== Trivia ==
*[[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] talking about making a cameo appearance, {{w|Aspect ratio|4:3}} and [[season 4]].
*This episode is the first "[[Treehouse of Horror series|Treehouse of Horror]]" episode not to feature a [[title card]] and the first to have two segments linked together (Homerzilla and Tele'Paths of Glory, both having Homerzilla).
*The production code TABF18 appears on the tests that Sideshow Bob is correcting as the course number.
*One of the pre-release images for Tele'Paths of Glory have [[Lisa]] playing various instruments with her powers while [[Homer]] and [[Bart]] watch her. But in the final version, [[Bart]] is not present and [[Homer]] interrupts her, saying that "The musicians union does not allow this!", which makes her drop all the instruments.
*[[Gracie Films]] logo's scream was replaced by Homerzilla roaring.

== Goofs ==
*When [[Lisa]] and [[Santa's Little Helper]] first look into the window and see [[Bart]] in the basement, there are no bars on the window but when the camera angle changes in the next scene, the bars appear.
*After [[Sideshow Bob]] tried the reanimator machine for the first time, there's a skull with two wires connected to its eye holes on the background. After the second test, however, it's gone.
*During the montage, the word "Reanimate" on the machine appears only when [[Sideshow Bob]] pulls the lever, but when the family rescues Bart, it's shown in its normal position.
*Due to Homerzilla eating all of the donuts, it's unlikely the fishes were getting fat and ugly because of them.
*The title is inaccurate as [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Milhouse]] gain telekinesis rather than telepathy.
*[[Milhouse]] killed [[Dolph]] by throwing him on a volcano, but he reappears later at the "whack-a-mole" game with the other bullies.
