Ravenloft Crossovers

I was thumbing through the Ravenloft background on "The Rex" and noticed he's originally from Oerth (Knurl to be precise). I'm wondering, are there any other Ravenloft/Greyhawk crossovers? (And I'm too lazy to do the research right now.)

I know that Vecna and Kas were supposed to have been "guests" of Ravenloft at one point in the module "Vecna Reborn".

I believe there's also a gate to the Demiplane of Dread in Greyhawk Ruins.

I don't have it in front of me, but in Against the Giants: The Liberation of Geoff, I believe there was a gate to the Demiplane of Shadows / Dread. IF I remember correctly, it was near the bed of Hasforenses the Shadow dragon in Derelion.
If I'm wrong, forgive, I can check the reference tonight...

We played this several years ago . . . 2001 I think it was. The party fled from Hasforenses after a massive battle while tracking/following the BBEG, and jumped into the gate after him.
*shudders* ravenloft can be nasty business.

The module "Die Vecna Die!" takes the characters from the Flanaess, to Vecna's citadel in Ravenloft, and on to Sigil/Planescape.

The Ravenloft module "Night of the Walking Dead" refers to a "Cult of the Swamp God," which I always took to be an allusion to Greyhawk module N4, "Against the Cult of the Reptile God" (set in the Rushmoors), especially since both modules were developed for the same character levels (1-3).
This may not be an "official" crossover, so make of it what you will.
A recent installment of the Savage Tide adventure path in Dungeon also referred to a Tarascon estate near Sasserine. The Tarascon family originally appeared in "Night of the Walking Dead," in the domain of Souragne. That having been said, I don't think the latter crossover respects each world's canon particularly well.
