Some more trivia: * Simon Scuddamore who played Marty died of an intentional drug overdose shortly after filming. The killer in later scenes is writer/director Mark Ezra wearing the jester mask. * Shooting was stopped one day by the American Secret Service. One of their pyrotechnics alarmed the Secret Service who were near by on security detail for President Ronald Reagan who was visiting England at the time. * Although most of the cast was English and were affecting fake American accents, Donna Yeager (who played Stella) was American. She is from Texas, a graduate of Rice University, and was working in England with a repertory theater company at the time of filming. Viewers still mistook her for faking an American accent. * The interior of the high school was actually a condemned grammar school. Lockers had to be added since English schools rarely have lockers, but the filmmakers were permitted to set off explosives and set it on fire, since it was scheduled to be demolished anyway. The exterior of the high school was actually shot at an abandoned mental asylum. * Carol's extended chase scene towards the end was added during filming when the directors realized their 90-page script would only come to about 75 minutes. The sequence was largely improvised and conceived on the spot. * Caroline Munro (Carol) was dating director George Dugdale at the time the film was made. They kept their relationship a secret during filming and later married. They are still married to this day and have a couple of children together. * The directors tried to get Telly Savalas and then Peter Lawford to play the gym coach but both wanted too much money. * The interior of Carol's apartment belonged to Paul Raymond. The exterior was where Caroline Munro actually lived at the time. * A significant portion of Manfredini's score in this film is from his previous work on the Friday The 13th film series.

Some trivia: * The films working title was "April Fool's Day", however the title was changed to keep Slaughter High from being confused with the Paramount film April Fool's Day, which was released the same year as Slaughter High in 1986. * Caroline Munro was 36 years old when starred in Slaughter High where she played a teenage heroine. * As of 2018, Japan is the only country to have a home video release of the film under its original title of April Fool's Day. * A poster of Pieces is visible on the porno movie manager's office wall when he's talking with Carol over the phone. * The film was shot in England with actors adopting American accents to give the impression that it took place in the USA. Furthermore, in the UK, April Fool's Day ends at noon. In the UK, if one plays a prank after noon they are deemed the "fool". The filmmakers were unaware that America doesn't follow this tradition and April Fool's Day is in fact an all-day event rather than a half day event. * Writer/ directors George Dugdale and Peter Litten said they were both concerned that working on the film may have added to Simon Scuddmore's suicidal mental state. Simon's mother, however, told the at the funeral that Simon had been dealing with depression and actually one of the main sources of joy he took toward the end was going to work on the film.
