1 easter egg
Directed by: Joe Dante
Starring: Christopher Lee, John Glover, Robert Prosky, Phoebe Cates, Zach Galligan, Robert Picardo
Continuity mistake: When the drawer opens and Clams asks what's up with the drawer, Billy says it opens automatically while having his hands in his pocket. When it cuts his arms are crossed. (00:23:15)
Grandpa Fred: They put me on at 3am. People who are awake at 3am aren't afraid of the Wolfman. The only thing that frightens those people is sobering up and going to work.
Trivia: When that insane gremlin has Billy sitting in a dentist chair and is attacking him with the dentist tool, at some point he asks, "Is it safe?", for many it must have seemed senseless, but it is actually a nod to the 1976 movie "Marathon man", in which, during a scene, Dustin Hoffman is sitting on a dentist chair while tortured with a dentist tool by an ex- Nazi (played majestically by Sir Laurence Olivier) who keeps asking him the same question once and again.
