Trivia:
  • The killer in this film is dressed to look exactly the same as the killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
     
  • The odd, abrupt ending in which Paul apparently disappears was not originally scripted, but was a result of actor John Furey quitting the production before his concluding scenes were filmed (in the following sequel it is made clear that Ginny was the sole survivor).
     
  • A shot of the infamous double-impalement was cut to avoid an "X" rating, yet a still of this censored shot appears on the back of the videocassette box.
     
  • This film has one of the longest pre-credit sequences in cinematic history, nearly 15 minutes in some versions.
