Probably due to a rights issue, The Wizard of Oz is the only film in this portion of the countdown that does not have clips shown from it; only stills are shown.
Stuart Gordon reveals that after a burn-related injury, Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz) returned to the set and refused to film a scene involving fire. Her stunt double did the scene instead, and the entire room exploded.
Through the interviews, it is revealed that much is visually hidden in Dracula (1931) because it was adapted from a Broadway play.
Jennifer Tilly reveals that Brad Dourif's inspiration for the voice of killer doll, Chucky, comes from Jack Nicholson. Brad Dourif worked with Jack Nicholoson in the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
