The film took 9 long months to shoot because of the "Floods of 94," a downpour of rain that lasted nearly 4 months, delaying the shoot substantially.
The original ending was removed from the final release. This ending has Tommy's little sister finding the Living Corpse tape and playing the song, thus starting everything all over again.
The movie originally had a different actor who played Johnny, which was the featured character in this version. Several scenes were shot before the script was re-written and characters swapped around, placing Brad as the main male lead.
Brad and Angel were not the original stars of Death Metal Zombies.
