The primary filming location was an early 1900s farmhouse located on Quick Hill Road near Round Rock, Texas, where the La Frontera development is now located.

The small budget and concerns over high-cost equipment rentals meant the crew filmed seven days a week, up to 16 hours a day.

The environment was humid and the cast and crew found conditions tough ; temperatures peaked at 110 ° F ( 43 ° C ) on July 26.

Hansen later recalled, " It was 95, 100 degrees every day during filming.

They wouldn't wash my costume because they were worried that the laundry might lose it, or that it would change color.

They didn't have enough money for a second costume.

So I wore that 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, for a month.
