• David Schmoeller based the appearance of the doll named “Blade” on Klaus Kinski.
• Pinhead's hands were portrayed by the hands of actress-dwarf Cindy Sorenson. According to her, the most difficult part of the filming was constantly keeping her head tilted while simultaneously carrying Pinhead on her shoulders and simulating punches.
• The Leech's mouth was made of rubber, which made it appear very pliable in scenes where she was regurgitating leeches. Only three-quarters of a leech emerged from the puppet's mouth, after which editing created the impression that a whole leech came out.
• The hotel in Bodega Bay was miniature, approximately the size of a refrigerator. Composite photography gave it its normal size.
• Five puppeteers operated the blade.
• At the beginning of the film, an Asian doll is seen in the window of Andre Toulon. An authentic Burmese marionette was used here.
• The appearance of the doll named "Blade" was modeled by David Schmoeller after Klaus Kinski.
