    • Goofs
      (at around 23 mins) When Stanley pours the champagne for himself and Grace at the funeral home, he is seen draining his glass. The next shot of the glass shows it filled again, and he never refilled it.
    • Quotes
      • Julian White: One thing I've learned, my dear, is that one is never too old for nightmares.
    • Crazy credits
      Near the end of the credits, we are told "WHEN IN TENNESSEE VISIT OLDFIELD". Oldfield is not a real town.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1987 UK video release was cut by 1 min 45 secs by the BBFC with extensive cuts to scenes depicting violence or gore in front of children. Among the edits were stabbing and strangling scenes, and shots of children playing with severed human limbs.
