Non-Indicative Name: The film was released in the US under the Market-Based Title of The Day After Halloween. This film actually has nothing to do with 'Halloween' whatsoever. It is neither set on the 1st November nor is it significantly a horror movie like Halloween (1978) but more a suspense-thriller.

Lipstick Lesbian: Madeline doesn't show any interest in men (at one point in fact attacking a man who makes a pass on Angela), and later confesses to Angela that at Angela's age she realized that she "banged at the wrong gong", before all but confessing that she's in love with Angela.

Gilligan Cut: Madeline arrives at Pluckett's salon and asks for Angela to do her hair. Pluckett says that Angela is with with another client, but that he could do her. Madeline tells him that he could take the other client and then Angela would be free to do her. Pluckett says that is not going to happen. The next shot has Pluckett washing the old woman's hair and Angela dealing with Madeline.
