Episode connections

 * D.W. is still scared of octopuses, as revealed in "."
 * D.W. gets the hiccups in "Arthur vs. the Piano," which has a similar ending gag.
 * Halloween also takes place in the one-hour special "Arthur and the Haunted Tree House". As such, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Mr. and Mrs. Read all have the same costumes.

Errors

 * When discussing D.W.'s fears, she says she has never seen Dark Bunny, but heard it's "scary." However, in "That's a Baby Show!" she says she watched it the day before and it scared her.

Production notes

 * In the title card, D.W.'s dress is colored orange and Arthur's pants are colored green. This is because the episode takes place on Halloween and orange and green are colors commonly related to the holiday.
