The film was more or less shot in sequence. The actors would leave the set as their characters got killed.

When the sheriff's car pulls up to the group of students after having been called to respond to the "mass murders" (but what turned out to be nothing more than a fraternity prank), the insignia on his car door says "Cherokee County", yet the patch on his uniform's shoulder says "Cleveland County". Incidentally, those two counties actually do exist in North Carolina where the movie was filmed, but they are geographically a considerable distance apart.

About 1 minute of footage was cut from the German VHS, titled "Examen".
