Storyline

- TriviaThough no one involved in the film's creative process has ever given an on-record interview about the genesis for the movie, it apparently began as a novel. A book released around the same time as the movie under the title "Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker" is far more complex than a simple novelization. It includes vivid physical descriptions of the characters that often differ greatly from the actors' onscreen appearance, as well as in-depth backstories for several characters, including secondary characters who receive little screen time. The book also leaves it a mystery until far later in the narrative as to what happened to Billy's parents, and also continues on past the movie's ending, wrapping up the stories of several characters whose fates are not addressed in the film's epilogue.
- GoofsWhen aunt is tenderizing meat, it changes from not being tenderized to tenderized and back to not being tenderized between shots.

Irresistibly Twisted
An irresistibly twisted performance from Susan Tyrrell makes this an indispensable movie for fans of 80's slasher horror. Although the crazed, overprotective mother theme has been tried before and several times after, this one stands out for its unique approach to just how deep that maternal insanity can go.
