The 1980s saw a resurgence in the horror genre with the success of low budget films like Halloween and Friday the 13th. Hoping to cash in on the renewed interest in horror, in 1980 United Artists agreed to finance and distribute Motel Hell for writer/producers Robert and Steven-Charles Jaffe and director Kevin Connor. The film opened at #1 over Halloween weekend, and eventually grossed $6.3 million (according to Box Office Mojo) during its theatrical run.
