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.
  • With the exception of 2024, a Stephen King adaptation is reviewed every Nostalgia-ween.
  • When reversing the 2016 NostalgiaWeen theme, the whisper says "You really played this backwards? What's wrong with you?"
  • Beginning in 2015, Critic would switch out his standard black jacket with a black one with orange jack-o-lanterns on it.
