Trivia[]

- Max Mitchell returns to voice Baby Panda again instead of Duncan Joiner, just like in "Teacher's Pet" and "Paperboyz"
- When the Bears look up in the sky star gazing, Ranger Tabes is in the sky star gazed holding honey and Ice Bear is dressed like a bee which is from the episode "Beehive".
- Ice Bear refers himself as Zombie Bear when he's a zombie.
- This is the second 22-minute special after "Captain Craboo".

- This is the first episode seeing the Bears as skeletons.
- Alex Hirsch guest starred in this episode as the Internet Troll.
- Baby Ice Bear's child voice is heard again in this episode and he's also voiced by Max Mitchell just like Baby Panda, but he's still not talking, his child voice was first heard in the episode "Yuri and the Bear", then "Teacher's Pet" and then "Paperboyz".

Cultural References[]
- The opening scene's score resembles John Carpenter's Halloween theme music.
- The title card parodies The Conjuring Universe.
- The alien that accidentally releases the virus that turns everyone into a zombie and tries to give the antidote is modeled after and meant to sound like Kermit the Frog of The Muppet Show fame.
- When the rabbit finds the meteor, it is a reference to Ben Tennyson finding the Omnitrix in the original Ben 10 series.
- When Ranger Tabes got stung by the zom-bee, it's similar to Dead Rising, where parasitic wasps that sting their victims become zombies.
- When the Baby Bears stay in a haunted house, the short sketch contains many stylistic references to Scooby-Doo, particularly in the sound effects, scenes where monsters and bears run through the doors, and animation style. At the end of the sketch, the characters dance to parody of the Monster Mash song.
- In the haunted house one of the monsters is modeled after H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu.
- Charlie finds a wish-making machine called Zohar, a parody of when young Josh Baskin has his wishes granted by Zoltar from the movie Big.
- When Charlie goes through several different versions of his life through Zohar, he appears in one where Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear are rendered as Finn, Jake and Ice King from Adventure Time with the latter stating "Ice King in wrong show". This episode aired nearly two months after that show's finale, with Tom Kenny reprising his role.
- The Internet Troll's sadistic and unpredictable nature is a reference to Bill Cipher from the Disney animated series Gravity Falls, created by voice actor Alex Hirsch. The Internet Troll makes various internet and gamer references.
- The way Chloe realizes that the only way to defeat the Internet Troll is by simply ignoring him, and calmly turns her back on him is similar to how Nancy defeats Freddy in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
- During one of the worlds Charlie enters, a sentient phone uses a human as an object. This is a reference to the Phone Universe Rick and Morty enter in the episode "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind".
- In another world, the Bears resemble Matryoshka dolls with the Grizzly doll being the tallest, the Panda doll being the middle doll and the Ice Bear doll being the smallest.
- The last story is similar to The Simpsons story Time and Punishment from the "Treehouse of Horror V" episode:
- Charlie and Homer travel to alternate worlds.
- Zohar and Homer's toaster can bring the user to another world.
- Charlie and Homer enter a world where they think it's their original world until they realize it's not, but decide to accept it.
- The skeletons dancing at the end do the same dance as the skeletons in the Silly Symphony, The Skeleton Dance.
