 Director Wes Craven (qv) had intended to ask Johnny Depp (qv) to  make an appearance as himself in the funeral scene. Craven never  worked up the courage to ask him, but after the films release, they  ran into each other. Craven asked Depp if he would have made an  appearance in the movie and Depp said that he would have, and that  Craven should have asked him.
