Trivia / Deadly Friend

• Completely Different Title:
  • The Brazilian title is "The Curse of Samantha", to make it sound more like a traditional horror film.
  • The Italian title is "You should have died", referring to Sam.
• Executive Meddling: A major victim of it. It was supposed to be a PG-rated teen sci-fi film, but the studio forced Craven to transform the film into a horror movie...AFTER THE FILM WAS FINISHED. Violent scenes and darker music were added to the film, resulting in a mish-mash of a movie.
