wants to kill him so he can ride his corpse down the mountain to safety. Homer does just that in "King of the Hill", where he rides the frozen corpse of C.W. McAllister down the Murderhorn.

Goofs

• In a zoom out of the control panel, the 'Fire Drill' and 'Blimp Attack' buttons are swapped.
• Mr. Burns fires Lenny at the end of the episode. However, Mr. Burns stated the last team would be fired, so Carl should have been fired as well.
