After killing her husband, Peggy Gravel and her murderous maid Grizelda wind up in the crazy town of Mortville, where Queen Carlotta presides over a sleazy collection of misfits.
What's left behind the scenes
- Newspapers refused to publish the original advertisement for this film – a photograph of a prepared rat on a plate.
- The cockroaches that Jean Hill and Mink Stool are forced to eat in the castle are actually raisins.
- Production designer Vincent Peranio prepared a real rat to be "eaten" during the opening credits.
- Homeless people, specifically brought in for filming, played most of the extras in Mortville. They had to be filmed quickly because they had a tendency to wander off.
- Production designer Vincent Peranio prepared a real rat so that it could be ‘eaten’ during the opening credits.
