    • Trivia
      The original version of the movie was shot in 1981, and it clocked in at around 65 minutes. Additional scenes with students were filmed in 1982 to pad out the running time.
    • Goofs
      The graffiti the teacher writes on the bathroom stall was already there in a previous shot.
    • Quotes
      • Mrs. Bloom: The other tenants have been complaining about the front door being left open. I don't really blame them, with all the kooks running around killing people they don't even know. You know it seems to me if you are going to kill someone you at least know them real well.
    • Alternate versions
      For the UK version, submitted to the BBFC in 1986 as "Campus Killings", the film has been cut by one second.
