HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 24 PICK!!!! DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE WEEK!
DAY 24: THEY CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE TO PARTY!
Return of the Living Dead
Some of the zombie extras were paid more to eat real calf brains in the film. Dan O'Bannon didn't want the actors to do anything he wasn't willing to do and ate some raw calf brains first in front of them.
After the "rabid weasels" are brought into the Resurrection Funeral Home and the tarp is removed, what is actually in the bags are those motorized toy monkeys that have the cymbals. The cymbals were removed for obvious reasons.
The part of Burt was originally offered to Leslie Nielsen who wanted too much money. Then offered to Robert Webber who hated the script. Then they tried Scott Brady who was too sick and actually died a year later. They finally went with Clu Gulager right before the first day of filming.
Night of the Creeps
All the last names of the main characters are based on famous horror and sci-fi directors: George A. Romero (Chris Romero), John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper (James Carpenter Hooper), David Cronenberg (Cynthia Cronenberg), James Cameron (Det. Ray Cameron), John Landis (Det. Landis), Sam Raimi (Sgt. Raimi) and Steve Miner (Mr. Miner - The Janitor).
Grafitti on the wall of the men's room where J.C. is trying to escape a number of slugs reads, "Go Monster Squad!". The Monster Squad (1987) was also directed by Fred Dekker.
The tool shed sequence was filmed after principal shooting on the movie had wrapped. After a rough cut was shown to a test audience, several people thought that the picture needed more action so this particular sequence was added to the movie.

HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 20 PICK!!!! DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE WEEK!
DAY 20: HELL HAS BEEN UNLEASHED UPON US
The Gate
The fictional The Dark Book album that Terry shows to Glen features the logo for (the very real) Canadian thrash metal band Sacrifice.
The logo on the back of Terry's jacket is that of the Killer Dwarfs, a heavy metal band from the Toronto, Ontario area who were known for their offbeat sense of humor.
Stephen Dorff's debut film role.
Warlock
When Julian Sands received the script, he assumed it was in the mold of the then-popular slasher movies, so it sat around for a while before he got around to reading it. Once he finally decided to give it a once-over, he was captivated and quickly became excited about the film.
Screenwriter David Twohy's original conception was that the Warlock was a good-natured man forced flee the 17th century to avoid religious persecution only to find himself similarly persecuted in the 20th century. After working on the script for 2 months, he realized it didn't work and decided to make the character a villain.
In 1995, Saskatchewan teenager Sandy Charles and an unnamed 8 year-old accomplice murdered a 7 year-old boy, cut strips of flesh from his body, boiled and drank it in hopes that, as in the film, it would give them the ability to fly. Charles was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sentenced to stay at the high security Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon, where he has primarily resided since shortly after the murder occurred.

HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 16 PICK!!!!
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".

HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 12 PICK!!!!
DAY 12: IT'S NOT OVER YET.....
Christopher Lee stated in an interview at the time of the film's US release, that his reason for accepting the part was because he had never before appeared in a werewolf movie.
This is the only Howling sequel that directly follows the original film's events, and is also the only Howling film to feature the input of the original novelist, Gary Brandner, despite the fact that this film is not actually based on his 1979 novel, 'The Howling II'.
When Christopher Lee was cast in Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), one of the first things he did was apologize to director Joe Dante (who directed The Howling (1981)) for being in this film.

HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 8 PICK!!!!
DAY 8: THIS IS A HOUSE WHERE NO ONE SHOULD LIVE
According to Fred Dekker, the script was originally inspired by Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). After seeing that film, Dekker and his friends, which included Ethan Wiley, Steve Miner, and Shane Black, planned to make their own independent anthology movie on video. But the project was never completed. Dekker used the idea for his unproduced segment for this film.
The next door neighbor, Harold, is played by George Wendt, best known for his role as Norm on Cheers (1982). His on-screen best friend from Cheers, Cliff the mailman (played by John Ratzenberger), appears in the sequel to this film, House II: The Second Story (1987) as Bill Tanner, the electrician/adventurer.
Glenn Close and Sigourney Weaver were considered for the female lead role.
The For Sale sign at the beginning of the movie has the name of Craven Realty, perhaps a nod to Wes Craven, the legendary horror director.

HORROR, SCI-FI & MORE! PRESENTS ALL HALLOW'S EVE 3D: DAY 4 PICK!!!!
DAY 4: THEY NEVER EXPECTED THEM TO BE SO DEADLY
The original title was 'Rabbits,' but MGM felt the title didn't suit a horror film.
DeForest Kelley's last non-"Star Trek" film.
Posters for the film didn't feature any rabbits. Marketers feared that audiences wouldn't take the film seriously if they found out about the giant killer rabbits too quickly.
Lucky rabbit feet, with red paint ("blood") on the toes, were distributed as a promotion.
