KEVIN BACON WAS VERY SKEPTICAL BEFORE THE SHOOTS BEGAN
Prior to the film's release, Bacon felt the film was a low point in his career:
"I collapsed on the sidewalk, yelling at my pregnant wife, 'I can't believe I'm making a movie about underground worms!"
All this was justified by the fact that the American actor came from two films that had not had a great success at the box office.
THE ELIMINATED CHARACTER
For reasons still unknown, a character from the original screenplay was removed from production. The character was known as Viola, an old lady who lived in Perfection, Nevada, with her rottweiler barking constantly.
The choice of producers was due to the fact that the inclusion of Viola would have altered the entire beginning of the film. The original script actually started with Viola being attacked by an invisible Graboid that bursts through the floor of her house before killing her.
THE ALTERNATIVE FINAL
In the original ending, Val and Rhonda don't kiss and he leaves with Earl on his way to Bixby, only to go back to retrieve the lighter left in Rhonda's pockets. During the rehearsal screenings, the audience in the hall during a rehearsal screening did not appreciate it and began to praise the kiss between the two. The director was then forced to recall the two actors to make them shoot the alternative ending which then became the definitive one.
