Sventoonie debuts a new look in this episode, with a better-fitting, yellow-trimmed costume (with a white fishbone lapel ornament, instead of red), a more groomed mustache and goatee, and neater touches of ghoulish makeup. After two shows using the makeshift Svengoolie outfit that he'd worn on Toon in with Me (2021), Toony/Sventoonie seems to have taken Svengoolie's advice from the debut episode, Knock, Knock... Who Dares?! (2022), and gotten a better costume.
First appearance of Trevor Ground ("Dead Video Store Guy", played by Steven Fleming), an undead employee of defunct 1980s video rental chain Tombstone Video. Not realizing that he's been dead for over thirty years, Trevor shows up to retrieve the overdue VHS tape of Créature (1985) that Svengoolie apparently forgot to return to the store in 1989.
This episode reunites Kevin Fleming with his frequent comedy collaborators and former Sports Action Team (2006) and The Venue (2012) co-stars Steven Fleming (Trevor Ground), Katie Nahnsen (Carol from FutureSpaceNetDyne), and Al Samuels (credited as a contributing writer).
When Sventoonie breaks the news to Trevor Ground that he's been dead for over thirty years, the Daily News newspaper headline reads, "Yawn of the Dead! Doofus Dozes in Video Store Bulldozing". (Trevor says that his last memory is of taking a nap in the Tombstone Video store, which Sventoonie says was bulldozed after the store closed down.)
Trevor Ground shows a supposed comedic movie trailer for Créature (1985), edited to market it as a teen romp in the style of 1980s John Hughes films.
