The budget was 4,000 dollars.
All of Tom Myers's scenes as The Pastor were filmed in one day due to time constraints. As a result, three scenes were cut from the filming. In one scene, The Pastor and Rory (Ian Carmona) talk as Rory picks up Sam (Christian Adams) to take him to school. In another scene, The Pastor discovers Rory with Sam's dead body. Later in the movie, The Pastor is fighting with Art (Bart Debicki) in the cave as The Pastor is about to kill Rory.
Because scenes outside Sam's house where the filming was taking place had the name "Wilson" on the mailbox, Tom Myers's character was tentatively named "Pastor Wilson."
