In an earlier draft of the script, Lucas burst into a ball
of flame after he ran out the door.
-
Lucas's killers were originally supposed to spin their heads
around in a faster than possible movement, but the effect
looked silly and was cut.
-
All of the night scenes were actually shot in the middle of
the day and then altered to appear as night in post-production.
-
Scenes with Mary in the graveyard at the end and the shot
of her running away at the dam were reshot almost three months
later.
-
During the first take of the reshoot of the running shot at
the dam, Beth lost her sandals and it went tumbling down into
the Cape Fear River. Producer M. Wilson spent the next 20
minutes fishing it out with a stick.
-
The directors conciously tried to do product placement, so
beer bottle labels always face the camera, no matter which
angle they are at. Because apparently demons love the Canadian
taste of Labatt Blue.
-
The bleeding notebook in the jail was actually shot months
later with the hands of the producers and one of the directors
squeezing chocolate syrup and food coloring from a chocolate
syrup bottle through straws taped together under the piece
of paper.
-
The paper in the notebook is actually script pages from "The
Grim Order" and "Blue", another episode that
was shooting at the time.
-
When Caleb's girlfriend begins crying off camera, it is actually
the vocal stylings of a stunt crier as the original actress
was no longer available.

-
After Mary shoots Simon, she would have to run right past
the bouncer, but apparently this poses no problem for her.
-
When Mary runs past Caleb and Marcius at the dam, she loses
her gun and her hair grows a streak of blue.
-
The trees at the dam mysterious lose and regain foliage.
-
The symbol of the Grim Order is missing on Caleb's hands while
he is in jail.
