Was made for only $2,400.
The effects for the blob monster was actually just a black plastic garbage bag covered in ultra-slime and operated by puppeteers on a green-screen mat.
The film was shot completely without sound. Voices, sound effects, etc. Were all added in post-production.
Originally planned as a feature-length film.
There was originally planned to be more monsters and special effects, but the makers didn't have time to create the animatronic and prosthetic effects needed.
