When the boys are at the Ghost Bride's grave, Arnold reads the words on her tombstone. It says "Here lies Cynthia Snell. She lived her life and went straight to..." the last word wasn't seen because it was hidden in dirt. The last word is most likely "hell".
When you hear Arnold scream, you hear a re-used sound clip previously taken from Toran Caudell who had voiced Arnold in the first season.
The moment when Arnold notices Curly's red-and-white striped socks when Curly was dressed up as the Ghost Bride and unmasked him is known as a "Scooby-Doo moment". This is when the gang from the Scooby Doo show retrace clues and events from during an episode and unmask the monster.
This episode uses many Scooby-Doo gags:
Helga shuts the South and North gates making it look like a ghost actually did it and shook the north gate by ropes.
The axes that Curly and Helga were using were mallets disguised as axes.
Arnold noticed that the socks the second ghost was wearing were Curly's.
Helga confessed she scared the boys when Curly was unmasked; Curly explains why he did the same thing.
Helga and Curly both got revenge on the others in the same way but for different reasons:
Helga got revenge from the boys for not letting her come to the graveyard because she was a girl and so she pulled ghost pranks on them. The real Ghost Bride then appeared scaring everyone, only to turn out to be Curly, who dressed as the Ghost Bride because he wanted to tell the story instead of Gerald.
This episode is similar to "The Headless Cabbie" where the group recount an urban legend regarding a grim figure associated with an in-town location.
The title refers to the 1990 Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore film Ghost.
When the episode was on Paramount+, the show intro was replaced by 2 minutes of Gerald telling the Ghost Bride story, starting from after Curly stomps on the ground to Curly saying “And you left out the most important--”. It was deemed to be a mistake, and as of Dec. 28, 2024, the problem wasn’t corrected.
Continuity[]
Eugene is seen wearing a mauve sweater for most of the episode which is a nod to the Mauve Avenger from "Grand Prix".
