Production

Filming

Three directors were credited, including George Gordon, Carl Urbano, and Rudy Zamora. Since Hanna-Barbera were partial to group crediting for their Saturday morning cartoon's entire season, it's unknown if all four of them directed the episode.

Music

The music is composed by Hoyt Curtin.

Behind the scenes

• Wolfenstein is based on Count Dracula.
• This is the first time Fonzie's full name, Arthur Fonzarelli, has been used in the cartoon, although his surname had been used separately before.
