Initially, Fred Walton shot a short film called “The Nanny,” which comprised the first 20 minutes of “When a Stranger Calls” (1979). However, on the wave of success of John Carpenter’s horror film “Halloween” (1978), Walton decided to develop the short film into a feature-length film, and that's what he did.
Tony Beckley, the actor who played Kurt Duncan, was terminally ill during filming, but he was a friend of director Fred Walton, who categorically refused to cast anyone else in the role. He died after filming was completed. In 1993, Walton filmed a sequel to the film and dedicated it to Beckley’s memory.
Initially, the American Film Association unanimously gave the film a PG rating (parental guidance suggested), but this was 5 years before the PG-13 rating (under 13 requires accompanying parent) was introduced. Richard Heffner (1925-2013), Chairman of the Film Association, suggested giving the film an R rating (under 17 requires accompanying parent or legal guardian). The film's subject matter suggested a PG rating, but Heffner stated that few parents would want their children to watch it (even though it isn't shown on screen, a criminal kills two children with his bare hands at the beginning of the film), and the film was given an R rating.
