The main house used in the film did not have air conditioning. On 90+ degree days it got well over 100 degrees inside the house. The heat and humidity was so intense that candles that had never been lit were melting from the high temperatures alone. Cast and crew worked up to 18 hours a day in these conditions.
The films investor passed away in June 2013 which caused the filmmakers to shelve the picture.
Due to budget restrictions and scheduling much of the cast had to be replaced with local talents. This was most frustrating to writer/director Brian Dorton, he says when writing that he had only one actor in mind to play Ethel's aunt and that was Alan Rowe Kelly.
Amanda Jelks was going to play Ethel, but dropped out due to pregnancy.
The special effects crew used real pig parts in the film. They got the idea from Dawn of the Dead 1978.
