Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Candace Hilligoss, star of the original 1962 movie, saw it and hated it. She warned that if anyone ever sees the words "A film by Adam Grossman" in the beginning, they should run for the exit. She also blamed producer Wes Craven for putting his "signature crap" all over it, saying he should be "hung up by his thumbs at Hollywood and Vine for fans to stone, because he so devastated the intent of the original." She also thought it was ridiculous that they kept promoting the fact that star Bobbie Phillips was from Showgirls (1995) because that movie was so awful. Hilligoss said she saw Showgirls but didn't remember which "nude" Phillips was. "I didn't recognize her. Maybe because now she has clothes on." See more »
