Trivia
When Edward is cutting the neighborhood ladies' hair, the instrumental music playing sounds similar to a medley from Sweeney Todd, though not actually a direct sample. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp later did the actual Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) in 2007.

Snuggle in, sweetie. It's cold out there.

Why is it snowing, Grandma? Where does it come from?

Oh, that's a long story, sweetheart...

Alternate Versions
In order to secure a PG certificate in the UK the cinema version was cut by 8 secs to edit some violence during the climactic fight. A shot of Edward being kicked in the stomach was removed and his beating with the crowbar was reduced from 8 blows to 2. The video/DVD versions feature the same print with the cuts now lengthened to 15 secs. The cuts were fully waived by the BBFC for the upgraded 12-rated 2007 DVD release.
