Was one of the first films to be labeled as a "Video Nasty" in England.
Director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell were friends from high-school, where they made many super-8 films together.
They would often collaborate with Sam's brother Ted Raimi. Campbell became the "actor" of the group, as "he was the one that girls wanted to look at."
The first opening sequence of the evil moving over the pond, is actually Bruce Campbell pushing Sam Raimi in a dingy whilst he films the shot.
As the car is driving up to the cabin at the beginning of the movie, instead of Teresa Seyferth, it's Sam Raimi you see from "Shelly's" window.
