Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDaniel Stern, who plays Glen Stevenson (the father of Fred Savage's Brian Stevenson), was the man responsible for the voice-over narration on The Wonder Years (1988), in which Savage starred.
- GoofsWhile it is understood that Brian should not visit the Monsters' world anymore because he may turn into a monster himself, there is no reason to think Maurice cannot continue to visit Brian at night in the human world. This makes the tearful goodbye at the end unnecessary.
- Crazy creditsAfter the song "Road to Nowhere", the rest of the end credits audio track is Maurice eating Doritos chips.
- Alternate versionsIn the original theatrical cut, "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Bobby Day plays during the scene where the monsters attempt to scare a baby. On the DVD released by MGM in 2004, this song is replaced with "Ooh Wow" by Buckwheat Zydeco (though the end credits still list the original song). The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate (as part of their Vestron Video series), and the television airings, keep the original song intact.

Featured review
Horrible fun!!!!!!!!
I used to kill myself laughing at this film when I was young. Fred Savage seemed to get all the good roles in these kind of films in the late 80's and this one is great gross fun.
The film is just a smashing manic ride, racing along like a miniature Beetlejuce and has all the mischievous, sticky horrible nonsense that's usually found in the mind of kids! Ignore all the rubbish about sexual and paedophile undertones, It's simply folk reading WAY too much into things that could mean anything. Maybe some folk have some secrets of their own if they keep noticing things like that Hmmmm? I'm pretty sure the filmmakers didn't set out to do something like that deliberately! Great film! Thoroughly enjoyed it when I was 12, and still enjoy it now that I'm 30! Check out The Wizard as well! Another great (And misunderstood) Fred Savage Film
