    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      A mixture of red and blue food coloring mixed with caramel syrup was used for the fake blood, which contrary to most film "blood," actually looks real.
    • Goofs
      In the graveyard scene, Phyllis underwear is visible. They are pink, patterned with flowers. A few minutes later, her underwear is seen again, but this time is blue with a different flower pattern.
    • Quotes
      • Estelle Collingwood: Mari tells me you're from Manhattan. What does your father do?
      • Phyllis Stone: Oh, my parents are in the iron and steal business.
      • Estelle Collingwood: Iron and steel both together? How unusual.
      • Phyllis Stone: Well, my mother irons and my father steals.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening text: "The events you are about to witness are true. Names and locations have been changed to protect those individuals still living."
    • Alternate versions
      The 1982 British release on the Replay video label omitted the scene where the sheriff and the deputy try to hitch a ride on Ada's chicken wagon, and the end credits were missing - though the now familiar 'freeze frames' of the principal actors appear, no credits are superimposed over them, and the final song continues to play over a completely black screen. In terms of gore and violence, the print Replay used was uncut.
