Corrected entry: Mavis knows her parents met in Hawaii because she found her father's souvenir postcard. Mavis is 118, which means her parents met in the 1890's at the latest. There were no postcards like that for Hawaii in the 1890's.

Correction: There's no reason to think this. The US was first introduced to postcards in 1873 (although they were invented in 1840) and the first "souvenir" postcards were sold in 1893 (before Mavis was born). By 1898, over 200 companies were selling Hawaii postcards, so obviously there was a market for them and no reason to think local businesses couldn't create said postcard.

Corrected entry: When everyone is playing "Charades," the Invisible Man shakes his head. The earpieces on his glasses open and close while his head is shaking. This would mean not only is he invisible, he would have no substance.

Correction: It's just a trick of perspective, they don't really open and close. As he turns his head, the angle from which we see the glasses makes it appear as though one arm has been folded in because we don't have any point of reference (such as a face) to show us that the frames have merely rotated.

Corrected entry: When Dracula comes between Johnathon and Mavis after catching them kissing, Mavis' right hand is near her face. In the next shot, her hand is down by her side.

Correction: If you watch closely, she pulls her hand down the moment before the "camera" switches.

Factual error: Johnny shows Mavis the sunrise by keeping her back in the shadows. But if your whole body is in an object's shadow then you can't see the light source. The rising sun is reflected dead center in Mavis' eyes, which means the sunlight is touching her, which means she ought to be on fire.

Suggested correction: Not really though. You see you can stand in the shadows but still look at the sun. No one actually does but it is possible.

A shadow is caused by something blocking the sun. If you stand in the shadow (i.e. you are no longer casting your own shadow), you can not see the sun. Think of lying on the beach and someone stands over you in such a way their shadow is cast over your head. The sun would be blocked from your view. You obviously would still see all the scattered light, but the sun would not be reflected off your eyes.

Question: What is the last song from the end credits - the orchestral song during the concept artwork, not the "Problem (The Monster Remix)" song?

Answer: The last song I believe you're referring to was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh. However, there are no official names for the scores he composed. It would just be something like "End Credit Suite."

Answer: I a monster.
