The Klopeks' house address is 669. When Ray and Art use the heavy door knocker on their door the 9 slides down changing the Klopeks' house number to 666 which is considered the 'mark of the beast' in biblical terms. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

Walter's toy poodle Queenie was played by the same dog that played Precious in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), PeeWee's Playhouse, The first Tim Burton Batman #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

Tom Hanks, along with Carrie Fisher and Joe Dante, pitched in and rented Raging Waters Amusement Park out and had everybody's family come and enjoy the amusement park as a wrap party. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

The events that take place in the film during Tom Hanks' "alleged" one week vacation are Monday through Friday with Hanks going for his "second" vacation the following day. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

Although the first shot of the film depicts it as taking place in the Des Moines, Iowa area, several references, including the Illinois license plates on the garbage truck, place this film in the Chicago area. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

Carrie Fisher actually wore a wig that was pretty similar to her own hair do - in between takes she would take it off and the cast couldn't tell the difference. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

In the scene at the Klopeks' house, Bruce Dern is fascinated by one of Dr. Klopek's paintings, turning it upside down. That painting appeared in the opening sequence of an early episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery (1969). #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs

Movie was shot on Colonial Street at the Universal back lot. It has been used for many films and television shows, including Desperate Housewives. Some of the buildings have changed over time, but Walter's house is the only building on the lot that hasn't changed at all. #FFBMovieNight #TheBurbs
