The budget was so low they could not afford to mock-up an ad printed in a fake newspaper for the Blands' swingers advertisement, so production designer Robert Schulenberg instead designed an ad and ran it in the "L.A. Weekly", an alternative newspaper. Unlike the vast number of replies the Blands got in the movie, the real ad attracted only one response.
According to Issa Clubb's "10 Things I Learned: Eating Raoul" web-pages, "The film was shot on multiple stocks, cadged from a variety of sources. Much of it was shot on donated "short ends," short unused portions of unexposed film. Some of the longer runs of stock given to the production had been rejected by the donors because of noticeable mold growth on the cans that held it. The team shot the film and then crossed their fingers and delivered it to the developing lab."
The sound effect of the frypan hitting the swinger victims' heads was created by smashing a cantaloupe with a cast iron pan.
Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov reprised their roles of Paul Bland and Mary Bland for a cameo appearance in Chopping Mall (1986).
Years after the film became a cult favorite, a sequel was scripted, in which a man blackmailed the Blands with knowledge of their killings. Chevy Chase was slated to play this man, and Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov would reprise their roles from the original, but Bartel died before it could get started.
"Mary: At the store, can you buy a new frying pan? I'm a little squeamish about using the one we use to kill people."
"Susan - Swinger in Fur: I was just saying to my husband, Moose, over there, you're a highly unusual-looking couple. We were wondering if you'd like to get together with us and have fun? Mary: Ah, what did you have in mind? Susan - Swinger in Fur: Oh, gee, we're up for about anything! You see, we're both bi, so we can go either way. But, actually, we do like straight sex. Moose is into voyeurism, and I'm into exhibitionism. We like B&D, but we don't like S&M. We met at the A&P."
