Savanti Romero returns to wreak havoc on New York with an army of monsters, and Renet recruits the Turtles to help her travel back in time to stop it from happening.

* ContinuityNod:
** April remarks that after dealing with foes such as aliens (Dregg, the Triceratons, etc.), demons (Kavaxas), and super-mutants (too many to list), it's nice to enjoy Halloween.
** The Turtles helped Renet banish Savanti to the past back in "Turtles In Time".
** Mikey references how Raph was forced to wear a fairy princess costume for Halloween.
** Raph is spooked by a hieroglyphic of Anubis, as it reminds him of the late Rahzar.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Frankenstein's monster briefly appears towards the beginning of the episode; he will be properly introduced two episodes from now.
* IKnowYoureInThereFight: April and Casey get this treatment from the Turtles after they've been turned into vampires.
* LegionOfDoom: Savanti begins to form one of the monsters he recruits, starting with an ancient reanimated pharaoh.
* MythologyGag:
** Past stories in the mythos often establish that Halloween is the one day of the year in which they can roam the streets freely without scrutiny, and Raph affirms it in this series.
** This episode confirms that Savanti was sent back to the Mesozoic Era, a fate that has befallen both of his past incarnations and similarly failed to stop him for good.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Renet accidentally enabled Savanti's escape from the Cretaceous Period.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Renet takes the Turtles back in time to stop Savanti from recruiting his army of monsters. However, the group only inadvertently ''helps'' Savanti recruit them as they go along.
* ShoutOut: This episode, and the rest of the arc, is basically the show runners' excuse to really glut themselves with horror references.
** The tombstones seen shortly after the end of the opening titles reference famous directors such as Creator/JohnCarpenter and Creator/SamRaimi.
** The lieutenant in the ''Spaces Heroes'' episode has been infected by a "Xenowolf virus." The only solution to the problem, putting him down, as well as the name of the virus, bear obvious resemblance to Xenomorph infection in the ''{{Franchise/Alien}}'' franchise.
