The wardrobe of Graveyard Gus ('Bill Moseley') is an homage to Crazy Ralph in Friday the 13th (1980) and Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981).
Despite Blood Night being a tale about Long Island, shot in Long Island with a cast and crew of many Long Islanders, production was not always welcome in the area. The production team was frequently harassed, fined and eventually sued by the mayor of the town who did not want a horror movie being filmed there.
The cemetery scene was shot in Cypress Hills cemetery in Brooklyn NY overnight. The crew would eat "lunch" in a mausoleum since it was too cold outside. Legendary actress Mae West was entombed in the mausoleum the Blood Night crew was held in. One night cast and crew all payed her a visit.
All of Samantha Fahcci's exterior nude scenes were shot in subfreezing weather.
The tale of Blood Night was based off the popular Long Island, NY urban legend of Mary Hatchet. Writer/director Frank Sabatella is from Long Island NY.
