Line 4:
* [[The Danza]]: Judith Ridley played Judy in the original.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Tom and Judy's actors were in their 20's when playing as the young teenage couple.
* [[Throw It In]]:
** The character Judy wasn't originally in the story. Apparently the actress was just so sweet and photogenic that the crew created a part for her and just made up scenes for her as they went along. Which explains why she's basically a [[Living Prop]].
** The car crashing into a tree was done on a whim because they needed an excuse for why there was suddenly a dent in it after getting in an accident during production.
** Barbra goes barefoot quickly in the movie because the crew lost one of the shoes. To this day the actress believes it was stolen by a crew member with a foot fetish.
** Barbara's description of the events in the cemetery don't match what happened very well. This can be explained in-movie by the fact that she's going a little nuts. It's a little clearer why this is when you learn that that scene was adlibbed, ''and'' the cemetery scene was ''the last scene filmed'' anyway.▼
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Working titles for the film included actually ''Night of Anubis'' and ''Night of the Flesh Eaters''.
* [[Word of Dante]]: The supposed racial undertones of the film and especially the Downer Ending are purely speculation on the part of critics and fans, as George A. Romero has repeatedly stated that the character of Ben was written as a white man and no social allegory was originally intended. Hasn't stopped fans from treating it as canon or stopped Romero himself from since taking credit for it.
* [[Working Title|Working Titles]]: For the film included Night of Anubis and Night of the Flesh Eaters.
