noticed that one character, "Mom" Pendanski, had a last name that was

warden over the telephone about how one of the kids encountered a

Coincidence? Pretty certainly. But a cool one, I'll grant. Also, IIRC, Pendansky even described his name in rather lujvoid terms, explaining that it is pronounced "pen-dance-key". That might not be in the movie, I don't remember for sure. But it's in the book. (I decided to read the book after seeing the movie; a little disappointing in that it was hardly different at all).
