The original plot called for the teens to get stranded on a deserted island. This idea was scrapped after filming conditions in Acworth, Georgia were unbearable and the script re-written to feature an abandoned car in Appalachia.
The Pigman mask was a one-of-a-kind creation by Etsy designer Marc Dahlquist of Left For Dead Designs.
The Pigman goes through two masks in this film.
Whilst filming in Acworth, Georgia, the crew and cast were harassed by numerous locals in the black of night.
The finale scene of Elma fleeing from the Pigman was shot in sub-freezing conditions.
