Martin Landau, despite co-starring in this film, often expressed embarrassment about having worked on it. He once met a fan the LAX Hilton, who brought up the movie. Landau smiled and shook his head before responding: "Of all the pictures I've made, why would you ask about *that* one?"
Lilyan Chauvin portrayed a different "Mother Superior" in the previous decade's Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984); this might or might not be an inside joke.
