History Trivia / TheHauntingHour

** Debbie Ryan as Steffani in ''Wrong Number'', who's a complete AlphaBitch in comparison to NiceGirl Bailey from ''[[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody The Suite Life on Deck]]''.

* ShoutOut: Loomis sounds almost identical to [[Disney/AliceInWonderland the Disney version of the Mad Hatter]].

** TomKenny as Uncle Howie, which is not only one of the rare times Kenny has done live action (the other times were on the sketch shows ''The Edge'' and ''Mr. Show''), but also shows Kenny playing a cartoonish and goofy character in yellow as a villain rather than as a protagonist (like on ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'') or as comic relief (as seen with Heffer Wolfe on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'').

* TalkingToHimself: As mentioned above, TomKenny not only plays Uncle Howee on the episode of the same name, but is also the voice of the rabbit puppet, Loomis, and they interact with each other throughout the episode.
