Frank Henenlotter was diagnosed with cancer a month prior to the shooting of the picture. Every morning he would get radiation treatment for the cancer and show up at the film set by 9:00 a.m. to do a day's shooting.
The outfit worn by the prostitute in this film is the same outfit worn by Frankenhooker, which is also one of the Directors prior films.
A fire broke out at the mansion location during one day of shooting. Director/co-writer Frank Henenlotter had to extinguish the fire with cans of Diet Pepsi because there was no running water in the mansion.
10 minutes before shooting the scene, makeup artist/actress Brittany Moyer, was asked to play one of the topless 'Vagina-Faced Model's' when one of the hired actresses went missing for the day.
A good majority of the movie was filmed in the supposedly haunted Brooklyn mansion that was once owned by infamous preacher Father Divine also known as Reverend Major Jealous Divine.
