The film is a remake of sorts. It is based on a film that director Tony Malanowski had collaborated with "star" Steve "The Sandman" Sankuhler, known as Night of Horror. The former was also about dead Confederate soldiers tormenting a bunch of dirty hippies in a Winnebago. In his book, All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger, Troma president Lloyd Kaufman lists this among the five worst films in Troma's library. Amongst the films more notable flaws is the lack of a single Confederate uniform.
