Trivia

 * The book title is a reference to 1968 sci-fi movie "Planet of the Apes"
 * This book is not a direct sequel to the book "Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes" because it happens at a different place and with different characters.
 * Some references were made in this book:
 * This book is based on the Goosebumps book, Welcome to Camp Nightmare especially with the twist ending. Adding to that, Jay Gardener has the same big blue eyes and red hair as the Jay from the same (only his hair is just curly and not so wild) and they're both quite mischievous. They may not be the same person (or alien), but that does make them strikingly similar.
 * The whole neighborhood having the same lawn gnomes outside each of their homes was like in Beware, the Snowman, where the village had every snowman outside each house.
 * With 20,929 words this book has the 2nd lowest word count of any Goosebumps book.
