The film was shot in 1987 and promoted in trade papers and genre magazines but never got released. It sat on a shelf for 20 years before getting a badly transferred DVD release. Supposedly, there were copyright issues with the older movie footage used in the film and a scandalous rumor about Bloody Movie being produced with mob money.
Filmed under the title "Terror Night".
Linnea Quigley was originally cast, but dropped out shortly before filming began.
The films of Lance Hayward are analogues of films starring either Douglas Fairbanks or Errol Flynn.
