Raven: You know something honey? If I had a dollar for everytime you stood in the mirror admiring your face I could get off the streets and retire to the Bahamas. (edit) [Opening wraparound segment]
The Crypt Keeper: [wiping a mirror] Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fearest of them all? [mirror breaks] Looks like I just bought seven years bad luck. Speaking of bad luck, its time for another nasty little terror tale from my crawly collection and this one's got a message too. It's a story about greed, death, and a girl that learned that beauty is "Only Sin Deep".[laughs]

[Closing wraparound segment with the Crypt Keeper putting on Acme Acne Cream.]
The Crypt Keeper: Poor Sylvia, eh kiddies? Guess she heard the old saying, "If looks could kill...", So she did. Just goes to show you, if you want to sell yourself, take a look in the mirror first, [looks in broken mirror] Bleech. Well, see you next time boys and ghouls.[laughs] (edit)

Name gag: Although Sylvia tells Ronnie her last name is Vane, as in "weather", taking the name in context to it's other spelling "Vain", which means conceited and in love with one's looks, this could be an in-joke pun as it matches her character's traits.

Name gag: Like Sylvia's name somewhat matching her personality, Ronnie's last name being "Price" can also be somewhat of an in-joke pun, matching his character's traits as he is rich and even remarks that his name is Ronnie Price, as in "everyone has theirs".

Snow White

In this episode, during the Crypt Keeper's opening wraparound segment, he rewords the classic line from the Snow White fairy tale, "Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Fairest Of Them All"? as "Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Fearest Of Them All"? (edit) GQ

In this episode, when Sylvia and Raven see the Ronnie for the first time going into his lavish apartment, Raven says, "If it isn't Mr. GQ". This is her way of saying Ronnie is a smart dressed fashionable male. (edit) Let's Make A Deal

In this episode, when Sylvia is robbing the pimp in the alley, she asks for his watch and when he refuses, she replies, "What is this?, Let's Make A F***ing Deal!" (edit) New Woman Magazine

In this episode, when Sylvia is getting herself made over after getting the ten grand, she's in the salon reading a copy of New Woman magazine, cover-dated April, 1989. (edit) Clairol

In this episode, when Ronnie is hitting on Sylvia at the party, his date looks on and Sylvia remarks, "Don't look now but I think Miss Clairol might be getting the wrong idea". This is another way of saying she's a manufactured makeup beauty. (edit)
