Director Jeffrey Delman originally wanted the songs "Surfin' Bird" and "Walkin' on the Rain" for use in the film's third story, but the rights to the songs were too expensive.

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...

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

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.

User Reviews

NOT BAD...

I enjoyed this movie,for a horror film it can pass as good.A little boy can't sleep,so his uncle tells him three scary bedtime stories.My favorate was little red riding hood,about a murderer that stalks this girl after briefly meeting her in a store.When she gets home she finds her grandmother murdered,and "Oh what big teeth you half!"she says.I thought the first and third story were boring.Scott Valentine stars in this movie and he's done alot better.He played Nick on family ties.Catherine De Prume played Goldi Lox.Like I said,this movie can pass for a good film.A little strange,but don't let that ruin your fun.Does anyone know why Michael Mesmer who played Uncle Mike has never made any other movies?
