Trivia

 * The episode's title is a pun on the term lunar eclipse, an astronomical event that occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth's shadow so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon.
 * A billboard referring to the Halloween episode has been put up in Los Angeles. In it, it shows Pinkie Pie with a Spike plushie in front of a TV screen, a parody of the poster for Poltergeist.
 * This episode marks the first appearance of Princess Luna since Friendship is Magic, part 2, which premiered the same date last year. She has undergone a slight redesign, having the same flowing mane as Princess Celestia.
 * This episode also marks Zecora's third appearance in the series, not including the flashback in The Return of Harmony Part 2.
 * The episode takes place during "Nightmare Night", with the ponies donning costumes and going door-to-door to collect candy, much Halloween.
