While talking to Lewis about how she lost her magic and family, Florence Zimmerman's bare arm is shown, and a tattoo is visible implying that she was in a concentration camp.
The fictional "House with a Clock in Its Walls" was based on the real-life Cronin Mansion in author John Bellairs's hometown of Marshall, Michigan, which served as the basis for the town of New Zebedee used in his novels.
Screenplay writer Eric Kripke has stated multiple times on his Twitter page that he was a fan of the novel "The House With A Clock In Its Walls" while growing up. He has even stated that the novel was the original inspiration of the long running CW television show, Supernatural (2005), which he created. He has also said that he wrote in a few Supernatural references as a way of paying tribute, which includes the yellow-eyed demon Azazel.
Mrs. Zimmerman boasts that she once melted Salvador Dalí's watch "right off of his wrist." While the film doesn't elaborate, it's implied that this moment inspired Dali's painting "The Persistence of Memory", famous for its melting clocks.
This is Eli Roth's first film to not be rated R.
