Tellingly, Ellen Burstyn would play the role in the TruerToTheText version in 2014 and she's just one year older than Louise; playing the role thirty years later.

* MethodActing: Louise Fletcher got particularly into her role as the Grandmother, remaining in character even when they weren't filming; feeling it was the only way to keep herself from getting distracted.
* NoBudget: According to Jeffrey Bloom, it was a low budget film that meant no big names were considered. Louise Fletcher and Victoria Tennant were respected character actresses, and the children were played by unknowns.

One scene shows the children being attacked by the grandmother with a knife, another where they are menaced by the groundskeeper with an electric drill. The original version of the wedding sequence shows Corrine in a different gown that bares her arms, upper chest, and throat (unlike the dress in the theatrical release, which has long white sleeves and a high neck; it's suspected that the more modest gown may have been to conceal the fact that the Corrine in the death scene was a double).
