Trivia[]
- After Dustin received the script for the episode "Dark", he went on a several month long binge of as many horror movies as possible to help him prepare to direct this episode, which eventually drove his wife crazy.[1]
- "Jurrasic Park" was one of the first films Dustin saw in the theaters as a kid. Because of this, the raptors from the film became a recurring threat in his dreams for years afterwards which he attributes to the scene where the raptors stalk the children in the kitchen.[2]
