Cast
Production
Over ten years before 'Cemetery Gates' was filmed, screenwriter Brian Patrick O'Toole, received a script for the film from Pat Coburn and J. Victor Renauld. O'Toole, who was working as a literary agent at the time, "loved" the idea of a Tasmanian devil as an antagonist, stating: "My feeling was, 'Why hasn't anybody thought of this beforea mutant Tasmanian devil?' It's the most pissed-off, vicious creature on the planet." O'Toole noted that a close childhood friend of his, Michael Beck, died one day before O'Toole received the script, and said that, "most importantly, this was a movie Michael and I would have loved."
Throughout the next decade, the script for 'Cemetery Gates' went through a number of different drafts and storylines. The final draft of the script was written in four days over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2003. Filming took place over a period of 13 days; shooting locations included the Bronson Caves in Los Angeles, California.
