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.
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.
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.
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.
