I. Another of her arbitrary rules was that I couldn’t watch horror movies in which the victims were killed on camera. The aftermath of the killing was fine to show, but not the act itself. That rule lasted about fifteen minutes.

II. Daria Nicolodi, Argento’s cowriter and sometime muse, originally wrote the starring role for herself, but the US financiers wanted an American lead instead. However, according to Asia Argento, Dario’s daughter, it was Dario who didn’t want Daria for the role.

III. Apropos of nothing, in college when I couldn’t sleep, I would sometimes pop in a classic movie that I was supposed to love but that I really found ridiculously boring. 2001 was always a favorite for this purpose. Others were Nashville and 81/2.

IV. Dante names many of the characters after famous horror film directors. There are also cameos by the likes of Roger Corman and Forrest Ackerman. Various references to other wolf-related ephemera are sprinkled throughout, like a copy of Ginsberg’s Howl and a cartoon of the Three Little Pigs.

V. Morrow was decapitated by the blade of a helicopter when it crashed on him and the two children. After a nine-month trial, Landis was eventually found innocent of involuntary manslaughter.
