What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Stephen King's novel "Firestarter" (1980).

- John Carpenter was initially chosen as the director, but was replaced by Mark L. Lester due to the box office failure of his film "The Thing".
- John Carpenter was initially chosen as the director, but was replaced by Mark L. Lester due to the box office failure of his film "The Thing".
- In the last half hour of the film, George C. Scott is shown on screen with a patch over his left eye. The patch was necessary due to an infection caused by wearing a contact lens.
- Bert Lancaster had to leave the film's cast after heart surgery, and was replaced by Martin Sheen.
- The idea that Art Carney's character would wear a hearing aid was suggested by the actor himself, who was actually deaf. Director Mark L. Lester really liked the idea.
- Some scenes with Drew Barrymore were filmed on a soundstage (for example, the barn fire). A stunt double was used in some scenes.
- At that time, computer technology was not yet sufficiently developed, so there was no computer graphics, and all special effects were created directly on the set. Real fire, remotely controlled prosthetics, wires, gas pipes and stuntmen were used.
- David Keat told that in the scene in the barn, when his character dies and Drew Barrymore’s heroine cries, she couldn’t cry no matter what. Barrymore asked him to slap her right before the camera started rolling so she would cry. Keat slapped her.
- Initially, John Carpenter was chosen as the director, but due to the box office failure of his film "The Thing", he was replaced by Mark L. Lester.
