Trivia: In a confusing bit of studio meddling, the producers allegedly forced director Wes Craven to reshoot much of the film and make the murders gorier to appeal to the slasher crowd... and then complained that the movie was "too gory" after he delivered exactly what they asked for.

Trivia: Wes Craven has stated that he was surprised that the film was even watchable, citing that he was going through a nasty divorce, being hit with a false plagiarism lawsuit and had just lost several major directing gigs (including "Beetlejuice") during production, impacting his mental state. He also was dealing with studio-mandated rewrites and reshoots that changed the story drastically from his original vision.
