Trivia
The exterior of the house that Michael says looks familiar is the same house from Psycho (1960).

Goofs
Lizzie Borden was never actually convicted (nor even definitively suspected by the courts) of axing her parents to death (it was later thought by some that a male miscreant family member was more likely the true culprit), so Michael's alluding to her as an example of a innocent-looking-lady-turned-murderer was not really valid, especially since it is still widely believed that Miss Borden was indeed innocent, just as she'd always claimed to be.

Quotes
Norman Baines: She's gone away.
Michael Knight: Somehow you make that sound so permanent.

Boo!

A completely offbeat Halloween episode, to be sure, this opens with a curious promise that the latter half doesn't quite match. A gorilla suit, a murder, and Bonnie searing it really happened, the case puts Michael's sleuthing skills to work. The solution to the crime rests with some technological trickery (surely futuristic for '84) and culminates in a loving "Psycho" homage. After that, it's your standard K.I.T.T. car chase, one good stunt and the bad guy goes down. It felt like the second half, which really embraces the holiday, skewed way too far into silly.
