The subplot about the pedophile ring was invented for the film and not present in the original short story. Perhaps it could be seen as a nod to John Ajvide Lindqvist's earlier novel "Let the Right One In", which included a subplot about pedophiles which was omitted from the film adaptation.

The idea of trolls being "chased by lightning" and having a fear of thunder is a left over from the pagan times of Scandinavia. In the pagan belief the thunder god, Thor, would hunt giants and kill them with a strike of his hammer, i.e. a lightning strike. In later folklore this lived on as various evil creatures like trolls and werewolves being afraid of thunder.
