Background
The comic "Let's Twist Again" (US#028) reveals that the ideas for the Scary Door come from a parallel universe where everything is ironic and there is only one writer for the show.

Trivia

 * The third episode which appears behind the ending credits of "Spanish Fry" was originally going to appear in "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz", but the scene was deleted.
 * Since the first appearance, one episode has been seen in each season (including one of the films and one so far in season 6), though this is probably unintentional, since the one appearing in "Spanish Fry" originally was intended for "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz".
