Practical Effects
Gloriously cheap costumes and sets that age like funky cheese.
Writing
Bob Baker's Doctor Who pedigree sneaks through in the time-travel logic.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bob Baker co-wrote 'The Claws of Axos' and 'The Mutants' for Doctor Who, and Into the Labyrinth shares that same 'sci-fi on a shoestring' DNA.
The show ran parallel to the early Dungeons & Dragons craze, capturing that same 'kids outsmarting ancient evil' fantasy before it became Hollywood formula.
