- Realism-Induced Horror: The idea of a bullied teenager hitting the breaking point and threatening innocent classmates with a weapon. Even in the late 1960's this was quite a scary situation, but it's especially horrifying nowadays in the aftermath of modern day mass shootings like Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Sandy Hook.
- Retroactive Recognition: Jan-Michael Vincent, credited as Michael Vincent, plays Rick Schneiderman. This would be one of his earliest roles. It's also one of the earliest roles for John Rubinstein and also for Heather Menzies.
