Director Tom McLoughlin took home some props from the film, including Jason's tombstone - which sits outside his house, made to look like Jason is buried in his yard - and his casket, which sits in his garage. The DVD box set includes a scene in which he shows off these props at his home and tells of how a city employee refused to enter his yard to read the meter because he thought a body was really buried there.
Aside from Alice, who has a minor role in the second film as well as the starring role in the first, Tommy Jarvis is the only recurring protagonist in the series, albeit played by three different actors.
Crew member Dan Bradley played Jason on the first day of shooting, which is why Jason's build in the paintball scenes are different. This is also why Jason's eye color changes during the film. Paramount had seen the first day's rushes and asked that Jason be recast, feeling that Bradley looked too bulky for the role. Therefore Graham was given the part.
The first and only film in the series - including New Line Cinema's three "Jason" films and the 2009 reboot - to feature absolutely no nudity, although there is one sex scene. Reportedly, writer-director Tom McLoughlin had approached actress Darcy DeMoss about appearing topless in her sex scene (she refused) but admitted later he felt uncomfortable about suggesting such a thing but had tried to appease his producers, who felt that the hardcore audience had come to expect it. It is also the lowest earning film in the franchise, though the two factors very likely aren't connected.
Years after the release of this film, Kevin Williamson told director Tom McLoughlin that this film had a huge influence on him growing up and helped inspire him to write his meta slasher film Scream (1996).
"Lizabeth: I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly."
"Tyen: You know what I think? I think we're dead meat. [a little later on, after hearing Megan screaming] Tyen: REAL dead meat. Billy: So, what were you gonna be when you grew up?"
