Chekhov's Gun: Jonathan teaching Lewis to channel electricity which he uses to blast Isaac and Selena down into the clock works after they try to dislodge the 8-ball. Lewis's Magic 8-Ball. It was originally the last gift he received from his parents before they died, and thus he uses it as something akin to a Security Blanket, becoming upset when Jonathan accidentally implies its lack of worth. He later uses it as a catalyst in a Parody Magic Spell (which works, considering magic is established as unique between users) and later used to jam the cogs in the clock, saving the world.

Adaptation Deviation
 The House With a Clock in Its Walls / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: The books eventually reveal that it was Lewis's father Charles who was brother to Jonathan; here Lewis's mother was Jonathan's sister. This leads to a minor instance of headscratching, since Lewis and Jonathan have the same last name - which makes sense in the books, but should not be the case here. In the book it was Selenna who was brought Back from the Dead by Lewis to impress Tarby (with a judicious bit of manipulation by planting her name in his mind to write in the magic circle). Here, it's Isaac himself (who in the book only appeared as the clock was striking and summoning him back, and dissipated when it was destroyed). As a result, while Selenna does still do various manipulative things in the background (most notably appearing as Lewis's mother in his dreams to get him to find the book and key), she is reduced to Isaac's Dragon here (or at best, a CoDragon), rather than the main Big Bad as she was in the book. In the book, Lewis simply raised the dead using a book he found in Jonathan's library, rather than with a special evil book of Isaac's that Jonathan had locked away. Also, his mistake in raising Selenna (or in this case Isaac) was much more understandable since the tomb was marked not with a name but the Omega Symbol, rather than the diamond and twin 'I's from the movie. (Not that Jonathan explained the significance of that to Lewis, either...) In the book, the clock key was hidden inside of a brass light fixture and stolen when Selenna (or, more likely, Hammerhandle) broke in and ransacked the house. In the movie, the break-in still happens, but nothing is found because Jonathan already took the key from Isaac's book and carried it with him; it has to be taken from him later, after all of them are captured and Lewis's life is placed in danger. In the book, Lewis found the plans and notes Isaac made about the clock and the doomsday cloud patterns hidden inside an old organ. Here, Jonathan is the one to find them in the secret room, but can't read them because they are written in code—the same sort used in the Captain Midnight serials, of which both Lewis and Isaac are/were fans. The plan to find the clock still depends on Lewis doing magic in his own crazy, weird style, but it's a lot less convoluted (and more focused on this version's love of words) than the book's version. It does, however, still center on the Magic 8-Ball. A minor one, but in the book Jonathan playing a saxophone in his yard at three in the morning is just a hypothetical example that Lewis comes up with, as something Jonathan would do if he felt like it. Finally, the showdown with the Izards still comes down to only Lewis in the end, except rather than being paralyzed by the hand of glory, Mrs. Zimmerman is left fighting the serpent monster from the closet created by her Magic Misfire while Jonathan is reduced into a babynote with Jack Black's head by the clock. And while in the book the clock was a simple clock Lewis could smash, here that was only a Red Herring as the real clock was below; Lewis has to stop it by literally blocking and breaking the gears (again with the 8-ball).

Mythology Gag
 The House With a Clock in Its Walls / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Because in this version it is Isaac who is raised from the dead and Selena is young rather than old, it is his spectacles Lewis sees in Mrs. Hanchett's window rather than Selena's. And although the moment at the tomb is changed because it's a sarcophagus rather than a mausoleum, and the Chase Scene with the headlights was cut, Isaac's glasses still have the telltale pale gleaming light his wife's had in the book. The glasses are also prominently shown getting crushed in the clock's gears after the Izards fall, paralleling Selenna's smashed spectacles on her skull after the clock was destroyed in the book. And speaking of that Chase Scene, Jonathan has a similar Cool Car in the movie, even if it doesn't play as large a role. More hilariously, the brief moment when Mrs. Zimmerman insults Jonathan by referencing his back hair would seem to be a reference to the book, where Lewis, upon first meeting his uncle, sees the thick red hair on his hands and arms, sticking out from his sleeves, and wonders if it covers his whole body.

Noodle Incident: It's clearly unknown how Tarby injured his left hand that requires him to wear a cast. At first, it was thought to be a sporting injury due to him being both a basketball player and a baseball player. However, after getting the cast off and revealing his despicable Enfant Terrible nature, there is also an implication he injured himself while physically intimidating one of his past victims, either by hurting his hand when striking the poor sap or when the victim chooses to fight back. He uses his initial injury at the beginning as probably part of a Wounded Gazelle Gambit in order to become class president by getting sympathy credits.

Supernatural Repellent: Pumpkins (especially when made into jack-o'-lanterns) and iron (especially when made into horse-shoes) are mentioned to be the two best methods of keeping out evil forces, Jonathan lining his front yard with jack-o'-lanterns and nailing iron horseshoes to anything that needs extra security. Both methods fail when put to scrutiny: Isaac burns off every horseshoe in and out of the house and turns the jack-o'-lanterns into glue-spewing monsters.

