Against the director Lewis Teague's wishes, the studio cut out a prologue that explained the cat's motivations. They considered it "too silly." As a result, many viewers were confused by the connection between the three stories.
The Police song "Every Breath You Take" is heard in a few places. Since the original version was too expensive for this low-budget production, a cover version was used.
There are several references to other Stephen King works: James Woods watches The Dead Zone (1983) and inquires, "Who writes this crap?" The cat is chased by a foaming and bloodied St. Bernard, a reference to Cujo (1983) which was also directed by Lewis Teague. The cat is almost run over by a red Plymouth Fury with a bumper sticker saying, "Watch out for me. I am pure evil. I am Christine.", a reference to Christine (1983). Amanda's mother Sally Ann is reading Stephen King's 1983 novel "Pet Sematary" in bed.
The Stephen King short story "Sometimes They Come Back" (1991) was originally planned to be adapted as a segment in this movie, but Dino De Laurentiis felt the story was strong enough to have its own movie (Sometimes They Come Back (1991)).
Stephen King wrote this script with Drew Barrymore in mind because the producer Dino De Laurentiis was impressed by her performance in Firestarter (1984).
"Sally Ann: Polly got in one good peck before that cat killed her. Good for Polly! Hugh: I certainly never realized that Polly had such a big pecker."
"Johnny Norris: [to the pigeon pecking at his ankle] You flying shit house!"
