Trivia
None of the seven young actresses who portray the group of friends who visit the house was a trained film actress. The young ladies were models who had worked with director Nobuhiko Ôbayashi in advertisements or commercials.

Goofs
When Mac's head floats and spins around in the air, the wires supporting the severed head are visible for a split second.

Quotes
Farmer selling watermelons: Do you like watermelons?
Keisuke Tougou-sensei: No! I like bananas!
Farmer selling watermelons: Bananas?

Crazy credits
The first half of the ending credits runs over candid footage of the actresses. During the second half, the credits appear over the poster illustration (similar to the Masters of Cinema cover, but with more color), scrolling up the ''tongue'' of the house. The main characters also show up on the sides of the screen.

Japanese erotic horror meets Monty Python

There is a serious erotic component to this that no one seems to want to touch in the user reviews, and most of the actresses were 16 at the time. It's bizarre and entertaining, using lots of war metaphors with themes of innocence and teenage trauma.
