Mythology Gag
 The Munsters / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Herman wears a similar fur coat to the one that the Monster wore in Son of Frankenstein. Much like they did in Here Come the Munsters, the Munsters arrive in America on Halloween, though the holiday plays a much larger role in events here. Zombo's TV show and his Crumble Creature Crackers snack both appear, having featured in the Munsters Season 2 episode "Zombo". Here, Herman watching Zombo inspires him to move his family to Los Angeles.

Sound-Effect Bleep: Dr. Wolfgang has some vulgar words for his detractors while being interviewed for a Show Within a Show - since he's on live TV, the ensuing comical sound effects probably actually occurred in-universe, triggered by someone off camera in the studio.

 The Munsters / int_8a07e085
comment
Denser and Wackier: While the original show was light-hearted and goofy, the movie cranks it up a notch. The aesthetics of the whole movie is done in a "Halloween Fun House" style similar to House of 1000 Corpses, Herman and Lily's lovestruck reactions evoke "Love Can Make You Gonk", Herman starts out as a Glam Rock star, the movie is full of Extreme Close-Ups and Fish-Eye Lens shots, not to mention the heavy application Techno.

Shout-Out
 The Munsters / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: Count Orlok (here spelled Orlock) from Nosferatu is a suitor for Lily, and the Count does a Pivotal Wake Up, which originated from the same film. When the Count accuses Herman of getting Lily drunk when seeing her dancing after her engagement, she admonishes him by reminding him that she never drinks wine.
