The film was produced on a budget of "five hundred dollars tops".[1] Filming took place in Pahrump, Nevada,[1] and according to Steckler, the furnishings of the titular shack were property that had been left behind by a previous tenant.[1] The black suit worn by the "Chooper", which was too small for Haydock,[4] was recycled from a previous Steckler production, Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Monsters.[1] The killer was called the "Chooper" after the repetitive "choop" sounds made by the suit's wearer during the "Green Grasshopper" segment of The Lemon Grove Kids.[4]
