Trivia:
The picture of Galwyn in his human form (before being turned into a mushroom) that Eunice St. Clair shows to Harry Potter Jr. is in reality a caricature of the film's director, John Carl Buechler. moreGoofs:

This is a great movie to watch with your friends when bored. Troll is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but for some reason I continue to watch it because it is so bad that it's funny.
Amazingly enough, several celebrities are in this film: Sonny Bono is in it (which gives this film a "seal of quality") and he turns into this disgusting booger-like pod, Julia Louis-Dryfus turns into a nymph, and June Lockhart is the creepy old lady who knows everything.
Favorite parts: When the mushroom starts singing and when the midget gets turned into the Troll's "brother" and becomes this puppet that whimpers like a puppy.
I think they wrote the plot as they filmed it. The boy chases his sister out of their apartment on the first floor, but in the next shot they are running from the second floor and bump into their own parents as their door opens and they run out to get the children(?). Also, these parents have no problems with their kids spending their days with total strangers.
