Интересные факты

Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory is a 1961 Italian mystery horror film directed by Paolo Heusch, written by Ernesto Gastaldi, and starring Barbara Lass, Carl Schell, Curt Lowens, and Maurice Marsac. The plot follows a girls' detention facility that is plagued by attacks from an unknown entity.

Production

Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory was shot in 1961 at Cinecittà Studios and on-location in Rome. Much of the cast and crew adopted English-sounding pseudonyms for the film, such as 'Richard Benson' (director Paolo Heusch), 'Julian Berry' (writer Ernesto Gastaldi), and 'Francis Berman' (composer Armando Trovajoli).

German-American actor Curt Lowens plays the werewolf in the film. Lowens described the werewolf transformations as being shot in reverse starting with full make-up and shot in reverse with more elements of his transformations being removed, the whole process shot with dissolves taking over three hours.
