Interesting facts

Schizo is a 1976 British psychological horror slasher film directed and produced by Pete Walker and starring Lynne Frederick, John Leyton and Stephanie Beacham. It was written by David McGillivray.

Production

Lynne Frederick had known director Pete Walker since she was 14 years old (her mother Iris was a friend and co-worker of Walker's). However, Schizo is the only film that they worked on together.

Frederick started work on the film just days after wrapping on Voyage of the Damned (1976). When Frederick was cast, Walker was under the impression that she still had her trademark long hair. Unbeknownst to him, Frederick had cut it short for her previous role in Voyage of the Damned.

The film was shot on location in Newcastle upon Tyne and London, England.

Due to the film's low budget, many of Frederick's clothes came from her own personal wardrobe. Frederick had worn many of these outfits the previous year in A Long Return (1975).
