Quote: “Sometimes Dead is Better.”- Jud Crandall

Fun Facts: Listen for Jud talking in the background during Ellie’s birthday party, he is referencing to another Stephen King’s novel/movie, Cujo (“There was a big Saint Bernard. He got rabies…”).

Fun Facts: The number, 1111, (in reference to Jeremiah 11:11, a bible verse) appeared a bunch of times in the movie.

Jordan Peele provided the voice as the fun house narrator.

The VHS tapes (C.H.U.D. and The Goonies) in the beginning are hinting plot points of the film.

The red suits the doppelgangers wear is similar to the jacket Michael Jackson wears in the ‘Thriller’ music video.

The Review:  Jordan Peele gives out an outstanding horror world that contains potential storylines.
