In earlier drafts of the film's script, Eugene was heavily implied to be Billy, but the idea was later abandoned in subsequent drafts in favor of making the character a combination of various slasher villains. Billy also appeared in Season 2 of the flash cartoon parody series 30-Second Bunnies Theatre. Billy would make an appearance in the 2021 fan film It's me, Billy, written and directed by Dave McRae and Bruce Dale. The short, an unofficial sequel to the original film,

Title: Billy Abbott
Content:  Billy was introduced in July 1993 and grew up naturally until 1999, when the producers decided to age the character. Up to 1999, the character was portrayed by child actors, first by a set of twins named Katrin and Margret Ingimarsdottir, then by Brett Sherman, Shane Silver, Blake Pontello, Josh Michael Rose and Scotty Leavenworth.

Some writers have noted that Billy's lack of a clear backstory in the original film had forced the audience to place their own fears on the character. As Paul Corupe wrote, "Lacking a distinct form or personality, Billy's really anything you want him to be."

Title: Billy (1979 TV series)
Content:  Billy stars Steve Guttenberg as Billy Fisher, a mortician's clerk with a tendency to daydream. His Walter Mitty-like tendency would have him imagining that he was a famous surgeon, a rock superstar, a disk jockey, a television network executive, or a football star. Each episode of Billy had at least two of his fantasies, which included appearances by Don Adams, Suzanne Somers, Larry Csonka, Merv Griffin, and Lou Ferrigno. Peggy Pope and James Gallery portray Billy's often-frustrated parents (she thought Billy had a vivid imagination; he viewed Billy as a chronic, compulsive liar). Paula Trueman played his grandmother, who believed that Billy was insane, Bruce Talkington played Billy's friend Arthur Milliken, a fellow worker at Shadrack and Shadrack funeral home and Michael Alaimo as Billy's employer.
