Trivia

The next door neighbor, Harold, is played by George Wendt, best known for his role as Norm on Cheers (1982). His on-screen best friend from Cheers, Cliff the mailman (played by John Ratzenberger), appears in the sequel to this film, House II: The Second Story (1987) as Bill Tanner, the electrician/adventurer.

The For Sale sign at the beginning of the movie has the name of Craven Realty, perhaps a nod to Wes Craven, the legendary horror director.

Goofs

The rope that Roger lowers into the "black hole" in his medicine cabinet is a smooth, cotton rope. The rope that we see him sliding down is a rough, hemp rope.

When Roger is about to make an escape through the bathroom window, we can see the blinds are pulled all the way up. When it cuts the blinds are pulled half way down.

When Roger is running away from Ben, Ben breaks through the window and walks through it. Two shots later the window is suddenly mended.
