Anecdotes

Minikillers is a four-episode series of dialogue-free short films from 1969 starring Diana Rigg. Rigg plays an unnamed character extremely similar to her character Emma Peel in The Avengers, although neither the production company nor any of the other cast or crew were related. They were produced in 1969 by an obscure German company called Accentfilms International. They were directed by Wolfgang von Chmielewski, from the German TV Station WDR, and written by Wolfgang and Michael von Chmielewski.

Production

The opening titles feature images of the minikiller dolls viewed in distorting mirrors. These effects were created by artist Victor Bonato, who is credited for "Title-Mirrors" as Vittorio Bonato, his original name. An uncredited singer alternately manically laughs, screams, and sighs the words "Minikillers" over the images of the dolls. The title track appears in only the first and third films.
