** In ''Bride of the Monster'', the police did answer to a Cpt. Robbins, but he was played by Harvey B. Dunn as a kindly older gentleman with a cute pet bird. This movie also has a Cpt. Robbins, but [[TheOtherDarrin he is portrayed by]] Johnny Carpenter and is a much gruffer character, which is weird because Dunn is also in the movie in a different role.
