- TriviaPackaged as an extra on the Region 2 release of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes (1977).
- Quotes
Wes Craven: I think there is something about the "American Dream", the sort of Disneyesque dream if you will of the beautifully trimmed front lawn, the white picket fence, mom and dad and their happy children, god fearing and doing good whenever they can; that sort of expectation, and the flipside of it, the kind of anger and the sense of outrage that comes from discovering that that's not the truth of the matter, I think that gives American horror films in some ways kind of an additional rage...
- Alternate versionsDespite being shown uncut on BBC TV the version released in the UK, as part of The Hills Have Eyes 2-disc by Anchor Bay, was cut by 14 secs by the BBFC. This was to remove scenes from _Last House on the Left, The (1972)_ which had previously been cut by the BBFC.
- ConnectionsFeatures Dracula (1931)
Although listed as a Canadian production, I think they got a lot of information and footage from Pittsburgh (George Romero, Tom Savini, and some new footage of the Monroeville Mall). Anyway, it's good information about some of my favorite films of all time. WATCH IT. It'll make you want to rent Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Shivers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween and watch them until your eyes bleed...
