I know there are some TFTC behind-the-scenes personnel that have appeared in episodes of the show.

Some examples:

-John Kassir (The Cryptkeeper) has a role in "Oils Well That Ends Well"

-Director Richard Donner is among the crowd at the beginning of "Dig That Cat, He's Real Gone"

-Producer Joel Silver appears in the last Cryptkeeper segment getting cut up with the chainsaw in "Split Second"

-Producer Joe Silver is referenced for Dr. Silver's Wonder Tonic in "Showdown".

-Director Arnold Schwarzenegger appears in the opening Cryptkeeper segment for "The Switch"

-Director Tom Hanks appears in the episode "None But The Lonely Heart"

-Writer A.L. Katz plays the role of Iggy in "Whirlpool"

Bob Hoskins and Michael J. Fox also acted in the episodes they directed. I don't remember too well, but I think in the What's Cookin commentary they said some woman in the restaurant was related somehow.

And so Governor Devlin, because even the cost of freedom can be too high, I REFUSE your pardon!

Mary Ellen Trainor was married to Robert Zemeckis at the time they worked on "And All Through the House".

Gilbert Adler and A.L. Katz are the two guys who cut off the Cryptkeeper's head at the end of Demon Knight.
