Cowriter S.S. Wilson got the idea for Tremorswhile working in the California desert for the U.S. Navy. While taking a break on a large rock, Wilson imagined what it would be like if an underground predator forced him to remain there indefinitely. Frank Herbert's Dune has also been cited as an inspiration for Tremors. Both stories feature giant unde...
During post-production, Universal felt it necessary to make a change to the film score in order to make it scarier. Composer Robert Folk was recruited at the last minute to make alterations to Ernest Troost's original score, which was deemed too safe by the studio. In the final cut of the film, both film scores are used. Troost's country-western sc...
Tremorsoriginally drew an R-rating from the MPAA. Not for intense violence, but for extreme profanity. Rather than rewrite dialogue and reshoot scenes over again, creative overdubbing was used in post-production to circumnavigate the restrictive rating.

For reasons still unknown, a character in the original screenplay was nixed before production began. The character was known as Viola, a crabby old lady who lives in Perfection, Nevada with her constantly barking Rottweiler. Although a reclusive shut-in, Viola's inclusion would have altered the entire beginning of the film. The original script bega...
Before settling on the appearance of the Graboid monsters, several methods were tested. The original idea was to show the Graboids with completely dry skin, but the glossy paint application made them appear as if covered in lacquer. Another idea was to depict the Graboids with an outer shell. When above ground, the Graboids would withdraw its shell...

The Graboids in Tremorswere designed by American special effects house Amalgamated Dynamics. To achieve the shot of the full-scale Graboid that Val digs up in the film, the giant monster was molded from lightweight foam, buried in a trench, and excavated. In addition, the elephant gun Burt (Michael Gross) uses in the film is an 8-gauge Darne Shotgu...
At the behest of Universal, first-time director Ron Underwood was forced to add violent attack scenes early in the film to pump up the suspense. This was also done so Universal could better market the film as a monster-movie. Initially, producers wanted to hide all signs of a monster from the audience to keep the killer's identity shrouded. But whe...
When it came time to marketing Tremors, Universal designed a theatrical one-sheet and VHS cover art. The image would have featured a Graboid in full view. When Stampede Entertainment implored Universal to keep the monster shrouded until audiences see it for the first time in the film, the studio agreed. As a result, a much closer image of the Grabo...
The original ending of Tremorswas far different than what's shown in the final version. In the script, Valentine and Rhonda did not get together romantically, but it was something to which was heavily alluded. As Val and Earl depart for Bixbie, they realize they left their cigarette lighter behind in Perfection. When they realize the lighter is sti...
