Hey, It's That Guy!: Robert Goulet as Charles Deetz's boss.
- The art dealer who (attempts to) sell Delia's work is Dick Cavett.
  - The actor wearing the costume of the undead preacher is Tony Cox (though it's obviously not his voice).
Mid-Development Genre Shift: In the original script, the film was imagined to be more like a graphic horror film rather than a comedy, and instead of marrying Lydia, Betelgeuse was originally going to rape her.
What Could Have Been: Originally, the movie was to have Lydia be a minor character and was to be your typical movie teenager. She would also have a sister named Cathy who befriends the Maitlands. Somewhere along the planning process, Tim Burton decided to take character traits from both and make Lydia a Composite Character.
- Likewise, Betelgeuse himself was a lot more sinister. Oh, and he had something along the lines of a Good Twin named Swallowtail.
  - Though it was with a different name, that plot point was eventually used in the animated adaption.
- Also, originally, Tim Burton wanted Sammy Davis Jr. to play the role of Betelgeuse.
- Wes Craven was the first choice to direct before Tim Burton got involved.

Hey, It's That Voice!: Hard to believe that the voice of Lydia would later be the voice of Claire Redfield. Or maybe not...
- Hard to believe that the voice of Lydia is also Lunette the clown on The Big Comfy Couch (a semi-obscure children's show about a clown girl and her doll, Molly).
- Tara Charendoff as Claire Brewster.
  - This is what happens with an entirely Canadian voice cast.
Official Fan Submitted Content: The script for "Brides of Funkenstein".
