Star Trek The Original Series TV episode Catspaw (S.2, E.7 -1967) may contain future easter eggs to director Orson Welles. Antoinette Bower plays Sylvia, Theo Marcuse is Korob and Michael Barrier returns as DeSalle.
- The 3 witches in this story reminded me of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
- There is a hint to voodoo in Catspaw, where Bower's character places the chain and Enterprise pendant in the flame of a candle.
- One of Welles' early projects was adapting Macbeth for an urban audience for the NYC Federal Theatre Project. Nicknamed Voodoo Macbeth, Welles moved the setting to a Caribbean Island and brought in an all black cast. An ideographic reference to this play may be hinted at in Catspaw.
- Welles had links to Trek actors: He narrated the trailer for Star Trek The Motion Picture in 1979. He played a menacing robot in Japanese animated film The Transformers: The Movie in 1986. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) voiced renewed villain Galvatron.
- Antoinette Bower was later in horror film Superbeast in 1972 with Filipino actor Vic Diaz.
- Diaz later played an evil monk in 1982 action / horror film Raw Force.
- Cameron Mitchell of this cast appeared in Welles' unfinished 1969 satirical drama, The Other Side Of The Wind.
- Actress Jillian Kesner & husband Gary Graver worked to preserve Welles film which was finally completed & released in 2018.
- Geoffrey Binney played Compton in '68 Trek episode Wink Of An Eye.
