The film is also known among fans for its troubled production history. Due to Disney's rush to release ''Watcher'' in time for the fiftieth anniversary of star Creator/BetteDavis' film debut, special effects in the climactic final sequence were left unfinished, resulting in derision and disappointment from test audiences. An attempted second ending, minus the special effects, left the resolution so vague that audiences were confused as to what had just happened. Finally, at the last minute, a very different third ending was filmed with a new director; this final version was the one that made it to theaters in 1981. The multiple endings led to a long-running {{Urban Legend|s}} that the original ending had been so terrifying that Disney refused to release it. The two unused endings were later made available as an extra to the remastered Blu-Ray release.
