| 1 | * CreatorKiller: ''Eight Legged Freaks'' squashed the cinematic careers of director/writer Creator/ElloryElkayem and co-writer Creator/JesseAlexander into pulp. Neither wrote another cinematic screenplay, with Elkayem doing DirectToVideo and TV movies since, and Alexander returning to a successful TV career. |
| 2 | * DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The original title was changed because it sounded too similar to "''Iraq'' Attack", and therefore inappropriate with the start of the Iraq War. |
| 3 | * ThrowItIn: Creator/DavidArquette ad-libbed the line "eight legged freaks", which subsequently became the title. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 5 | ** The original title was ''Arac Attack'' and in many European countries it was still released as that. There was also a TitleDrop where Joshua says "they call that an arac attack" early in the film. |
| 6 | ** An alternate opening has Harlan's broadcast running longer promoting the mall, after which a worker sees the toxic waste being put into the basement. |
| 7 | ** There were plans for a sequel that would have had David Arquette returning as Chris. Due to the low box office return, it wasn't made. |
