Inspiration and development
The concept is based on the that the parent studio Universal Pictures deemed "too depressing" and ordered a reshoot for its theatrical release.

Andrew Stine (Linguica) suggested to the Army of Darkness TC team that its secret map should be set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland as found in the movie's alternate ending:

"We hadn't anything planned for the secret level. We had 8 levels planned now, in which one, the troublesome dungeon, didn't really fit the storyline. I believe [Stephen Angell (Shonen)] mentioned different movie endings to me before, but I never really thought about the idea of turning it into a secret level. Andy thought of it, and so we did it. Actually, Lawton Roberts did it. He is by far the fastest level builder in the team."
