 ** Relatedly, ''The Halloween Apocalypse'' is set on the same day it was broadcast: [[31 October]] [[2021]]. This makes it the fifth episode in the revived series to do so, following ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' for [[25 December]] [[2009]], ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' for [[26 June]] [[2010]], ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' for [[22 April]] [[2011]], and ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'' for [[1 January]] [[2019]].

 * When trying to release herself from the vocally-locked [[handcuffs]], the Doctor claims that her failure to open them might be to do with the fact that she was [[Scottish]] when she set them up, and proceeds to attempt a [[Scotland|Scottish]] accent. According to the [[BBC America]] subtitles, she first attempts to copy the voice of the [[Twelfth Doctor]] ([[Peter Capaldi]]) and then the [[Seventh Doctor]] ([[Sylvester McCoy]]).
 * [[Karvanista]]'s attempt at [[Hypnosis|hypnotism]] by swiping his hand across in front of Dan's face is similar to that of the "Jedi Mind Trick" from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga.
