The original script was written with Winona Ryder in mind for the role of Sue Ellen Crandell. But she turned it down as she was working on both Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Mermaids (1990). Justine Bateman was later cast as Sue Ellen but left the project. Christina Applegate was cast after her Married... with Children (1987) costar Ed O'Neill, who was friends with a producer of the film, gave her the script.
Production nearly stopped towards the end of shooting when Christopher Pettiet's drug addiction was getting out of control. The producers cut a few of his scenes to keep the film on schedule.
Keith Coogan was told he was too old to play 15-year-old Kenny. He was 20, which was 22 months older than his co-star Christina Applegate. He came back to the audition in "stoner apparel" and a wig, and got the part.
In one of the earlier script drafts, the babysitter's death was supposed to be a more elaborate storyline: the Crandell children were all suspects, and they all had reasons to kill her. Although certain scenes were scaled down, elements of their motives remain in the final cut of the film: Walter having to do a book report, Melissa forced to wear a dress, Zack losing Cynthia.
In 2020, Danielle Harris (Melissa) said this is the only movie she's made that she'll actually watch if it's on TV.
"[repeated line] Sue Ellen "Swell" Crandell: I'm right on top of that, Rose."
"[after being told to do the dishes, and using them as clay pigeons] Kenny Crandell: Dishes are DONE, man."
