History Trivia / LetTheRightOneIn

* CreatorBacklash: John Ajvide Lindqvist revealed that Hammer tricked him into signing away the television rights and is not getting paid for the show. “The only thing I've seen is the trailer, where there is some from the book and otherwise it's general vampire nonsense.”[[https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/kE6AJ9/john-ajvide-lindqvist-salde-rattigheterna-till-lat-den-ratte-komma-in-for-en-krona]]

* AscendedFanon: In the novel, Eli and Håkan's relationship is fairly well spelled out, but in the original Swedish film, their past is left ambiguous, leading those who hadn't read the book to speculate that [[spoiler:Håkan was once a boy like Oskar whom Eli had seduced]]. ''Film/LetMeIn'' directly went with this interpretation. This however never set well with Lindqvist who as mentioned made it clear in the book but even wrote a side sequel short story to show Eli turned Oskar.

* ActorSharedBackground: Like their characters, Creator/DemianBichir (as Mark), Madison Taylor Baez (Eleanor) and Fernanda Andrade (Elizabeth) are all Latinos. Further, Mark says he's from Mexico City originally, like Bichir is.

* SuppressedMemories: Happened to child actress Lina Leandersson - she was a rare averted case of DawsonCasting, being a 13-year old playing a 12-year old, but puberty hit her ''hard'' during the latter half of the shoot. She grew outwards so quickly the wardrobe department could barely keep up and the bindings used to keep her both age-appropriate and ambiguously gendered are clearly visible during some of the outdoor shots.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was going to be a TV series that would have aired on TNT, but they passed on the pilot. Like with the American movie, it would have changed the characters' names (with the exception for Eli). One major difference between all the other incarnations would be that Oskar (called "Henry") and his bullies would have been 16-years-old instead of 12.

* {{Jossed}}: The US remake keeps the vague comment of "I'm not a girl" but throws out the scene where the [[spoiler:castration scar]] was shown (thereby implying that the phrase simply means she is not a girl, but a ''vampire girl''). A deleted scene shows [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxFB2yDsSZI Abby's vampirization]] and how she was [[spoiler:a girl]] at the moment of her turning.

* PlayingAgainstType: Per Ragnar (Håkan) is most well-known to Swedes who remember TheEighties as a feel-good Saturday morning TV host.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Oskar's favorite books in the novel are the ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' novels. The first ''Goosebumps'' book was published in 1992, over a decade after when the story takes place.

The US adaptation plays this theory straight, directly implying that it was what indeed happened.
