 The film was originally entitled "The Night Crew", but distributors felt that the film would be more marketable if it was given a more generic slasher film title; thus it was released as "Intruder".The Paramount VHS video cover (along with various other video and DVD releases) and the film's trailers all reveal the identity of the killer, thus spoiling the film's dramatic tension.Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Ted Raimi were all heavily promoted by Paramount as the stars of the film, and their names feature prominently on video and DVD artwork.
