They also screened Them! for the cast and crew the day before filming began. Haynes remarked that while Them! had the biggest influence on River of Dread, the scariest film they saw was American Movie.

It was Neil Spisaks idea to use a collapsed pier as Doc Ocks lair to reflect a warped version of Dr. Octaviuss old lab and express how his life had collapsed and grown more monstrous, evoking Fritz Langs work and the film Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari..

Plaintiffs had charged plagiarism of their work, "Greek to You," in the film "Professor Beware." Judge Goddard ruled that the film was adapted from a play, "The Road to Jericho," and said, "I think it is plain that defendants have not copied plaintiffs work." Phillips and Nizer were attorneys for the defendants.
