Interesting facts

Manhattan Baby is a 1982 Italian horror film directed by Lucio Fulci, and starring Christopher Connelly and Carlo De Mejo.

Production

Manhattan Baby was originally planned to have a larger budget than any of the films that Lucio Fulci had previously directed for producer Fabrizio De Angelis. Fulci wanted to experiment and create a film more ethereal and immersive than his previous entries in the horror genre, by using special effects that were optical rather than practical, in contrast to the many gory puppetry and make-up effects of Zombi 2 and The Beyond.

The film was shot in 1982, from 8 March to the end of April, around Cairo, in New York, and at De Paolis Studios in Rome. A second unit team was shooting Enzo G. Castellari's 1990: The Bronx Warriors around the same time. Sacchetti says the extended opening scene in Egypt was added as an afterthought, to "give the film an international feel."
