Short description
A young man, convinced he's a vampire, goes to live with his elderly and hostile cousin in a small Pennsylvanian town, where he tries to suppress his bloodlust.
What's left behind the scenes
- The initial scenes in the train compartment were filmed in a train standing on a siding. To create the illusion of movement, the technical crew was instructed to carry lanterns past the windows at regular intervals. According to George A. Romero, sometimes people were forgotten to be told the scene was filmed and continued to walk past the windows with lanterns.
- The scene with Martin in the parade was not in the original script.
- The scenes in Braddock, Pennsylvania, were filmed on location – in a suburb of Pittsburgh. Many local residents, including police officers, played extras in them.
- Tom Savini performed all the stunts himself and always applied his own makeup.
- During the black-and-white flashbacks, the priest genuinely recites exorcism spells in Latin.
- The opening scenes in the compartment were filmed in a train stationed on siding tracks. To create the illusion of movement, technical staff were instructed to carry lanterns past the windows at regular intervals. According to George A. Romero, people were sometimes forgotten to be told that the scene had wrapped, and they just kept walking past the windows with their lanterns.
