Trivia
Daniel Stern, who plays Glen Stevenson (the father of Fred Savage's Brian Stevenson), was the man responsible for the voice-over narration on The Wonder Years (1988), in which Savage starred.

Goofs
While it is understood that Brian should not visit the Monsters' world anymore because he may turn into a monster himself, there is no reason to think Maurice cannot continue to visit Brian at night in the human world. This makes the tearful goodbye at the end unnecessary.

Quotes
Maurice: A man's best friend, His right hand.

Crazy credits
After the song "Road to Nowhere", the rest of the end credits audio track is Maurice eating Doritos chips.

Alternate versions
In the original theatrical cut, "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Bobby Day plays during the scene where the monsters attempt to scare a baby. On the DVD released by MGM in 2004, this song is replaced with "Ooh Wow" by Buckwheat Zydeco (though the end credits still list the original song). The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate (as part of their Vestron Video series), and the television airings, keep the original song intact.

One of the Greatest Movies that ever Existed!

This is one of My Favorite movies.It is Adventureist,funny,sad,dramatic,action filled,and every thing!There is only one sad part in it to the rest is a blast fulled movie and it will teach you to love this movie as much as I do.Now I'll tell you the sad part but only a tiny little snitch of it and that would be at the end the kid has to leave the monster and so the Monster gives him his black leather jacket and tells the kid Where there's a bed there's a way.And that Saying is probably the best in the movie.Also Another Cool thing is that if Like the T.V. show Boy Meets World Cory Or whatever his name is in real life anyways you can see what he looks like as a kid and it's awesome cause he's so so so cute.Now that's a ll i'm gonna tell you So remember that if There's a Bed There's a Way!
