Interesting facts

The Other Hell is a 1981 Italian horror film written and directed by Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso and starring Franca Stoppi and Carlo De Mejo.

Production

Both The Other Hell and The True Story of the Nun of Monza were the first films that Claudio Fragasso and Bruno Mattei shared film credits on. Fragasso wrote the screenplays for The Other Hell, finding it specifically more interesting than Mattei's The True Story of the Nun of Monza as it reminded him of Carrie set in a convent.

The Other Hell was made simultaneously with The True Story of the Nun of Monza with the same actors and building for both films. Fragasso shot The Other Hell downstairs in the building and Mattei shot the Monza film upstairs, helping each other if "a particular area of expertise" was needed.

Music in the film is taken from the band Goblin, specifically from their albums Roller and Il fantastico viaggio del bagarozzo Mark. Fragasso recalled that they used Goblin as they were fashionable and asked them to write music for the film, but they asked for a lot of money, leading to the production to use stock music with a few modifications specifically for The Other Hell.
