Trivia

This is the last "Treehouse of Horror" to date with a couch gag.
When Ned got attacked by the wolf in the bushes, his cries sound awfully feminine - possibly a reference to "Bart of Darkness", in which his girlish squeal was confused for Maude's.
After transforming into a werewolf, Ned still says "Diddly" after growling.
"Life's a glitch, then you die" is a reference to the phrase "Life's a bitch, then you die."
"Desperately Xeeking Xena" coined the term "A wizard did it".
Moe's phone call was a reference to the movie Scream referring to having a poor excuse for a plot hole.
Homer tells the guard of the rocket that he is the piano genius from the movie Shine and that his name is Shiney McShine (the name he should have used is David Helfgott).
The first part of this episode is a parody of the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer.
The third segment parodied the Y2K panic as well as When Worlds Collide.
The band playing at New Year's Rockin' Eve is actually Ratt according to the drumset, though the band members thought they were either Quiet Riot, Poison or Whitesnake.

After Homer makes Maude believe Ned had a heart attack, he says "And that's the end of that chapter" - the catchphrase of Homer Simpson on Police Cops in "Homer to the Max".

When Homer pokes the supposedly dead Flanders, he pokes him through the glass of his spectacles.

The episode was released on The Simpsons.com with the "Itchy and Scratchy Land", "Das Bus" and "Homer Goes to College". According to the eBay information it has, "Homer to the Max" was on it, but in real life, "Homer to the Max" was not included on it all.

Along with every other "Treehouse of Horror" episode up to "XVI", this episode aired as part of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Mania.
