What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, the role of Sarah (Suzy Bannion's friend) was intended for Daria Nicolodi, but due to Daria's injury during filming, this plan was not realized.
  • Dario Argento's original concept was for the ballet school students to be girls no older than 12 years old. That’s how they were depicted in the original screenplay. However, the studio and executive producer Salvatore Argento (the director’s father) refused to implement this idea, rightly believing that a film based on the demonstration of brutal murders of children would, of course, be banned. Then Dario Argento raised the age of the heroines to 20 years old, which allowed the film to begin production.
  • The role of Suzy Bannion was initially offered to actress Tina Omon, known for her role as Henrietta in Federico Fellini's "Fellini's Casanova" (1976). However, due to her busy schedule, she was unable to accept the offer.
  • The name of the old woman who played Helena Marcos is not listed in the credits. Jessica Harper claimed that she was a 90-year-old former prostitute whom Dario Argento found on the streets of Rome and invited to his film. Daria Nicolodi provided the voice for this role.
  • For this film, Dario Argento wrote and recorded eerie and heartbreaking music together with the rock band "Goblin," which he played at full volume on the set during filming to elicit genuine fear and push the actors to their emotional limits.
  • The whisper heard in the film's soundtrack against the whimsical music of the "Goblin" band is the voice of the composer and keyboardist.
  • There's a moment in the film where a glass feather breaks off from the ornamentation. This is a reference to Dario Argento's directorial film debut – the spaghetti horror "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage" (1970).
  • In the opening episode of the film, the face of Dario Argento can be seen reflected in the glass partition of a taxi. The director himself later claimed that this was intentional, but it is possible that it was simply an excuse to justify a filming mistake.
  • During the filming of scenes with worms, rice was used in wide shots, however, real worms are shown in close-ups.
  • The role of Suzy Bannion was initially offered to actress Tina Omon, known for her role as Henrietta in Federico Fellini’s 'Fellini's Casanova' (1976). However, due to being heavily booked, she was unable to accept the offer.
  • For this film, Dario Argento wrote and recorded, together with the rock band 'Goblin', eerie and heartbreaking music, which he played at full volume on set during filming in order to elicit genuine fear and push the actors to their emotional limits.
  • The whispering heard in the film's soundtrack against the bizarre music of 'Goblin' is the voice of the composer and keyboardist.
  • The film has a moment where a glass feather breaks off from the ornament. This is a reference to Dario Argento’s directorial film debut – the spaghetti horror film “The Bird with the Crystal Plumage” (1970).
