 In 1985, the financial backer of "Twisted Souls" hired Eugenie Joseph to direct more footage, which was pieced together with the finished footage from "Twisted Souls" to create "Spookies".The added scenes, written by Ann Burgund (under the name Joseph Burgund), feature an entirely different cast and include all the footage of the boy looking for his birthday party, the man in the tree, the cat-man, the old magician, the girl in the coffin, zombies, the witch in the basement/cave and the little blue boy.The creature effects were created by Gabe Bartalos, Arnold Gargulio, Jennifer Aspinall, John Dods, and others helping in various capacities.
