References to Gargoyles in Rain of the Ghosts
- In Chapter Three, the Nitaino Inn's guest book lists a Terry Chung and a Elizabeth Ellis-Chung currently staying at the inn.
- In Chapter Thirteen, a tourist named Maude Cohen says to her husband Bernie, "Just give him the quarter, Bernie." This might be an allusion to Margot's line "Give him your wallet, Brendan," in the episode "Awakening: Part Three".
- The B-17 named the Island Belle uses the call-sign "Broadway Niner-Niner-Four".
Production Background
Originally created by Greg Weisman while he was in development at DreamWorks Television Animation as an animated series and purchased by Nickelodeon, the show for various reasons never got made. A version of the hour pilot (written by Weisman) would eventually become the first Radio Play at the second annual Gathering of the Gargoyles. [7][8] The characters of Bernie and Maude (then-called Marge) were indeed an allusion to Gargoyles' Brendan and Margot. [9]
