Was filmed partially in the city of West, TX, just outside of Waco, TX.
One of the characters is said to carry around holy water and a cross. If a planned sequel ever happened, Joel Taylor intended for Edger to get bitten by a werewolf and fight off a hoard of zombies - hence the setting of the "haunted bayou."
Based on Joel Taylor's internet show featuring the same lead character - Edger Rece' Bureaux.
Joel Taylor got into character each day by listening to tape recordings of his family members.
