Revealing mistake: Look closely at the footage when the vampires are entering the cave. Later when they are exiting the cave, the waves are flowing backwards. The same footage has been reversed. (01:17:05)

Grandpa: One thing I about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach. All the damn vampires.
Trivia: Mary Lambert was originally set to direct, but was fired due to creative differences between her and producer Richard Donner.
Question: When Max approaches the house for his second date with Lucy, being a vampire he asks Michael to invite him in so people in the house would be, in his words, "rendered powerless." As a result, Sam and the Frog brothers can't prove he is a vampire. But how did Max know that his vampirism would be tested in the first place?
Answer: He didn't, any vampire cannot enter a home unless they're invited.
Chosen answer: A vampire probably wouldn't survive for very long without playing it safe - he's probably in the habit of insisting on being invited in (if possible) whereever he goes, just in case.
