Awsome thread! Possibly my favorite film or certainly top 5.
Im not sure if there is going to be much out there, but I have got a copy of the script stamped revised draft 1988.
Its great to see some of the differences between what was written and what was shot.

Yeah classic... been to the street @ universal
one prop on yourprops.com:
'burbs, The (1989), Hans Klopek's (Coutney Gains) screen used hat from The 'Burbs, original / screen-used
Tim
Ha ha, yeah that's a good line, right after eh said nnnnno! (I think)
That's the only prop I could see, found and interesting article about the street at Universal's Backlot where The Burbs was shot, must see if I can find it again...
Did you know it's the same street Desperate Housewives is now shot in?, and a fair bit of it is still the same, Rumsfield's house is the house from Deep Impact and also Suzan Meyer's house in DH... played by Terri Hatcher of course! Speaking of which, I know it's not the right place but anyone here interested in owning a BIG film reel of Tomorrow Never dies? 35mm Cinema Reel...
Get digging folks, see what's out there from The Burbs, I wonder where the spire from the Klopeks house ended up (apart from through a cop car)

I found it, here's the link;
the studiotour.com - Universal Studios Hollywood - Colonial Street
It's called Colonial Street... Universal Back Lot..
Check it out, if you click on each house it gives a bit of history about each.. Rumsfeild's house has practically stayed the same since the burbs apart from some minor changes to the windows... right up to present day.
Seems they moved "Walters" home out of the way to connect the street up with what's known as Circular Drive... and that house is also still the very same... I think it's "Katherine's" house in DH
Anyway, interesting history about the street on there...

I've considered having a Blurbs party and serving big chunks of onions on toothpicks. Love that scene and love that movie.
Ha ha yeah Rumsfield's here, nice avatar!
The Burbs? - Evolution of a house!
OK, So I came across these on that site (all courtesy of a guy called universalstonecutter)...
The Klopek House after filming The Burbs (note the Garage in left hand side)
The Klopek House in "Leave It To Beaver" (again see the Garage)
The Klopek House remodelled as it is now, see how the Garage has survived!
I think there's more photo's of it before The Burbs, was called the Marcus Welby house, but think that was moved to storage so The Klopek house could be built... anyway just thought I'd share that!
Oh and just while I'm on the subject of houses, here's the REAL Amityville House (not the movie set house, the actual house it all started from)

Never seen or heard of any props from the movie, but I have studio blueprints of all the houses.

I've never seen that...
I've never seen someone drive their garbage to the curb and then beat the hell out of it.
I- I've never seen that.
