Production

Wynorski later recalled "Corey Haim was a nice kid who was totally fucked up in the head. You could see the path he was going down even then. I wish I could have turned him around. But I had to have a paid babysitter with him all the time. Believe it or not, he had to have a babysitter. The kid was in his early 20s and still didn’t have it figured out yet."{{cite web|url=https://biggayhorrorfan.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/interview-jim-wynorski/|title=Interview with Jim Wynorski|date=17 October 2014|website=Big Gay Horror Fan}}
