Did you know

• Pig's blood, not stage blood, was used for the stabbing scene, for the sake of additional realism.

• The narration quotes confessions of real-life killers like Peter Kürten, known as the 'Vampire of Düsseldorf'.

• In the scene where the killer smashes a window when breaking into the house, the window he breaks is not stunt glass, but real glass, something actor Erwin Leder insisted on doing. He injured his hand in the process. (The glass door that Silvia Ryder throws herself through is fake glass, although she bruised herself badly when landing.)
