Horror Movie and Goose Flesh
After making the movie, Maurice Murphy and Brian Rosen decided to make a follow-up project, shooting two films back to back, Horror Movie and Goose Flesh, budgeted at $500,000 each. The movie had the same plot line but Horror Movie was a straight film whereas Goose Flesh was a comedy. The same cast and crew would be used.

Filming starting in Sydney in April 1981. A scene would be shot straight then re-shot as a comedy. However the film ran out of money and filming stopped after a week. Brian Rosen was left with $700,000 debt.
