Day 4: Our government tells us they don't know!
This is my weekend and I will continue on with a sequel to my first. So my pick is...
James Woods was the original choice for the lead role but he was already committed to Videodrome (1983).
Legendary Italian horror director Mario Bava assisted with the making of the special effects on this film. Bava passed away shortly before its release.
According to co-writer and star Daria Nicolodi she didn't fight for writing credits on this film as she had an ordeal just getting writing credit on Dario Argento's previous film, Suspiria (1977). According to Nicolodi the basic plot of 'Inferno' was her creation. Reportedly, Argento wrote the screenplay working from Nicolodi's original story notes whilst staying in a room in a New York hotel situated with an aerial view of the city's Grand Central Park.
Twentieth Century Fox co-financed the film because it's predecessor Suspiria (1977) had been quite a successful film for their company. However, Fox was not the only financier. Producer Claudio Argento acquired additional financing from German and Italian consortiums.
In Kazanian's bizarre murder scene, it appears that the knife-wielding hot dog vendor runs across the pond to him. A Plexiglas bridge was placed just under the surface of the pond to make it appear that the vendor runs across the water guided by supernatural forces.
Director Dario Argento has frequently cited this picture as being one of his least favorite of his films due to the production difficulties associated with it due to the pain of the meningitis illness he suffered whilst making it.
