Trivia
At the beginning, Taylor is standing in front of the Red Rabbit Pub. This is a reference to the Red Rabbit matchbook found by Dr. Loomis in Halloween (1978).

Goofs
At the beginning of the film, a title says "Glen Echo, Maryland." Later, a microfiche copy of the local newspaper says "Glen Echo, Oregon."

Quotes
Jamie: I'll tell you: never hang out with a virgin. You got a virgin in your crew, either get somebody in her pants or get the hell away from her.
Eugene: Aside from that, the simple answer is: run like a motherfucker and don't stop till the sun comes up.

Crazy credits
The Credits say "Only one animal was killed during production" as a spoof of the normal practice of saying that no animals were killed during production.

A diamond in the rough

I must say this film was great. I'm not typically one to watch movies that are both Comedy and Horror. But this was definitely a standout film in the Comedy Horror genre. I would recommend Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon to horror film buffs especially. Being a horror movie buff myself, I found that this flick really put the classic slasher films to good use. They formed a sort of method to the slasher's madness and I have to say I loved that. I also appreciated the slight twist at the ending. I would love to see another film like this to be created. It is definitely worth the watch. Although if you are prone to motion sickness, it may be triggered by the moments where a hand-held camera is used. Other than that, I highly recommend the movie!
