DAY 16: ZIP YOURSELF IN TIGHT!
In "The Gas Station", as Bill is watching TV, the anchorman mentions a body was found in Haddonfield, a reference to John Carpenter's earlier film, Halloween (1978).
The scene where Stacy Keach unwraps his long hair in front of the mirror was done in a single take.
Clive Barker was asked to play a role, but had to decline said part because he was busy at the time.
This film features many great horror directors that act and/or direct. John Carpenter director of Halloween (1978) plays "The Coroner" and introduces each segment as well as directs two of the stories, "The Gas Station" and "Hair", Tobe Hooper director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) plays "Morgue Worker # 2" and directs the last segment, "The Eye", Wes Craven director of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) plays "Pasty-Faced Man" at the gas station, Sam Raimi director of The Evil Dead (1981) plays "Dead Bill", and Roger Corman plays Dr. Bregman in the segment "Eye".
