Although this entire movie is about vampires, the word "vampire" itself is never actually used.
Originally, Jack Sholder was set to direct Lara Flynn Boyle and Dennis Hopper in the film. After Sholder backed out, due to creative differences, John Landis stepped in and replaced Boyle and Hopper with Anne Parillaud and Robert Loggia, respectively. Landis himself had been set to direct another vampire film for Warner Brothers and Joel Silver, called "Red Sleep", starring Wayne Newton as a Las Vegas lounge singer who is bitten and seduced by a female vampire. When the failures of Landis' Oscar (1991) and Silver's Hudson Hawk (1991) killed that project, Landis moved on to this movie. Landis told Filmmaker magazine in 2017, "I really liked [the script]. I was given tremendous freedom by the studio to make it, although it was rather low budget. It was very risky, which I think perhaps contributed to the fact that it didn't do well."
The distributors re-titled this film "A French Vampire in America" for international release without informing director John Landis, angering him and causing some confusion when the film was promoted outside the U.S.
Phantom of the Rue Morgue (1954) is playing on the television during the morgue scenes, when Macelli is first brought in, and again when he makes his frenzied exit.
Unused score composed by Elmer Bernstein. Up until Bernstein's score was rejected it was his ninth (and last) collaboration with director John Landis who started to work with him on National Lampoon's Animal House.
"Sal Macelli: What's this? Gilly: It's a - a toaster. Sal Macelli: It's a Toast-R-Oven. Whoa. Hey, it's a nice one. A lot of buttons. Hit this button, pops open. You could put anything in here. A slice of pizza; pastry. You pop it in, comes out. Crust is crisp. Microwave don't do that. You ever tried cooking calzone in a microwave? Comes out like a limp dick."
"[last lines] Marie: He made me feel... alive. And I thought, 'why not?'"
