Quiz
Gwynne Gilford was pregnant during filming and the production team had to hide her stomach in most of the shots. That baby is now actor Chris Pine.

Blooper
As Moriarty and Officer Oshenbull are racing to stop Eric near the film's ending, their police car changes briefly from a 1975-78 Plymouth Fury to a 71-76 Chevrolet Impala, only to change back once they arrive to the scene.

Citazioni
[first lines]
Aunt Stella Binford: [cynical tone] Eric! Get up! Well, lookie here. Mister Smart Mouth fell asleep with his nose buried in the screen again! Your one-eyed monster is gonna soften your eyes, much less rot your brain! You spend all your time daydreaming and watching those silly movies on the TV and on your projector.

Versioni alternative
Vernon Zimmerman's original cut of this film was much closer to a two hour running time. Word came down from the offices of American Cinema Releasing that he was to shorten the running time of the film to about 90 minutes in order to save on lab, printing, and shipping costs for the physical release prints. He and ACR compromised and met in the middle, with a final running time of around 1hour and 42minutes for the release prints. This means that approximately 20 minutes of the film was cut out, making for a couple choppy transitions. - A scene in which more of the character "Marilyn O'Connor" (Linda Kerridge) has her backstory explained.
A scene in which "Marilyn O'Connor" (Linda Kerridge) and "Joey" (a sleazy photographer played by Peter Horton) go on a very awkward date that does not end well.
A scene in which Eric Binford (Dennis Christopher) dressed as Count Dracula enters and lurks around in a Punk music club as the band SID TERROR'S UNDEAD performs the song "I Was A Teenage Vampire" on stage.
A scene after (SPOILER AHEAD) Eric Binford (Dennis Christopher) is shot on the roof of the famous Graumann's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. and falls to the ground, landing on the hand-prints of Marilyn Monroe in the cement of the Chinese Theater forecourt. Marilyn O'Connor (Linda Kerridge) rushes down from the roof and Eric's final image of her is as Marilyn Monroe in Angel form, taking him to Heaven. He dies in her arms. FADE TO BLACK. Cut to: Early the next morning, workers have a high pressure hose aimed at the ground, spraying water to wash away Eric's blood and chalk crime scene body outline. One worker complains about the mess not washing away, the other answers "Turn up the pressure on the hose, the blood will wash away, it always does", hinting that this has happened many times before.
Other short scenes are also removed, but these are most of the main ones.

A sad Character study of a young man who loses touch with reality

There are three types of horror films 1.the scary horror film (designed as you would think to scare you. 2.The black comedy (Its meant to be funny, but not everyone will find this true. Third and last are the dramatic horror films, they play like a drama film except they are much darker and usually have something to do with mental illnesses. This movie is of the third kind, It is a sad character study of a young man called Eric who spends all his time watching movies and finding out trivia about them. He has no apparent friends and he lives with his wheelchair bound aunt, who really is at odds with him. The film is very original and has a incredible lead performance from the actor playing Eric. They cops on the other hand are all really badly done, I just couldnt wait till they left the screen and every time they appeared again I grimly waited for there departure. Most of the other actors do quite a good job in this film and it also sports a young Mickey Rouke in what I think was his first film role. I would recommend this film only to horror fans, The film references, the characters and the direction are all tuned to giving any horror fan a good time for their money. Its not for everyone. But thats what I liked about it.
