Trivia

  • The movie had been filmed but sat unedited for almost 3 years before finally being "completed".
  • Only 2/3 of the film had been shot and edited into the final product, resulting in the numerous plot holes and confusing scenes.
  • In the original script, when people were killed, they would return as zombies. The idea was scrapped after a big scene where the zombies attack the house had been cut from the film. A few elements of the zombie theme can still be seen in the film, notably with the appearances of Zombie Bob, Boyer, and Nate.
  • The character of Joe was originally killed in the tool shed by the Killer, only to come back as a good zombie to help Cat and Sarah. His death was cut after the zombies were removed from the storyline. His original death scene can be seen on the DVD as a bonus feature.
  • There were close to 7 drafts of the screenplay during production as different people became available/unavailable. Different characters were condensed down into one to help compensate for the changing script.