Logo Joke: The Universal Pictures logo is the 1970s version, from the era when the House With a Clock in its Walls story was first published (1973), and plays backwards, mirroring the purpose of the clock. (It also brings to mind E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, in which the Universal logo also goes backwards.) The Amblin Entertainment logo used is the original version.

Adaptational Attractiveness

comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, Lewis was a rather pudgy boy, which is an important plot point for why he gets picked on and tries to be friends with an athlete like Tarby (and why he tries to use the coin amulet in the sequel). Here he's small and thin, with the same plot being accomplished by giving him a typically nerdy appearance and interests. Also, Mrs. Zimmerman in the book is in her 60s and is a fairly prototypical nice old lady next door type (who also happens to be a powerful witch), whereas in the film she's played by the very beautiful and already Older Than She Looks 49-year-old, Cate Blanchett. No effort is made to make Blanchett look older or homelier; she simply looks like Cate Blanchett with grey hair, also making this a clear case of Age Lift.

Genius Loci: The house seems to be alive. Not only can it sense and react to the things its inhabitants say, do, and feel, but after Isaac is brought back from the dead, Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman discuss how they can feel that the house "knows he's back" and is waiting for him like a dog for its master. This is reflected in how the pumpkins and topiary are turned to evil, how Lewis can no longer do things like make his bed with a wave of his hand, and how the stained-glass window, which normally changes in playful and amusing ways, suddenly depicts Jonathan, Mrs. Zimmerman, and Lewis as skeletons in their graves.

comment
In the book, the clock key was hidden inside of a brass light fixture and stolen when Selenna (or, more likely, Hammerhandle) broke in and ransacked the house. In the movie, the break-in still happens, but nothing is found because Jonathan already took the key from Isaac's book and carried it with him; it has to be taken from him later, after all of them are captured and Lewis's life is placed in danger.

Magicians Are Wizards: Jonathan, Florence, and Isaac originally worked as stage magicians (Jonathan and Isaac as a pair, Florence having done her work in France) using their very real magic to entertain the masses. This is most obvious with Jonathan, who uses the infinite handkerchief trick to try and cheer-up a crying Lewis and later turns playing cards into keys to pick locks. It is implied by a poster seen in the end of the film that Lewis will become Jonathan's new partner in this business, with Florence as an opening act or similar.

Tick Tock Terror: The first trailer heavily emphasizes the oppressive, rhythmic clock chimes to create a mysterious, foreboding and, well, clock-themed atmosphere. Throughout the film itself, a deep tick-tock can be heard in the background almost constantly.

comment
Sequel Hook: Not a blatant one, but Rose Rita's introduction in the movie has the same "And the Adventure Continues" overtones that it did in the book. Also, the demon Azazel, who taught Isaac how to build the clock and work other evil magic, could easily be adapted into the role of the demon Aziel from the later book The Ghost in the Mirror (in which Rose Rita and Mrs. Zimmerman team up to fight evil). Considering the movie's lukewarm reception, it may or may not happen.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Just after Mrs. Zimmerman gives a somewhat vague statement about how some past trauma left her unable to use magic anymore, her arm moves in a way that reveals a small numeric tattoo, indicating that she and her family were held in a concentration camp during the war. This suggests that her husband and daughter were likely victims of The Holocaust.

Lewis is desperate for friendship, and most of his peers find the goggles off-putting.

Meaningful Name: It isn't spelled out (no pun intended) the way it is in the book, but the Big Bad having the last name Izard is a reference to "izzard", the British word for the letter Z... as in, the final letter of the English alphabet, just as Omega was the last Greek letter and symbol of The End of the World as We Know It. It also rhymes with wizard.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Tarby and his henchboy Woody Mingo are extremely xenophobic of "weirdos." This is prevalent, considering the time setting; in The '50s, social class issues were occurring which resulted in such events like McCarthyism and the Civil Rights Movement (even though African American students are shown attending Lewis and Tarby's school with no apparent hard feelings from others, and racial issues are never brought up) and being set at a time before geek culture and social deviance became accepted as they are today.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the books, Florence Zimmerman was widowed long ago, and never had any children, but she's relatively happy. In the film, she's still mourning the loss of her husband and daughter in the war, and has lost access to her powers as a result. Additionally, the backstory provided with Jonathan having run away from home (or been thrown out) after he and his father disagreed about his interest in magic.

He even has The Dragon Woody Mingo to act outwardly bratty at school to deviate negative attention from himself, when in reality he is as much of a school bully as his partner. By having a cast on his left hand at the beginning, he pulls a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to earn sympathy from others to make them think he's just another victim who needs love.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Isaac Izard's actions are monstrous and his ultimate goal is even worse, but once you find out what caused him to be this way, it's hard not to feel at least a little bit sorry for him. Before this, he was implied to have been a decent person and a very close friend to Jonathan, and interestingly, he offers to save Lewis when the eclipse starts and the clock's power activates. Ultimately, he's been so twisted by his trauma and dark magic that whatever's left of the person Jonathan and Florence knew is long gone by the time he comes back from the dead.

