That was more to do with continuity when making a low budget film
While the shoot took place over five weeks, the events of the actual film all occur within 24 hours. Consequently, the cast had to wear the same clothes each day. Burns's costume ended up caked in both fake and real blood, while Gunnar Hansen, who had to wear a bloodstained butcher's apron, has stated that, by the end of filming, he smelt so bad that no one would sit next to him at lunch
At the same time, the food used during the dinner scene was left in a very hot room for the duration, and it had become rotten, stinking the place out!
