Trivia:

In the scene where Beezle tows the car, it says on the side of the towtruck "Satanic Mechanic". A reference to the song in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Charlie is driving to the Road to Nowhere, at first he's wearing a white tank top, then for the rest of the driving scene he's wearing an olive green t-shirt. When he arrives at the entrance and jumps out of the car, he's wearing the white tank top again.

Quotes:

Beezle: People live, people die...they come down here. I have infinite levels of Hell. What you've seen is nothing, a mere kindergarten. It's so easy for me now. People have lost their willpower, their hope. They think the world is going to come to an end. Wishful thinking. The world will last a long long long long time.

One of the funniest horror movies of all time

Highway to hell is by far one of the funniest horror movies of all time. There are tons of hilarious lines and scenes throughout the entire film. As a person who enjoys over-the-top horror movies, this is my favorite. This one beats all of the other comedy/horror movies I have seen to date: Jack Frost, Head of the Family, Python, Raptor, Night of the Demons, Hell's Highway (not to be confused with this one, Highway to Hell), Dead Alive, Demons, Terror Toons. While these movies do have their moments, Highway to Hell is consistent and overall a better movie. I highly recommend this movie to any fan of the comedy/horror genre.
