Did you know

• First major studio film of Writer/Director/Composer John Carpenter, who wrote the film's screenplay, which was originally titled "Eyes".

• Tommy Lee Jones actually wrote his own monologue, unbeknownst to the Writers' Guild, but accredited it to the film's director, Irvin Kershner.

• In both posters and newspaper ads, with taglines like "You can't always believe what you see..." Faye Dunaway's face appeared a little bit at a time, beginning just with the over-bright image of her eyes, and the rest of the facial features appearing in subsequent ads, until the face was featured completely in the final poster.
