Among Mary's horror movie videotapes, there's a DVD of Christina's House (2000), Gavin Wilding's previous feature.
A scene showing the movie showtimes have "The Wisher" scheduled and the title "Halloween Resurrection " under it
The movie "The Wisher" was banned in two state- Iowa and Michigan.
When Mary is surfing the Net looking for info, she reaches a page that reads "Movie Makers Tap Into Twisted Myths and Modern Technology to Manipulate Audience". In it, there's info about the movie-within-the-movie's cast and crew, showing it as directed by Gavin Wilding and starring Mark Reid (the movie's producer), Dean Evans (the editor) and "Brenda Schener" (costume designer Brenda Shenher). Also, it has a 3 stars rating (pressumably out of 5), a R-Rating by MPAA "for strong violence, language and some sexual content" and its running time: 01:40.
Even though it wasn't in the credits of the movie Canadian actor Robert Bamford also played The Shane Wisher
