Trivia
Originally written to feature Conrad Brooks as Maxwell Selwyn. The role was recast three times and the majority of the film was completed before Ryan Stocking took the part.

Quotes
Maxwell Selwyn: [while telling them of a vampire antidote] Well, there are some side effects
Steve: What kind?
Maxwell Selwyn: [holds up a poorly carved vampire stake] Death.
Bob: Thank God, I thought you were going to say stick. I'd rather die than be a stick.

Alternate versions
The original DVD version ran 74 minutes. In 2010, director Justin Channell went back and re-edited the film, cutting the film down to 62 minutes. Among the things excised were several bits of dialogue and the entire romantic subplot of the story. However, some scenes were expanded or feature alternate takes and an entirely different ending. This version is expected to be released sometime in 2010.
