- Blossom Rock does not appear in this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- The camera pans back from a close-up of Thing's box on top of Lurch's harpsichord; without cutting, the shot widens and you can hear a dolly roll out from under the harpsichord to remove assistant director Jack Voglin from underneath it. He was providing his hand for Thing because Ted Cassidy was playing the harpsichord.
