What's left behind the scenes
- William Holden (1918-1981) was offered the role of Richard Thorn in the first installment of the franchise, but he refused to appear in a film about the devil and declined the offer. Gregory Peck (1916-2003) was cast instead. The film was a huge success, and Holden eagerly accepted the offer to play the same role in the sequel.
- David Zelzer declined the offer to write the screenplay, as he was not interested in working on sequels. Years later, he stated that if he had agreed to write the sequel's screenplay, it would have begun on the day the plot of Richard Donner's (1930-2021) 'The Omen' (1976) concluded.
- Initially, there were plans to film a third film in the franchise starring Jonathan Scott-Taylor, but the film did not meet expectations, and the idea of making a continuation was abandoned.
- Don Taylor (1920-1998) replaced Mike Hodges as director due to creative differences, but the scenes Hodges had already filmed (at the factory, military school, etc.) were left in the film.
- Students from the North-Western Military Academy of St. John in Delafield, Wisconsin, played the roles of military school students.
- For the scene of the heroine's death, played by Elizabeth Shepard, birdseed was placed in the wig of a stunt double to attract a bird.
