    • Trivia
      This is Mike Kellin's final film. He was sick during filming, but did his best to conceal it. He died of lung cancer in August 1983, three months before the film's release.
    • Goofs
      The cop at the end of the movie has an obviously fake mustache.
    • Quotes

      Billy: Eat shit and die, Ricky!

      Ricky: Eat shit and live, Bill.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end when all the credits are finished, the freeze-frame of Angela stays onscreen for about 10 more seconds.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1986 UK video was cut by 57 secs by the BBFC with edits to repeated shots of Meg's stabbed corpse. The cuts were restored in the 2004 Anchor Bay DVD.
    • Connections
      Edited into Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor (1992)

    Great American Slasher with an ending you'll never forget

    This is 80's American Cheese at it's greatest! The cast does a great job and the script is actually really good. If you're a fan of cheesy slasher flicks this is one you should certainly check out...and absolutely DO NOT MISS THE ENDING!!!! One of the creepiest endings I've ever seen in a movie which is sure to give anyone the chills. A truly wicked low budget horror flick.
