    • In the pilot episode, "Rabbot" the paint on the wagon that spells out "Danger Cart #1" is green. In "Bus of the Undead," the paint is red.

    • The brownie monsters that reappear in "The Last One" are created in this episode, when Master Shake throws brownies into Frylock's cloner before they go on vacation.

    • The movie that Shake watches, "Assisted Living Dracula", is a short film directed by Jay Edwards. The "full" version of it can be viewed via an Easter Egg on one of the Volume 1 discs.
    • This episode marks the first appearance of the mystic jewel located in Frylock's back.
    • In this episode, the second-from-the-left of the four columns on the divider wall that are visible when a shot of the living room is shown, is not broken in any way. Later in this episode (and in many subsequent episodes after) in which it is visible, it will appear broken in various spots. However, in this episode it also appears in one piece but has a busted piece growing out of it in one scene.
    • The Master Shake Signal, its design scrim and the Master Shake flag all appear in this episode.
    • This is the first of many times that Carl dies or is killed, then appears fine in the next episode.
    • mothmonsterman is an imitation of mothman a strange creature reported in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West Virginia between November 1966 and December 1967. The creature was sporadically reported to be seen before and after those dates, with some sightings as recent as 2005.
    • This is the last episode featuring the Rabbot's hole, which had been continuous since the pilot.
    • Earlier in this episode Master Shake steals Carl's newspaper. While Shake is getting the holy water you can hear Carl saying "Where is my paper".
    • Master Shake: He's a reverse vampire! This phrase was first used by Lisa in "The Simpsons" episode 'Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy'.
    • When it first shows the living room the support beams seperating the living room from the kitchen are all fine, but the next time it shows it in the morning, one of them are broken. How could that be?
    • When the gang is returning from Memphis, the front door has been removed and is laid down on the frontyard but when they enter the house, the door is back to its normal position.
    • The Aqua Teen's house has been designed better on the outside.
    • The sign outside the tent over Dracula's grave says "Dracla's Grave" - with the missing U. This was not a mistake, this was thrown in to give off a sense of it being a fake sight.
