Trivia
The films trailer was shot years after the movie itself was. It features a scantly-clad young woman in bed talking about how weird things have been lately, while short clips of the movie play. The actress never appears in the actual film though.

Goofs
In the basketball scene at the beginning of the movie the scoreboard shows DeWitt ahead, 73-71, with two seconds on the game clock, before the winning basket was made. The final score of the game was 72-70.

Alternate versions
The UK version is known as The Scaremaker. Even though the film isn't full of gore, it is cut by 16 seconds. Some of the cuts are:
Benson's stabbing is cut, you see him stabbed once before dieing.
The murder of Jane, in the squash court. It shows the bear attack, then cuts to her all bloody, none seen coming out a wound.
Doesn't focus on Jane's body hung up in the shower's.
Trish's death in the Summer House is cut, not as much blood is seen. and
The ending where the killer stabs Teddy, who is trying to help Dawn, it is not seen, so it is left unclear what has happened.

The Scaremaker (1984 - UK Video Title)

Well, I came across this little number in Greenwich at the Exchange shop and although the sleeve was an awfully painted picture that "bears" little to no resemblence to any scene in the film I thought I'd pay the £3 and give it a twirl. I'm glad I did. It's good little slasher flick compared to most of the low budget teen horrors of the time. The plot is a little thin as are the not-so-special effects and the killer's stupid costume, but all this adds to the charm. It's the kind of film you'd get from the video man on a friday night and watch with your cousins. And there's loads of almost familar faces that we've all seen in horror films from the era including "Vicky" from "Friday The 13th Part 2". Watchable if you can actually find this title anywhere anymore.
