Trivia: This episode is a nod to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The episode was written by Steven DeKnight, who also wrote for and worked on the Buffy series and the spin-off "Angel." James Marster (who plays Milton Fine) starred in the Buffy series. The head vampire is name Buffy Sanders, a nod to Buffy Summers. We also learn that Buffy isn't the girl's real name but changed by Chloe in her story. At the end, Ms. Kahn says people don't want to read about "slaying Buffy the Vampire."

Stupidity: When Clark is trying to sneak Lana out of the house, they walk past the front door in order to go through the kitchen door, where they get caught. It makes no sense to not use the front door. This way Lana is already outside, the whole goal in the first place, should his mom or dad see them. Not to mention the fact that Lana's car is still parked outside and Johnathan or Martha would have seen it, so they shouldn't be surprised to see her in the house.

Stupidity: When Lois, possessed by Dawn, comes downstairs and says she's going to the prom and Clark is taking her, Clark doesn't think for a moment it could be Dawn. He already knows Dawn can posses others, those people don't act like themselves, Dawn is obsessed with the prom, Lois isn't acting like herself, and Lois is now not only suddenly prom obsessed for no reason, but wants to go with Clark when she said that would never happen.

Stupidity: After the accident, Dawn is in spirit form on the road trying to wave down an oncoming car (driven by Martha Kent). Dawn doesn't know she's a spirit that can pass through objects at that point. Since Martha can't see her, she keeps driving straight towards Dawn. Dawn sees the vehicle isn't slowing down and instead of simply stepping out of the way to avoid getting hit, she turns her back, revealing to the audience that objects can pass through her now.

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Lana being stepped on by the horse, her right arm is out by her side and her hair is covered with the wood shavings lining the stall. In the next shot of her, her right arm is up so that her right hand is by her head and her hair isn't covered with the shavings. Her arm is back out by her side in the next shot when Clark arrives.

Continuity mistake: When Lex and Clark go to where Lex saw Morgan and it's a bunch of people sewing, Lex grabs a man's hand and puts it on the table. On the table is a piece of fabric that the hands are on, but in the close up shot, there is no fabric. It's back in the next shot.

Other mistake: In the flashback to 1961, "Splendor in the Grass" is playing at the Talon. However, the film was released in October of 1961 and Louise McCallum was killed in June of 1961. So the flashback would be set before the film was released.

Continuity mistake: When Perry arrives at the Kent's, and they start talking, Clark has his hands in his pockets. After being asked it he's a report, Perry starts to walk around and the shot changes and Clark no longer has his hands in his pockets and is then seen putting them in them.

Continuity mistake: The "Go Crows" sign Lana is working on changes depending on the camera angle. From the front you can see the! at the end. In the close up shot of the sign, the! is now gone. When Lana underlines "crows" it's back but the writing is slightly different.

Revealing mistake: When Lionel is playing the piano while talking to Lex, you see inside the piano and none of the dampers are moving for the notes he's playing, revealing he's not really playing or even hitting the keys.

Continuity mistake: When Lex has the envelope and pulls it away from Lana as she grabs for it, the flap is opened, so the wax seal is on top. In the next shot the flap is folded down.
