Magnum P.I. (1980) writer Jay Huguely's final draft for Jason Goes to Hell was awful and impossible to understand. Cunningham was coming up against a deadline, as in New Line needed to see the script within a couple of days or else they'd cancel the project. So, he recruited My Boyfriend's Back (1989) writer Dean Lorey, sat with him in a room for 4 days, and wouldn't let him leave until they had a script they could film. In the process, they basically threw out all of Huguely's work. Lorey stayed on as an ever-present sounding board on set, but Cunningham also had Lewis Abernathy (Deepstar Six) and Leslie Boehm (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)) perform un-credited re-writes. Specifically, Abernathy wrote the opening sequence, and Bohem did a last minute polish over a weekend. Bohem, later the writer of Daylight (1996) and Dante's Peak (1997), was keen that his name not be attached. So, in the closing credits he's simply listed as the "Executive Typist."
