    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some of the more explicit gore in the first segment had to be toned down in order to secure an R rating from the MPAA.
    • Goofs
      In many of the bedroom scenes, daylight appears to be streaming in through the window. Uncle Mike previously complained how late it was.
    • Quotes

      Uncle Mike: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named "Rachel." Actually, she wasn't all that little. She was a hot-looking high school senior with deep blue eyes, and fine, firm breasts and...

      Little Brian: That's not the way Mommy tells it!

      Uncle Mike: Shut up, that's the way I tell it.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are presented as pages in an ancient storybook and it's being turned by a human male hand and it transitions to monstrous hands.
    • Alternate versions
      In the UK, approximately 29 seconds were cut to secure an "18" rating. These included some alternate shots of Goldi naked in the shower and a scene where she telekinetically impales a man with a pole.

    Seen much better Anthology horror films than this. Worth a watch but do not get your hopes up.

    Bongzilla should make an appearance prior to watching.
