- Said in an interview that he keeps the Jason Voorhees tombstone from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) in his backyard, and people have often mistaken it for an actual tombstone. One such misconception occurred when the meter man refused to go into Tom's backyard and read the gas meter because he thought there was actually somebody buried there.
- Still owns the Jason Voorhees tombstone seen in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), which he wrote and directed. This same tombstone can also be seen on the teaser trailer for the film.
- Studied mime in Paris with Marcel Marceau.
- The hands you see opening the coffin lid at the beginning of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) are his hands, due to the film's lead actor Thom Mathews not being available that day.
- The son of a magician and a former mime.
- [on why he didn't cast himself as Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th 6", which McLoughlin wrote and directed] At Dark Delicacies in Burbank, I tripped over a fan who recognized me as S.T.A.R. from "The Black Hole". According to him, I did such a fine job in that one, I should have portrayed Jason seven years later. But Paramount wanted somebody taller than me, and *much* more imposing. So they went with C.J. Graham.
