What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Scott Heim’s novel “Mysterious Skin” (1996).
- In one of the scenes of "Mysterious Skin," Brian and Eric watch the horror film "Dead Man Next Door."
- In the US, the film received the most restrictive rating of NC-17. A similar R+ rating received by the film in Australia was contested by the country's Attorney General, who sought a complete ban on the screening of "Mysterious Skin." The resulting scandal was resolved with a compromise – the film was released in Australian cinemas, but its screenings were prefaced with the commentary: "Adult themes, scenes of sexual violence." There were no problems with screening the film in Russia. It had a limited release on May 26, 2005. Less than a month later, on June 15, the DVD was released. The film premiered on Russian television on May 25, 2007, on the TV-3 channel as part of the "Other Cinema" program.
- In the spring of 2007, the film took first place in the popularity ranking compiled by the gay.ru website, based on a survey of over 6,000 Russian homosexuals.
- Director Gregg Araki personally edited the film on his Macintosh computer.
- To prepare for the role, Joseph Gordon-Levitt spent about a week visiting cities in Kansas led by writer Scott Heim, who showed him places and people whose characters formed the basis of the book.
- The film is based on Scott Heim's novel "Mysterious Skin" (1996).
