- DeSalle is now the Assistant Chief Engineer. Kirk puts him in charge of the Enterprise while they are on the surface.
- Thankfully, this is the only Halloween episode produced for any Star Trek series.
- James Doohan lost his right middle finger during WWII. Most of his scenes are shot to hide it, however, it is very noticeable in this episode.
