Notes
References
- "These Boots Were Made for Rolling" is a play on the 1966 song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".
Continuity
- All the SKRM teams in "These Boots Were Made for Rolling" previously appeared in the TV special "Friday Night Frights".
Milestones
- 40 characters make their comic debuts, as do the frogs.
- Create-A-Monster's female insect, female three-eyed ghoul, female blob, female ghost, and female mummy all make appearances.
- The school nurse makes her fiction debut.
Errors
- According to her 'School's Out' diary, Cleo has an innate ability to charm snakes and explicitly rejects the use of flutes for that, yet in "Hissy Fit" she has to resort to using one.
- Frankie's non-petrified hand in "Hissy Fit" switches between being a right hand or a left hand.
- Iris is miscolored in "Scream All About It!", sporting blue skin and red hair instead of shades of green.
Other
- In the catalogue of Little, Brown and Company, the series is announced with a small version of a textless comic page. This page is not included in the comic nor is there a story that could've logically included the scene due to the peculiar presence of Toralei Stripe that would need some context. "Hot Couture" does have a minimal fearleading scene though.
- The announcement also promised seven stories instead of six. It is possible the "Behind the Screams" section was counted, but it is also possible a story was scrapped or even transferred to I Only Have Eye for You.
- The following fashions are worn in "Scream All About It!": Frankie and Deuce wear their Dawn of the Dance outfits, Cleo wears her Scaris: City of Frights dress, Clawdeen, Lagoona, and Ghoulia wear their Ghoul's Night Out clothes, Abbey and Spectra wear their 'To Howl For' fashions, Robecca wears her 'My Wardrobe and I' dress, and Draculaura wears her Music Festival ensemble.
