All the key settings are named after Lovecraftian sources, such as Cthulhu Gardens and Sarnath Botanics.
The monster protagonist is played by the writer/director himself, Wayne Spitzer.
When "Cutthroat Cthulhu" (Eric Gollinger) dies, we see him laugh unexpectedly. This was in fact a blooper, but Spitzer, thinking it added a macabre touch of humorous irony, left it in.
