    • Trivia
      While talking to Lewis about how she lost her magic and family, Florence Zimmerman's bare arm is shown, and a tattoo is visible implying that she was in a concentration camp.
    • Goofs
      Florence uses the phrase "24-7", a saying that didn't come into use until the mid-1980s.
    • Quotes

      Jonathan Barnavelt: Have a look around, it's perfectly safe...

      [a tentacled monster opens a door, Jonathan shoves it back]

      Lewis Barnavelt: THAT's safe?

      Jonathan Barnavelt: As long as it's fed.

    • Crazy credits
      The Universal Pictures logo is the 1970s version, from the era when the "House With a Clock in its Walls" story was first published (1973). It also runs backwards, in keeping with the titular clock's magical power.
    • Alternate versions
      Theatrical versions of the movie are longer by 10 seconds, with a bumper for Universal Parks and Resorts placed before the Amblin Partners logo. this is removed from home video releases however, instead cutting directly to the Amblin Partners logo after the credits.

    7/10
    It's not for kids so I'm going to rate it 1? STOP
    (Some parents are complaining about the rating but are ignoring the quality of this movie for their little issues. It's why parent's can actually look up reviews before watching a movie with their kids. Like you guys are fine letting your kids watch prince charming kiss unconscious princesses but mild horror, oh no?)

    Anyway, yeah this movie was good, and most kids will like it too, if they love Harry Potter, then this will be great for them. I did want to give it 10/10 for the rating being so low but that wouldn't be an honest review of the quality of the movie. It was definitely entertaining and thrilling for me.