The '50s: While the original story was set from August 1948 to April 1949, the film gives a timestamp of 1955. (This makes it more plausible for Isaac Izard to be the same age as Kyle McLachlan, 59 at the time of the movie's release, while also having been a veteran of World War II.)

While this is still true to a great extent in the book, here he takes it one step farther by being the one to actually unlock the cabinet and take out Isaac's dark book.

Gambit Roulette: The Izards' scheme required: That Lewis's parents die and Jonathan take him in. That Lewis learn enough about magic to be able to work the spell calling back Isaac Izard, but not enough to realize how incredibly bad of an idea it was. That Tarby would decide to look in the forbidden closet, discover the book, and open it to find out what was inside it, all without Jonathan catching him and Lewis. That Lewis would take Selena's suggestion and try necromancy to impress Tarby (instead of trying some other magic trick or just letting him go), and that Jonathan would once again not catch him. And all this had to happen within a very tight time limit, since the clock can only be activated during the total lunar eclipse.

Character Tics
 The House With a Clock in Its Walls / int_9ae8eea9
comment
Character Tics: It is mentioned that what makes magic work is their "weirdness"; something that makes the magic user unique to help channel inner energies and use them as magic. Jonathan demonstrates this fact by conjuring a small galaxy after scatting on his saxophone (something he is apparently prone to do at odd hours of the night). Lewis has a fascination with discovering unique words and has an attachment to his Magic 8-Ball, both of which used in creating a Parody Magic Spell that manages to find Isaac's clock.

Purple Is Powerful

comment
Purple Is Powerful: Mrs. Zimmerman is a very powerful witch, described as being much more powerful than Uncle Jonathan himself, and she's always clad from head to toe in the color purple. She tried to turn her pet snake purple (she succeeded but also turned him into a monster by accident) and even has a purple house. Her magic also glows purple when she regains her full power late in the film, too. At the very end, when Lewis invites her to join his and Jonathan's "bevy of black swans," she asks if she can be a purple one instead.

But that happened in the story too, and it just served to make Lewis become more mature and find better company.

Loophole Abuse: Jonathan despairs after the Izards get away with the key, because they had revealed the clock is hidden by a "witch's hex" which no warlock or witch, no matter how powerful, can penetrate. But Lewis points out that since he isn't a warlock yet (because he hasn't passed the test of defeating an evil spirit), he can cast the spell to find the clock.

Collector of the Strange: The House is riddled with oddities and unusual content (justified, considering that the house's owners - Isaac and then Jonathan - are both warlocks who have worked as Stage Magicians). Such weirdness includes sentient furniture, a library of spellbooks, a cabinet with horseshoes nailed to it housing a particularly dark Tome of Eldritch Lore, a living topiary winged-lion that poops dried leaves, a variety of humanoid animatronicsnote Something even Jonathan finds unnerving, a purple snake creature locked in a closet, a stained-glass window that changes its picture, a massive collection of clocksnote Something Jonathan has started to collect due to the foreboding nature of Isaac’s clock and a Tick Tock Tune Doomsday Device capable of reversing time itself if the right parameters are met.

Adaptational Backstory Change

comment
Adaptational Backstory Change: Aside from what is mentioned below about Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman's families, this version of Isaac Izard was once a good man and a friend to Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman. He was even part of a magic act with Jonathan for years, before falling into despair and misanthropy thanks to his experiences in World War II and becoming the crazed, world-destroying warlock we know from the book. Additionally, it is shown that Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmerman actually tried to talk Isaac out of his plans, and tried to break into the house to end his spell/save his life, rather than simply being left in the dark as to his activities before his sudden demise. And finally, not only was a reason for Isaac's misanthropy never given in detail in the book, but here it was the demon Azazel who gave him the plans for the clock, rather than it being something he invented and designed himself.

Lewis's Magic 8-Ball. It was originally the last gift he received from his parents before they died, and thus he uses it as something akin to a Security Blanket, becoming upset when Jonathan accidentally implies its lack of worth. He later uses it as a catalyst in a Parody Magic Spell (which works, considering magic is established as unique between users) and later used to jam the cogs in the clock, saving the world.

In the book, Lewis found the plans and notes Isaac made about the clock and the doomsday cloud patterns hidden inside an old organ. Here, Jonathan is the one to find them in the secret room, but can't read them because they are written in code—the same sort used in the Captain Midnight serials, of which both Lewis and Isaac are/were fans.

War Is Hell: Isaac Izard became an Omnicidal Maniac because of the trauma he suffered in World War II, and Mrs. Zimmerman lost her power after being imprisoned in the concentration camps where, presumably, her husband and daughter died. The anti-war theme of the movie leads to two changes from the book: the removal of the scene where Jonathan creates an illusion of the Battle of Waterloo Played for Laughs, and Rose Rita's hobby being changed to entomology instead of military history.
