After an accident involving a horse and carriage, Ernest Borgnine was taken to the hospital with a head injury. He resumed filming three days later.
The film is famous for the scene where a spider falls into a girl's mouth (Lana). Sharon Stone, who was then unknown to the general public, played her and, incidentally, starred in many of the film's posters. Director and screenwriter Wes Craven began trying to convince Stone to hold the spider herself. She demanded that the spider's chelicerae (its fangs) be removed first. They tried to dissuade her with the argument that it would be extremely difficult for the spider to feed afterwards, but she insisted.
The scene with the creature emerging from the floor was imposed on Wes Craven by the film's producers (Max A. Keller, Matthew Barr, Glenn M. Benest, William S. Gilmore, Patricia Herskovitz).
