    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to director Jim Makichuk the film's money started to run out during production, so rather than cancel the production altogether he decided to abandon the remaining script and make things up as he went along, hoping to at least retain the film's creepy atmosphere. He said this explains the released film's rather uneven, incoherent sections, and sparse use of the plot's monster.
    • Goofs
      The trio of hikers wonders why it's so warm inside the hotel, yet you can clearly see their breath in every shot.
    • Quotes
      • Marty: Some authentic country rustic. When's the whittlin' start?
    • Alternate versions
      An alternate introduction was filmed two years after the movie's completion by its distributors. The scene shows a young man running through the woods away from the hotel, who is then stabbed with a wooden stake against a tree. This alternate introduction appeared on some home video releases in Europe and Canada. The alternate introduction is not featured on the 1986 U.S. VHS release of "GHOSTKEEPER" from 'New World Video'.
