From :

The very first movie I made, I didn't even know the process of being . I was in and I was just an actor who was trying to bounce around, and I went to some audition and it was by Lansbury–Beruh — they were the guys that were producing, among other things, Godspell. I went up to their office and they had all these posters for Broadway shows and I thought, Wow. These are really big heavy hitters. The audition was for a low-budget horror movie called He Knows You're Alone — actually, the script I read was called The Uninvited. And I did this kind of general audition and they said, “OK, you'll be in the movie. We don't know who you're going to play, but you'll be in the movie.” And I said, “Is that how it works? Just like that?”

Tom Hanks then breaks down what it was like filming the low budget horror movie. Ultimately, it was nothing like what he sees nowadays.

I ended up having two days on it — we shot it out in the wintertime in — and we were all in one Winnebago and stuff like that. But I kept for the equipment and I didn't realize that that was the camera because it was so small. I was like, Where's Busby Berkeley sitting on a big massive thing with blimps over it trying to keep it quiet?Instead, it was this very small Aeroflex. And I couldn't believe it. … I was more confused than anything.
