Cast
Production
- This is the first episode where Julie Bennett replaces Linda Gary as Aunt May due to Gary's death.
- This episode features Harry Osborn becoming the second Green Goblin. In the comics, Harry grew insane and became the new Green Goblin and died of the Goblin formula overdose. But, here in the series, Harry actually contacted his father from limbo through a spiritual link because the show's creators thought that would be too complicated for the younger kids to understand. This is why they threw the Green Goblin into limbo (The censors originally banned characters from being killed off, and this loophole ended up becoming a plot device).
