At 59 minutes, "Where the Dead Are" is the longest story in the history of "The Twilight Zone".
This is the only "Twilight Zone" episode or film not to be released on DVD in the United States. However, it has been released on DVD in the United Kingdom.
The lady in the theater that Amy Irving (Melissa Sanders) talks to is played by her real life mother, Priscilla Pointer. Pointer previously played Miss Cox in the segment "Kick the Can" of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), which was directed by her former son-in-law Steven Spielberg.
Dr. Jeremy Wheaton quotes the following line from "Julius Caesar" Act II, Scene II: "Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come." The same line was quoted by President Abraham Lincoln (Austin Green) in The Twilight Zone: The Passersby (1961), another story set in the aftermath of the American Civil War written by Rod Serling.
Gary Cole (James) previously played Daniel Gaddis in The Twilight Zone: Her Pilgrim Soul/I of Newton (1985).
"[closing narration for "Where the Dead Are"] Host: Quotation from the Bible, the Book of Ecclesiastes: "To everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven. A time to be born and a time to die." To which Dr. Ramsey might add, "And death will come, despite the misguided efforts of man to delay or prevent it, even in the Twilight Zone.""
"[introduction] Host: Good evening, and welcome to a very special two hours of television. Tonight we will see, for the first time, two original dramas, created by, perhaps, television's greatest storyteller, six-time Emmy Award-winner Rod Serling, beginning with a short film about a contemporary young woman, whose life unfolds in a most unusual way. We then travel to post-Civil War Massachusetts, where Rod Serling's last unproduced screenplay comes to life. So, please sit back and join me as we journey into a wonderous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop... The Twilight Zone!"
