** The main [[Franchise/SpiderMan Green Goblin]] truck is just too stupid-looking and [[ObviouslyEvil on the nose]] to be scary.

* HilariousInHindsight: The trailer for the movie has Creator/StephenKing say things like "If you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself" or "I just wanted someone to do Stephen King right". [[note]]One of the reasons why Stephen King directed the movie was because he famously didn't like the movie adaptation of ''Literature/TheShining''.[[/note]] With the movie itself being a critical and commercial flop, it seems even Stephen King can't do Stephen King right.

* {{Narm}}: Almost too much to count. The scene where the guy gets electrocuted by the arcade machine, as well as the waitress's mental break down ("WE - MADE - YOU!!!") stand out.

* FridgeHorror: Done when Deke is biking through the neighborhood. Seems awfully unusual that a truck would announce it's appearance with an [[BadHumorTruck ice cream truck jingle]]. Then you remember children are most likely to come running at the sound of an ice cream truck's music. The bloody front end of the truck only enforces this.

** Add in the fact that big screen adaptations of ''Misery'', ''The Green Mile'', and ''IT'', which all came out after this movie, have all been critically acclaimed, and King's remarks become even funnier in hindsight.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Any song for Music/{{ACDC}} fans, but "Who Made Who" stands out as the one of the three sole original songs in the soundtrack.

* DeletedScene: The kid being [[YourHeadAsplode ran over by the steamroller]] was originally MUCH [[{{Gorn}} more visceral.]] This was edited out of the final release version for ''obvious'' reasons.

* AccidentalAesop: The behind-the-scenes anecdotes seem to have this lesson: "Don't do a major-budget production while hopped up on cocaine." Stephen King will freely admit that this was his biggest "stinker" because no one was willing to tell him his ideas were stupid and he was drugged for most of the time.
