Made over the course of two days.
The idea for this video came about on the set of Murder Weapon (1989). Linnea Quigley said in a 2015 interview: "Kevin Hall and I were watching Murder Weapon on the monitor when we were doing it, and he was watching me. I have a black hood on, you don't know who the killer is, and I'm taking this big hatchet thing down again and again. And I go, oh, my god, that's heavy. And he said, 'Horror movies are hard work. Why don't we make a horror workout?' So the week after, we were doing it, in two days." She also talked about how difficult it was at times: "I had a little bit of trouble keeping up with the choreographer that was in front of me, that you couldn't see. It would be like, 'Oh, I'm going left but I should be going right.' I can dance on my own but I'm horrible if it's watching someone else and doing it, and ever since I was a kid I was like that."
Linnea's friends are all named after characters she's played.
The graveyard was built on a hill near an abandoned sanitarium.
