| Trivia | The police officer taking pictures during the final sequence was an actual sheriffs officer from the Rutherfordton country sheriffs department who was asked to join in to make it "more realistic." See more » |
| Goofs | At the start of the film, a couple get killed. When their dead bodies are shown again later, it's obvious that they're dolls. They float on water in scenes during the carnival, and when a girl swims at night. See more » |
