Trivia:

This was Dennis Fimple's last film, and is dedicated to him.

Several characters are named after characters that appeared in Marx Brothers films.

During its box office run, the film encountered two instances of the number '666'. The first was when the film grossed $3,460,666 on its opening weekend, and the second was when the theater average income for the film was found to be $666.

The Firefly House is actually the same house used in the film "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", and is a part of Universal Studios' theme park in Orlando, Florida. Universal would not close the house to visitors during filming, so many scenes for this film were delayed.

The film was actually completed in 2000, but was ultimately rejected by Universal Studios, which believed the film would receive an NC-17 rating (which it did). It took two years before Zombie found a distributer willing to publish it in Lion's Gate Entertainment.

As one might expect, Rob Zombie wrote and performed most of the songs on the soundtrack.
