- Quotes
Young Boy: Did you have a nightmare? You ate cheese with dinner. My mommy says cheese gives you nightmares. Do you wanna see my coloring book?
[hands Carnby the book]
Young Boy: I think there's a vampire living in my closet, but my mommy says vampires and ghosts aren't real. She says that there's nothing to be afraid of in the dark.
Edward Carnby: Your mother's wrong, kid. Being afraid of the dark is what keeps most of us alive.
Young Boy: But people always tell me not to be afraid.
Edward Carnby: That's because they don't know the truth.
- Alternate versionsThe German DVD release of the Director's Cut has additional gore scenes (e.g. Miles is now brutally killed on screen instead off screen as seen in the theatrical version) and a new martial arts fight scene. The love scene between Christian Slater and Tara Reid has been removed.
