* SparedByTheCut: In the script, Adam (the boy Jerry attacks in the opening scene) appears as one of the vampires trapped in Jerry's basement and is cured when Jerry dies. In the film, he's never seen after the opening scene (save for in a few old videos he made), indicating he may have been killed outright in the attack.

* ActorAllusion: Creator/DavidTennant uses the same accent he used during his tenure on ''Series/DoctorWho'' (he's actually Scottish). He even draws out his "Well...", which was one of Ten's {{catch phrase}}s. Peter also holds the stake like Ten does the sonic. There's even a very Ten-like line in the end.

Added DiffLines:

* NotScreenedForCritics: In numerous countries there were no special screenings whatsoever. Given the fact film critics liked the film quite a lot after its release, it ended up as a mixed message for the audience.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While the film still managed to be a moderate box-office success, there wasn't much faith in it between execs - limited releases [[DumpMonths in mid-August]], [[InvisibleAdvertising very small marketing campaign]], [[NotScreenedForCritics no screening for critics]] in many countries... Especially jarring since the film earned most of its revenue from foreign markets, where it was almost completely neglected.
