Trivia

When Largo Entertainment approach John Carpenter with this project, they gave him two scripts, one by Don Jakoby and another by Dan Mazur. Carpenter read the scripts and the novel and saw a potential in the movie that he had been interested in. And that was to do a western disguised as a horror film. So, Carpenter wrote his own screenplay, taking elements from both Jakoby's and Mazur's scripts, the novel, and some of his own ideas. However, Jakoby got solo writing credit. See more »
