Trivia
The original story by Felipe M. Guerra was written in 2009 with the initial title "Night of the Prey", in reference to the popular saying "A day for the hunter, a day for the prey". He teamed up with co-director Geisla Fernandes to finally produce the film, and it was her suggestion to change the title to the more direct and effective "The Augusta Street Ripper".

Alternate versions
The two directors disagreed about the final cut, so each one chose to make his own version: Felipe M. Guerra's cut is two minutes longer (and it's considered the official cut for movie festivals), while Geisla Fernandes' cut put back the voice-over of the vampire who had been eliminated in the other version. The soundtrack of the two cuts is also different.
