* ToughActToFollow: None of Zombie's movies since Devil's Rejects have received the critical and audience appreciation that this one did. Halloween and its sequel made way more money than this but they got a mixed to negative reception with all the movies after that being box office and critical disappointments.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Bill Moseley, best known for his LargeHam portrayals from [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2 Chop Top]] to Otis, delivers a truly terrifying performance when he’s about to kill Roy, mocking his attempts to pray to god to strike him down. It was so good many horror fans were disappointed that he didn’t get any sort of recognition at the Academy Awards.
