Movie Trivia:
  • The location used for the mall was the Dallas International Market. The crew would shoot over night in the building after it closed at 7pm but would have to wrap up and be out by opening at 7am the next morning. So each night shoot at the location would have to be done in 12 hour increments.
  • Some of the early scenes at the mental hospital were not actually shot by director Larry Stewart. Another director was originally attached to the film but the production got off to a rough start as shooting fell behind schedule and the budget started to be exceeded. Producers brought in director Larry Stewart to replace the original director on the film.
  • The first feature starring role for Daphne Zuniga.
  • Film debut of Hunter Tylo.
  • SPOILER: Actor Christopher Bradley (Chad) said there was a great deal of difficulty shooting his death scene makeup. The plastic appliance that was suppose to attach to his throat wasn't sticking properly and time was running out as it was nearing time for the crew to be out of the location. This only allotted the film one shot of the actor with his throat cut, which is why it's used more than once in the film.
