| Trivia | The film that Samantha watches on TV whilst babysitting is George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968), a film in the public domain so the filmmakers didn't have to pay rights to use it. See more » |
| Goofs | The rotary phone inside the house has a "516" area code, which is Nassau County, Long Island, NY. There is also an emergency sticker on the phone displaying the real life working phone number for the New Hyde Park Fire Department. New Hyde Park is a suburb on Long Island, NY. However, the film is set in a remote area on the outskirts of an upstate college town. See more » |
