This unfortunately marks the first Wiggles DVD to be released only on digital platforms in the band's home country of Australia, as Australia and New Zealand has had the stupidity to illegally ban DVD physical DVD and Blu-Ray copies from these countries. This is illegal and breaks the Australian industry laws and restrictions saying that physical media should never go extinct in the streaming world.

This is the third Wiggles Halloween title to be released off the heels of the succesful 2013 and 2021 releases Pumpkin Face and Halloween Party! respectively.

The new album comes as the band returns for a 15th and 16rh seasons of their hit TV series Ready, Steady, Wiggle! which will air on ABC Kids Australia, Sprout/Universal Kids USA and Treehouse TV Canada right into 2024 as well as the band's return to American concert touring in four years and a new documentary Hot Potatoes: The True Wiggles Story dropping on Amazon.com later this month.
