Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to the film's low budget Mario Bava mounted the camera on a child's wagon and used it for tracking shots.
- GoofsIn one English-dubbed print, the handwritten message of the killer is in German.
- Quotes
Inspector Sylvester: Perhaps the sight of beauty makes him lose control of himself, so he kills.
- Alternate versionsThe original European version opened with a title sequence in which the camera focuses on each cast member as their name appears on the screen. The US distributors, Lawrence Woolner and Bernard Woolner, hired Filmation Studios to create a new title sequence featuring a montage of mannequins and skulls. The original title sequence has been restored on VCI Home Video's DVD release. The original US release removed a shot of the bathwater turning blood red in Claude Dantes' death scene. This shot was seen in the montage of scenes used in Matador (1986), and has been restored on VCI Home Video's DVD release.

Featured review
This was undeniably a major influence on the Gaillo style of film and probably also on the later "body count" serial killer films.
In this film, a serial killer wearing a hose mask kills women brutally and viciously. The film sets up many likely candidates and well keeps one guessing and guessing. Great stuff!
Bava's color visuals also stand out and apart as usual. This is simply gorgeous to view.
