## Trivia

* The phase of the moon in the show was meant to match up with the phase of the moon on the night each episode originally aired.
* All of the names that Gregory (Collin Dean) names his lucky frog (Jack Jones) are: Kitty, Wirt, Wirt, Jr., George Washington, Mr. President, Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Cucumber, Greg, Jr., Skipper, Ronald, and Jason Funderberker.
* In episode two, "Chapter 2: Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee", Gregory (Collin Dean), Wirt (Elijah Wood), and Beatrice (Melanie Lynskey) pass through Pottsfield, a town full of skeletons. This is a portmanteau of Potter's Field, a term for a graveyard for people who can not afford to buy a burial plot.
* There were originally supposed to be eighteen episodes.
* The first miniseries created for Cartoon Network
* The soundtrack for the show is one of the most requested. The mixtape, "For Sara", from episode nine, "Chapter 9: Into the Unknown", was available on cassette for a limited time (now available on Soundcloud), and the full soundtrack, on vinyl only, is soon to be released for a limited time (Executive Producer Patrick McHale actually unboxed it on his YouTube channel). The full soundtrack is going to be released on Soundcloud.
* The bell Auntie Whispers (Tim Curry) used to control Lorna (Shannyn Sossamon) resembled Lorna.
* Although Wirt (Elijah Wood) and Gregory (Collin Dean) arrive in The Unknown on Halloween and return to the real world only a few seconds later at the end of the mini-series, it was originally planned for the boys to come back on Christmas day.
* One of the episodes that didn't make the final cut was a man who makes dice out of the bones of kids.
* In the soundtrack, it was revealed in "Langtree's Lament" that Jimmy Brown (Thomas Lennon) has only been gone for three days. However, Miss Langtree (Janet Klein) says that it feels like eight.
* Originally, the Unknown was supposed to be a Limbo world, and The Beast (Samuel Ramey) was supposed to be a guide for Wirt (Elijah Wood) and Gregory (Collin Dean) to bring them back to life.
