Notes & Trivia
- This episode is included in the Masters of Horror Season One DVD boxset collection. It is also included on Volume 1 of the Masters of Horror: The Complete First Season Blu-ray boxset collection. It was released as a stand-alone DVD by Starz Entertainment and Anchor Bay Entertainment on June 27th, 2006.
- The Deer Woman is an actual figure in Native American folklore. Deer Woman is often said to have all the features of a normal young woman, except her feet which are shaped like deer hooves and her brown deer's eyes. Men who are lured into her presence often notice too late that she is not a natural woman and are then stomped to death.
- Director John Landis is best known for directing the 1981 horror classic An American Werewolf in London. The climactic scene where the werewolf goes on a rampage and is subsequently shot in Piccadilly Circus is referenced in this episode, implying that the two events take place in a shared continuity.
- This episode makes reference to Murph and the Magictones, a fictitious blues band featured in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, which was also directed by John Landis.
- Max Landis is the son of director John Landis with whom he co-wrote the script for this episode. Max also wrote the screenplay for the "Something With Bite" episode of Fear Itself.
