Trivia for
The Trigger Effect (1996) More at IMDbPro »

• The story is inspired by the classic "The Twilight Zone" (1959) episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street," which depicts the denizens of the street slowly becoming crazy after a power failure. In fact, in the film's production notes, Matthew and Annie live on the corner of Maple and Willoughby (another classic TZ episode, "A Stop At Willoughby"), obvious allusions to "The Twilight Zone".
  
  
• Another source of inspiration for this movie came from the first episode of the TV series, "Connections" (1978), hosted by a co-writer of this movie, James Burke. The episode is called "Connections: The Trigger Effect (#1.1)" (1978).
