Trivia

According to John Carpenter on the audio commentary for Vampires that director Frank Darabont (who are very closed friends and Frank had a cameo in that film) asked Carpenter to play as a truck driver. Carpenter turned the offer down because he stated that he would only play a character that is about to or is killing someone or he's in bed with a beautiful woman. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the morgue, when Clint is about to be embalmed, his head moves. Earl, the embalmer, says it is just a reflex and that he has seen it before. However, reflexes only occur with brain dead people, not with dead people, which means Earl should have reacted.

Cortland 'Cort' van Owen: Oh great, we've got Jason upstairs and Cujo in the front yard.
