Trivia[]
- Gale Storm's final acting performance.
- Michael Horton and Debbie Zipp are married in real life so, in essence, Grady was marrying his real life wife.
- Per the title, for good luck the bride must wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
- Conchata Ferrell would later go on to play a similarly tough housekeeper on Two & A Half Men.
- It shouldn't surprise too many people (particularly horror and slashers fans) that Betsy Palmer's character is the killer, seeing how she had previously played Mrs. Voorhees in Friday the 13th (1980). This is her second appearance in the show. Her first (not acting as a killer) was in the Season 2 episode "Sticks and Stones". Another actor who had previously played a killer from a horror/slasher was also on the show. Dan O'Herlihy, who had played Cochran from Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) prior to being on the show. Dan's start appearance was about 14 months before Betsy's.
Goofs[]
