Trivia
Among the motivational banners in the school's locker room is a sign that says "The will to win comes from within" which is particularly appropriate considering the body snatcher nature of the alien invaders taking over the staff and student body.

When Casey nurses his wounds in the bathroom at the beginning of the movie, graffiti above his head reads, Tito & Tarantula. This is the band of Tito Larriva, who has composed music and acted in director Robert Rodriguez's other movies, Desperado (1995) and From Dusk Till Dawn (1996).

When Zeke hands Marybeth the pen of scat, he removes the blue cap from it as he hands it to her. Marybeth is seen spinning the pen, which we later learn is her emptying it. The shot switches to Delilah about to snort it, then back to Marybeth who now has the cap on her pen.

Q
Why doesn't Marybeth assimilate Zeke when they are alone and making out before they kill the science professor?
A
I don't know? Anybody else? She has a perfect opportunity and wastes it.
Q
Does Professor Furlong die?
A
During their first confrontation with the aliens, Professor Furlong attacks the group. Zeke cuts Furlong's fingers off with a paper cutter blade and then jams a pen of "scat" into his eye, causing the body of Furlong to drop lifeless to the ground and expel a foamy white fluid. However, during the end credits, Jon Stewart as Professor Furlong is shown with an eye-patch and his right hand wrapped in gauze.
Q
When does Delilah get assimilated?
A
It has been suggested that as the only time Delilah is seen off screen apart from the group between leaving Casey and the reveal at the drug test, it is safe to assume that she was assimilated sometime immediately leaving the school, thus explaining why the police are unable to reach her at her home. This also explains her use of glasses and more dowdy clothing when returning to school, as the aliens seem to allow their hosts to unleash their desires free of normal societal constraints; in this case, Delilah secretly wants to fit into the crowd rather than lead because of her looks. Though her wearing glasses is more likely because contacts will dry out the eyes of people who wear them. As these creatures dehydrate their human hosts so she switched to glasses so her eyes wouldn't dry out.However it is also possible that she was assimilated during the scene in the lab during all the commotion killing the professor as Mary-Beth was seen taking her 'to safety' behind one of the benches.
