The original swimming pool sequence with mostly completed effects can be watched as a bonus feature on DVD presentations. A replacement shop class sequence with both comic and horror elements was substituted, delaying the film's release by several months. However, initial post viewing tests suggested the ending didn't quite mesh with the overall intended tone of the film. Production noteĪn elaborate swimming pool sequence utilizing a large pool model, "wall of hands" and a "hell hole" visual was initially planned as the film's final "hand" encounter. It grossed $1.8 million during its first week, and then a total of just over $4 million on a budget of $20–25 million, making it a box office flop. The film opened on April 30, 1999, in 1,611 theaters. When he is left alone in his room, Anton looks up and sees the message "I am under the bed" written on the ceiling. In the film's conclusion, Anton is in a body-cast in the hospital, having given up heaven to stay with Molly, and Mick and Pnub are now his Guardian Angels. In the process of lighting the bong for Mick, Pnub accidentally hits the controls for the car, and Anton is crushed by the car. She and Randy take off for "ritualistic sex." Anton releases Molly from the top of the car, they go under the car and start making out. Debi throws a ritual knife into the hand, stopping it in a puff of smoke and fire. Anton blows some smoke into the hand (still inside a hand-puppet) until it drops the controls and they save Molly.
Mick finds a mechanic's bong and he and Pnub smoke "for strength".
Anton, Mick, and Pnub fight with the hand over the controls. Anton enters and fights with the hand while it is inside a puppet but it escapes to the auto shop, where Molly is strapped to a car in her bra and panties, being raised toward the ceiling. Molly then runs into the art room, causing her to get knocked out. They attempt to go through a fan, which they have stopped with Tanya's shoe, but Tanya gets hung on the rope, Molly tries to pulls Tanya off the fan and Anton's hand ends up removing Tanya's shoe, allowing her to be pulled to her death in the fan.
Molly and her friend Tanya escape through the vents. The hand then scalps the band's lead singer and causes a panic. Anton crashes the dance and tries to warn everyone about his hand, but is ignored. Debi explains that the hand will drag Molly's soul into the netherworld. Mick and Pnub go to the Halloween dance to watch over Molly, while Anton looks for the hand. The three then steal Randy's truck and head to the school. Unfortunately Pnub and Mick inadvertently release the hand. After sending Molly to the school dance, Anton returns home to finish off the hand. Meanwhile, Debi (now along with Randy, Anton's neighbor) hunts Anton down to put a stop to the possessed hand. Pnub and Mick seek out a First-Aid Kit while Anton traps the hand in a microwave, burning it. After his hand kills two cops in his living room, Anton cuts it off with a cleaver. Meanwhile, a druidic high priestess named Debi LeCure is hunting the spirit responsible for killings across the country. However, Pnub and Mick decide not to go to heaven, returning to their former bodies and rising from the grave. Anton holds a funeral for his parents and friends. Unable to control his hand, Anton throws his cat across the street and while searching for it, he encounters his neighbor Molly and the two start a relationship. After killing his best friends Pnub and Mick, Anton realizes that his right hand has become possessed. Lazy stoner teenager Anton Tobias' parents wind up dead on Halloween, with all the clues pointing to him.
