Trivia:
|
- Leaves had to be imported and squash was painted to look like pumpkins.
- After viewing a rough edit it was decided that the movie was too soft, so they brought in special effects wizard John Carl Buechler for one day of extra "blood" filming. The thumb in the forehead and the redneck's head getting twisted were both done by him.
- Alan B. McElroy wrote the script in 11 days and beat the writer's strike by mere hours.
- During production of the roof-top chase Ellie Cornell was injured by a protruding nail as she slid down the roof. After a quick trip to the local hospital Ellie finished the scene with her bandages in place. According to Danielle "it didn't even phase her."
- Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady) of "THE BRADY BUNCH" was the production assistant. His wife played the dead waitress.
