Trivia / Strait Jacket

• Completely Different Title:
  • Translated in France as The Evil Murderess and also The Head Chopper.
  • Translated in Italy as 5 Headless Corpses.
• Follow the Leader: Obviously follows the same trail as Psycho and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?.
• Wag the Director: Joan Crawford insisted that the movie ends on a scene focusing on her, as it was originally meant to end with Carol's mad rambling with her mother mask.
• What Could Have Been: Joan Blondell was originally planned for the main role. Her daughter would have then worn a Fat Suit to emulate her appearance alongside her dress and mask, as Blondell was notably chubbier.
