Factual error: Horace was not holding the shotgun properly - the kickback would have not only made him miss Gillman, but it would have knocked Horace to the ground.
The Monster Squad (1987)
1 factual error
Directed by: Fred Dekker
Starring: Stephen Macht, Andre Gower, Duncan Regehr, Robby Kiger
Deliberate mistake: When the vortex is summoned to get rid of the monsters, other things get sucked into it. Cars, trees, light poles, other police officers. However other things or people who are more accessible do not get sucked in. For example, Phoebe hiding behind a bench, the bench itself, Phoebe's mother and a few cops hiding behind a cop car, etc.
Phoebe: Come on. Don't be chicken shit.
Trivia: To keep things "real" between Dracula and the kids, Duncan Regehr would not interact with the children in the film unless they were shooting a scene. He wouldn't speak to them, eat with them, or acknowledge them at all to keep a wall of distrust up with them. After the film wrapped, it was reported he treated them and their families to dinner to celebrate.
Question: At the beginning of the movie, it was stated that Van Helsing planned to use the amulet to send every monster to limbo but that him and his team blew it. How exactly did they blow it?
Answer: It is shown that Dracula's servants were successful in protecting their master. Dracula escapes while Van Helsing himself is sucked into limbo.
