* Didn't Stinky bring any clothes to the sleepover? When the boys went to the park, the others had normal clothes, but Stinky was wearing his nightshirt and slippers (and a coat)
* Usually, stories involving a red scarf go something like this: a man picks up a hitchhiker wearing a red scarf, but she leaves behind her purse; when he finds some ID inside the purse and drives to that address, he discovers that the woman in question died years ago, usually on that night - and occasionally the story ends with the man finding the scarf tied around the woman's tombstone
* First he gets two credits in one episode, and now this: Stephen Viksten was credited as voicing Oskar, yet Oskar doesn't appear in this episode

* This episode first aired in the USA in October, 1999; however, there were no Friday the 13ths between August, 1999 and October, 2000 (although every year has at least one)
* Arnold and Gerald could have avoided the black cat's bad luck by not walking through its path
* Wolfgang probably made up the "triple bad luck" for breaking a mirror on Friday the 13th; I've never heard of it
* The paint that spilled on Arnold and Gerald didn't stain their clothes
* Arnold was told to read the instructions before opening the Good Luck kit, yet he's seen reading the instructions while the box is open
* Wolfgang has an Auto Shop textbook in his locker - what elementary school has an auto shop?
* The paper towel holder in the bathroom has HB (Harold Berman?) carved into it
* The lockers have combination locks and key locks - but the key locks disappear when Arnold and Gerald open their lockers
* When Arnold opens his locker, one of the things that falls out is a paper titled "My Summer Vacation" that got an A+
* Grandpa got one supersitition right: the reason you throw spilt salt over your shoulder is to get it "in the devil's eye"
* ...but you're supposed to throw it over your left shoulder; Grandpa threw it over his right one (although he did throw it with his right hand, which is also correct)
* At least they spelled her name right this time: the "A" in Kathy Najimy's last name is smaller than it should be
* Here's a list of the things Grandpa says (most of them are over the closing credits):
o Salt, salt, as you fly, hit the devil in the eye
o Salt, salt, white and gleamin', save us from the evil demon
o Salt, salt, pure white wonder, save us from the man down under
o Salt, salt, we are feeble; save us from the devil's evil
o Salt, salt, from the ocean, save us from the devil's potion
o Salt, salt, queen of spices, save us from the devil's vices
o Salt, salt, chilling starkness, save us from the prince of darkness
* Notice that you can say "devil", but not "hell"; this appears to be a policy on all Nicktoons
