Writer Lois Duncan was vehemently opposed to her young adult novel being reworked into a slasher film, stating she was "appalled" in one interview. This was due to the fact that her youngest daughter was murdered by an unknown assailant in 1989. She said, "As the mother of a murdered child, I don't find violent death something to squeal and giggle about." Her original book wasn't that far off from a slasher though: it's still a bunch of guilty teenagers being stalked and terrorized by a murderous madman. It's just that nobody dies in her version, so in that sense it's more like an old school mystery.
