* ArtistDisillusionment: Apparently it had enough for one of the screenwriters, Creator/DanHarmon, [[http://www.movieline.com/2010/03/monster-house-screenwriter-apologizes-for-his-movie-slams-director-and-spielberg.php to write an apology letter]], citing that ExecutiveMeddling had made the movie more scary than intended. The letter also took the opportunity to [[TakeThat call Spielberg and company morons]] regarding decisions made that Harmon was clearly unhappy with.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Per word of Dan Harmon, producer Steven Spielberg and director Gil Kenan made the final product more scary in tone than he had wanted and forced in the scene expanding on [[spoiler: Constance's origin and death]] against his wishes. Considering the film is in fact called ''Monster House'' and the backstory is actually very important plot wise, fans of the film would see their influence as a [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools good thing]]. Ironically, this was in addition to executive decisions made to make the film ''less'' disturbing, such as [[spoiler:having all of the house's victims show up alive and well during the credits]] and rejecting Harmon's original idea to have the house be full of human organs.

* RealLifeRelative: In the Mexican Spanish dub, DJ and Charlie are played by real-life brothers Alejandro and Luis Fernando Orozco.

** One piece of concept art has Zee standing outside the police car while the kids are in the backseat, with the tree starting to pick her up to suck her inside the house. This was ultimately dropped from the film.
