The two-year difference between this and the original Say Cheese and Die (1996) is why the two episodes are the only related ones not to feature a common actor.
This episode is based on Goosebumps book #44.
Mr. Saur's roll call shown in the final shot of this episode contains the names of several Goosebumps crew members: Lena Cordina, Ian Brock, Christine MacLean, David Forsyth, Sherry Wolfson, Jaclyn Shoub, Alan Doucette, Katy Turpin and Dan Belley.
