Upon the film's success, Twisted Pictures greenlit both a ninth and tenth installment for the series.
As part of a traditional blood drive, each person that would donate blood at specific locations during specific times would receive a free ticket to see this film. This started on October 10, 2017 and ran until October 25, 2017.
Billy The Puppet appears in an alternative form in the film, bearing neon eyes that are a more polished porcelain visage.
The film was specifically written as a way to minimize on the torturous and extreme violence of the previous series installments, instead opting for a feeling of claustrophobia, along with gloss and style.
The red helix coils of "The Spiralizer" are patterned after the red cheek swirls of Billy The Puppet.
