What's left behind the scenes
- Don Coscarelli said in an interview that he wanted to embody death itself in Verzile.
- Don Coscarelli’s mother worked on costumes and makeup.
- The initial runtime of the film was 3 hours.
- The film contains several references to Frank Herbert's book "Dune," for example, a bar named "Dune."
- Don Coscarelli's and Reggie Bannister's parents appeared in the funeral scene.
- The roles of the gnomes were played by children.
- The film's screenplay was written in three weeks by Don Coscarelli in seclusion at his mountain cabin.
- The film was shot using Panavision cameras. To save money allocated to him by his father for filming (around $300,000), Coscarelli rented expensive equipment on Fridays, used it on weekends, and returned it on Monday, paying only for one working day of rental.
- The interiors of the funeral home were built inside an old warehouse along with Paul Pepperman – the film's co-producer and a long-time friend of Coscarelli. The exterior of the house was filmed in Oakland, California, at an old Victorian mansion that was also used for the horror film "Burnt Offerings" (1976) and for one of the James Bond series, "A View to a Kill" (1985).
- Scrimm was 193 cm tall. To appear even taller while filming as the character of Tall Man, he wore costumes several sizes too small and platform shoes. His role in "Phantasm" secured him a steady acting career in film and television.
- In Australia, distributors were forced to change the film's title to The Never Dead due to the popularity of the Australian sex comedy "Phantasm" (1976).
