Cultural references
- Milhouse is seen watching the children's TV show Teletubbies (right) before switching to the movie commercial.
- The Bloodening is based on the horror films Children of the Corn and Children of the Damned.
- The scene where the kids take the different electronics through the fence parodies scenes from The Little Rascals, including Milhouse dressed as Alfalfa.
- The scene where people are running out of the movie theater is a clear reference to a scene from The Blob.
- The song near the end of the episode parodies the song "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie.
- Grampa's line, "We're gonna gonna teach you rugrats a lesson," may be a reference to the long-running Nickelodeon animated series Rugrats, but it's also possible that Grampa is using the word in its slang sense, as a pejorative term for children.
Trivia
- When the Gracie Films logo is shown in the closing sequence, when the woman says "Shh!", an old man shouts, "Don't tell me to shush, you stupid lady!" It's unknown whether the man is Grampa or Jasper.
Continuity
- Lisa is left-handed in this episode, despite normally being right-handed.
