What's left behind the scenes

  • Director Larry Cohen drew the monstrous creature as he envisioned it: with a huge forehead and prominent veins, and gave the drawing to special effects artist Rick Baker. The Star Child from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) and a wolf served as inspiration.
  • Filming and editing of "It Lives!" took place concurrently with work on Larry Cohen's other film – "Black Caesar" (1973). As a result, many members of the cast and crew worked on both films seven days a week without a break.
  • For close-up shots, Rick Baker created a full-size head of the mutant baby, a pair of gloves, and a costume, which was worn by his then-girlfriend, and later wife, Elaine Alexander.
  • The film is based on Saltykov-Shchedrin’s novel “The History of One Town.”
  • Victor Tsoi was mistakenly listed among the actors on the film’s poster. In reality, Vyacheslav Tsoi, a namesake of the singer, appeared in the film.
  • The film is based on Saltykov-Shchedrin's novel "The History of One Town".
