Due to the film's low budget Mario Bava mounted the camera on a child's wagon and used it for tracking shots.
Actress Mary Arden wrote most of the English dialog for the film. The film was dubbed into English for overseas marketing.
Most of the male characters were dubbed by Paul Frees for the American release of this film, including Cameron Mitchell. Evidently the Woolner Brothers couldn't be bothered to bring him in to loop his own lines.
A landmark film in Italian cinema because it began the giallo genre. The giallo genre remains Italy's longest running cinematic movement.
For its original release in America the distributors disliked Bava's opening credits that showed the cast posed around the salon in a series of creative tracking shots. The distributors had new opening credits made that showed a series of macabre animations of mannequins being shot.
