  • The title G-G-Ghost D-D-Dad is a reference to the movie Ghost Dad
  • All the ways that Homer is almost killed is similar to deaths in the Final Destination series
  • The following fairy tale creatures made an appearance in "Scary Tales Can Come True": Rapunzel, Troll under the Bridge, 3 Bears, Goldilocks, and the Witch from Hansel and Gretel

  • This is the second Halloween episode in a row (third in all, if you count Treehouse of Horror VII) with the third segment ending in the world doomed.
