Did you know
• John Carl Buechler was considered to direct the film. His version of the story was going to be a straight up horror film. The Garbage Pail Kids would have spawned from radioactive sludge that had found its way to a garbage can filled with broken dolls, turning them into serial killers.
• Mackenzie Astin auditioned and signed onto the movie without telling his father, actor John Astin. When he was informed and given the script by his son, John thought the script was so bad he looked into getting Mackenzie out of the film.
• Voice actor Jim Cummings is openly ashamed of taking part in this movie.
