Due to his job, actor BJ Floyd was forced to shave off his beard before filming of the "Ghost Car" segment could be completed. Close-ups and odd angles were used to hide this for the most part until enough of it grew back.
In the "Ghost Car" segment all the detectives are named after famous baseball players from the 80's. Trammell (Alan Trammell), Yount (Robin Yount), Butler (Brett Butler), and Puckett (Kirby Puckett).
The video store segments were filmed inside a real video store, Northside Video, located in McMinnville Tennessee. The real video store owner, David Willaims, played the clerk, Louis.
The shot on video segments was originally intended to really be shot on video.
Due to a miscue during the "Dingus of Death" segment, Korey Jordan (who was playing the monster) broke a glass that flew over actor Ryan Grooms' head while he was blowing smoke for the smoke effect off camera. The glass miraculously missed Grooms and impaled the wall behind him. In the following scene after that, Jordan injured his knee tossing Grooms over the table. It was just the start of a grueling shoot that didn't end until 4 a.m. and saw a few minor injuries on set. The scene was also shot with director Chuck Conry having laryngitis and an upper respiratory infection.
