The episode is given the name of an entirely different story than displayed. "Revenge is the nuts" is a story featured in the EC Comic "Vault of Horror" issue #20 and deals with abused inmates of an Asylum whom exact revenge via feeding their abuser to a monstrous inmate who rips him apart. Though this episode uses this title, it is actually an adaptation of an entirely different story called "Blind Alleys" from the EC Comic "Tales From The Crypt" issue # 46 about abused blind patients who exact their revenge using a razor blade hallway and a hungry dog. The stories are slightly similar with different gruesome circumstances of their endings. This episode is not "Revenge is the nuts" even though it is titled as such. It bares none of the details of that story and all of the details down to the exact ending of "Blind Alleys."
Bibi Besch (Armelia) was the mother of actress Samantha Mathis. Tim Sampson (Osgood) was the son of actor Will Sampson.
