In addition to being directed by future horror legend Wes Craven, the original film has the notable distinction of being produced by a then-unknown Sean S. Cunningham, who went on to create the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series 8 years later.[[note]] He produced and directed [[Film/FridayThe13th1980 the original film]], and later returned as a series producer in 1993 after the franchise was bought by Creator/NewLineCinema[[/note]] Ironically, Craven would eventually become best known as the creator of the ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series, the ''Friday'' franchise's chief rival.

Not a good example


** Also when Phyllis and Mari follow the obviously extremely weird boy, who they barely know and admit later that they thought he was creepy to begin with, to his dingy hotel room to buy drugs from him. Not to mention the fact that he is underage so there is no way that he rented the room by himself.

trope is for when the child dies first, it seems in this version she did not die.


* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Imagine thinking your daughter is just hanging out with her best friend, only to later find her on your front porch, naked, brutalized, and barely alive. Now add the fact that earlier, you unwittingly let the people who did this to her into your house.

* MamaBear: Estelle Collingwood. He quite willingly helps tear the people that killed her daughter apart.
* MonsterMisogyny: Though the villains stumbled upon having Mari and her friend, they're quite excited about having them around considering all the "fun" they can have with them, with Weasel wasting no time getting around to raping Phyllis. In the remake, Krug makes note of how innocent and beautiful the two girls are, explaining that he'd "hate for anything to happen to them". Considering what ''does'' happen to them later, it sure sounds like Krug is invoking the trope.

Rewritten to be less of a conversation.


* MoodWhiplash: Okay, Mr. Craven. Please explain why, when the rest of the movie is deathly serious and disturbing, you chose to have the cops be ''comic relief?!?'' And why do you have Krug ''going moo?!?'' Was it to make the movie less frightening for your audience so they won't be fainting? Because to some people, you really overdid it!
