Curiozități

Night Terrors is a 1993 horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. It stars Robert Englund in a dual role, as both Chevalier and the Marquis de Sade. The film was originally set to be shot in Egypt, which later was changed to Tel Aviv, which led the original director to quit the feature and the production company to hire director Tobe Hooper. It is a co-production between Canada and Israel.

Production

In 1993, Globus made three films with producer Harry Alan Towers, and managed to place all three of their Israeli-produced films in the interim of Cannon or Warners for video distribution. Among the films, only Night Terrors achieved theatrical distribution. Night Terrors was written by Daniel Matmor, though Rom Globus is also credited. It is Globus' only film credit.

When actor Robert Englund learned about the filming being shot in Alexandria, Egypt, Englund stated he "jumped at the chance . . . but then the whole project went through radical transformation." Englund noted that the script was changed so that it was no longer about de Sade, but based on a collection of his erotic short stories, and that he would be playing a descendant of him as well as playing de Sade himself in a number of flashbacks.

Post-production on two of both Night Terrors and The Mummy Lives were sent to Canada.
