Trivia[]

  • Hocus Pocus was the first NostalgiaWeen review to be in November, since there were only two classic Halloween reviews of Casper and Teddy Ruxpin in 2015 and 2016.
  • Tusk was the second NostalgiaWeen review to be in November, since there were only four Halloween reviews in 2020.
  • There was no NostalgiaWeen for 2012, since Doug Walker stopped the show to work on Demo Reel, but brought it back in 2013 when Nostalgia Critic returned.
    • Coincidentally, in 2021, before the 2021 NostalgiaWeen opening was released, British-American animator and YouTuber WilliamLucas3 decided to make his own 2012 NostalgiaWeen opening video, being a parody of Mater and the Ghostlight from the Pixar movie Cars with NC as Mater, the balloon with eyes as the ghostlight, Malcolm as Lightning McQueen, Tamara as Sally, and Santa Christ as Luigi and Guido. However, during the chase, famous Halloween characters appear as cameos for less than a second. Some that are reviewed by NC, and some that are not reviewed by NC. They include Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Jason from Friday the 13th, Chucky from the Child's Play franchise, Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist, Pennywise the Clown, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Weegee, and constantly, creepypasta characters. Such as SlenderMan, Jeff the Killer, The Rake, Suicide Mouse. Red Mist Squidward, and BEN.
  • NC reviews at least one Stephen King movie every Nostalgia-ween.
  • When reversing the 2016 NostalgiaWeen theme, the whisper says "You really played this backwards? What's wrong with you?"
