Director Stanley Kubrick had a good relationship with the young Danny Lloyd, and since it was his first acting job, he was highly protective of the child. During the shooting of the movie, Lloyd didn't even know he was in a horror film and only realized the truth many years later. In later interviews as an adult, Lloyd mentioned that Kubrick would even play ball with him; for years after the movie, Kubrick sent Christmas cards to the Lloyd family and even phoned Danny to congratulate him on his high school graduation.
