The song Rumpel's Party Palace played during the witch rave scene is a dance remix of Fugue in G Minor by Johann Sebastain Bach Appropriately for the film's subject this song is known as the Little Fugue
At the very beginning of the movie the sign for the tralier park where Rumpelstiltskin lives in has the inscription Abandon all hope ye who enter here which is what is said to say on the gates of Hell
As the head of story Walt Dohrn would perform all the voices during storyboard meetings No other actors came close to matching the voice he had come up with Rumpelstiltskin and so he was cast
