Interesting facts

The Young, the Evil and the Savage, also known as Schoolgirl Killer, is a 1968 Italian giallo film directed by Antonio Margheriti.

Production

The Young, the Evil and the Savage was originally developed as a project for Mario Bava. Bava was contacted by producer Lawrence Woolner of the Woolner Brothers, who had distributed his films Hercules in the Haunted World and Blood and Black Lace in the United States. Woolner had relocated to Rome to set up a new independent production company with Giuseppe De Blasio.

The film's director, Antonio Margheriti, stated that he initially became involved with the Woolner Brothers as they had distributed his film Castle of Blood. Margheriti stated he did not recall why Bava did not complete the film, stating that "I think Mario was busy at that time, working on Diabolik or something", and then they gave the production to him and his production company.

The film was shot on location in Rome and on the French Riviera under a new title, Sette vergini per il diavolo (transl. Seven Virgins for the Devil).
