Trivia
This is the first of three Halloween based stories and the debut of the villain Samhain. He will return in Halloween II 1/2 (1987), but not in the third and final Halloween set adventure, The Halloween Door (1989).

Goofs
The characters say the name "Samhain" as it would be pronounced according to English rules; the proper pronunciation is closer to "sah-win". "Samhain" is an old Gaelic word, which adopted the Roman script (also used in English and most other Western European languages) but with different pronunciation rules to match the language.
