* WhatCouldHaveBeen: While the film's title was always "''[=FearDotCom=]''", the website in-universe was originally just supposed to be called "fear.com". However, the producers didn't own that domain name, and the people who did refused to sell it for any price, resulting in the fictional website's name ending up as "feardotcom.com".

* CreatorKiller:
** The career of director William Malone, who had been working fairly regularly in film and TV since the early 80s and had a reasonable hit with ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1999'' a few years prior, was stalled in its tracks by the critical and commercial drubbing of this film. Since then, he's only directed an episode of ''Series/MastersOfHorror'', and the film ''Parasomnia'', which failed to get a theatrical release in the U.S.
