Did You Know?
| Trivia | There were three characters that were supposed to be displays in the Waxwork, but left out of the film for legal reasons: Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series, five children from Village of the Damned (1960), and The Thing (1982). See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 21 mins) In the werewolf scene, when the hunters arrive to kill the werewolf, the young one hands the older one a box containing 3 silver bullets. The older hunter drops the bullets and as he is bending down, we see all 3 on the ground. A few minutes later the older hunter loads a silver bullet and shoots the werewolf. We then see Tony beginning to change. The older hunter kneels down to get another bullet and we see 3 intact bullets on the ground. See more » |
