When Slappy is seen in the basement, his head is completely different. This is because this is the mask used by the actress that was Slappy in "Night of the Living Dummy III". It was used on a dummy double when Jillian bangs Slappy's head on the work table after he bites her, to keep the dummy's head from cracking.
Three of the dummy heads used from "Night of the Living Dummy III" appear in this story. The broken, severed heads of Slappy's "rivals" in Jimmy O'James' home are the heads of the Rocky and Zane dummies. The damaged, severed dummy head near the end is the head from when Mr. O'Dell tries to glue Slappy's right eye back on his cracked face.
When Katie and Harrison are watching a scary movie, clips from "Scarecrow Walks At Midnight" and "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" are shown onscreen.
Aired on Valentine's Day of 1998 to fit the theme. Slappy and Rocky appeared in new themed footage for when commercial breaks began and ended.
When Jillian goes to return Slappy to Jimmy, she is first seen standing behind a gate. As the gate lifts up, you can see that someone had written in black paint 'Don't worry, be happy,' but someone had taken red paint and had written 'SL' over the 'H' so the message now read 'Don't worry, be Slappy'.
