* LeitMotif: Part of the eponymous track ("you can’t kill me, do you want to?") has the same melody as the title song from the first episode of Season Two, "Honey Queen". This melody is also used as the Honey Festival’s theme in general. (Also, when Sheila Young starts putting the moves on Ted, we get a little bit of "Young At Heart".)

* RunningGag: No one ever points out that Sherman is a grown man... rather, the term used is always "grown-ass man". Even Becky Barnes is impatient enough with the guy to use that terminology.


Added DiffLines:

* SimultaneousArcs: The entirety of ''Nightmare Time 2'' takes place in a single timeline and in the rough vicinity of the Honey Festival, and nowhere else is that better displayed than in this story's climax; among many other small snippets of people attending the festival, we see Zoey's friend Hailey shopping for the tea that she brings Zoey in "Honey Queen", as well as Sheila seducing Ted shortly before she brings him home in "Daddy".
