My Boyfriend's Back picture

Trivia: The film's title is derived from the 1963 song of the same name. Ironically, even though the song was featured in the movie's trailers, it wasn't featured in the film itself. Additionally, the title is a bit of a misnomer, as the two romantic leads weren't in a relationship until the very end of the film, so Johnny wasn't technically Missy's boyfriend when he came back from the grave.

Man's Best Friend picture

Trivia: When Max is chasing the cat, the scene was accomplished by training the cat and dog together so they'd be comfortable. The cat was being trained to run towards a toy, while the dog was trained to run towards a trainer making hand signals a short distance away from the cat-toy. If you pay very close attention, there's actually one point in the scene where you can tell that they're running in ever-so-slightly different directions.

Freaked picture

Trivia: With a final production budget of $13 Million, "Freaked" was a boxoffice disaster, grossing just under $30,000 in two theatres. Due to studio shake-ups at 20th Century Fox, the film's post-production budget had been cut and its advertising campaign was cancelled. After a number of bad test screenings, the movie was pulled from nationwide release, finally going to VHS in early 1994. Nonetheless, the film gained almost immediate cult status, which it retains to this day.
