5 Facts About The Final Girls Horror Movie That Will Make You Scream [ Review ]

When the characters are sucked into "Camp Bloodbath", it was scripted that they stepped into "a Technicolor world." The writers were initially horrified when they showed up on location and discovered that the crew had taken their words literally and decorated the forest with colorful artificial flowers.
The Girl Scout camp where the bulk of the film was shot didn't have a cabin large enough to accommodate the camera-crane required for the elaborate booby trap sequence, so the crew had to erect it from scratch. There wasn't money in the budget to tear it down, so the cabin was built structurally sound enough to be utilized by the camp after filming was completed.
Nancy and Tina, two of the lead girls in "Camp Bloodbath", were named after Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) and Christina "Tina" Gray (Amanda Wyss) in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
The original script was written with an R rating in mind, but it was requested to be made into a PG-13 film. Todd Strauss-Schulson fought hard for his take on the film but was later pleased with the final result.
The film was conceived and co-written by Joshua John Miller as a way of dealing with the death of his dad, Jason Miller, who had starred as Father Karras in The Exorcist (1973).
