The crew shot the scene with an overflowing bathtub for real, in an actual house's second-story bathroom. This proved to be ill-advised when, just after the shot was filmed, the soaked floor caved in and the tub fell all the way through down to the first floor.
Director Tony Randel and production designer Kim Hix designed the interior of the main house to be an intentionally unpleasant, off-putting, nightmarish caricature of a suburban home.
Last Amityville Horror movie in the series based on a book.
In its original release, the movie was officially titled "Amityville 1992: It's About Time". When it was released on DVD in 2005, it had a new artwork, and the "1992" was dropped from the title. During the opening titles you can see a black box over the spot where "1992" should appear in the title.
Just like the fourth film of the series, Amityville Horror: The Evil Escapes (1989), this film is also loosely based on the series of short stories titled "Amityville: The Evil Escapes" by John G. Jones.
