Some of the book translates as "Sam and Rob are the hitchhikers on the road", a reference to Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert playing the two men on the side of the road at the beginning of the film.
The cabin did not actually have a cellar. The cellar scenes were filmed in Raimi's garage. For the scene where the students descend into the cellar, a hole was cut into the floor, a shallow hole was dug, and a ladder was placed into the pit.
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.
