Trivia: The costume That Johnny wears at Dennis' 5th birthday party is the same Dracula costume in the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula." (01:04:35)
Trivia: When the movie was theatrically released, in the scene where Dennis is watching the puppet monsters, Cakey originally says "Don't eat all that cake, the worst monster of all is diabetes." However, this line was removed upon digital release due to numerous complaints from audiences. Instead, Cakey says "Don't eat all that cake!" and laughs for the remainder of the line.
Answer: It does not matter that Dennis was not a member of the camp. Dracula dropped a child (Dennis) from a tower, just like in real life, that would be seen as completely inappropriate and unacceptable.
