• The film is based on Anne Rice's novel "Interview with the Vampire" (1976).
• Anne Rice's bestselling novel "Interview with the Vampire" was originally written in 1969 as a short story. In 1973, the story was reworked into a novel, and a year and a half later, the "Knopf" publishing house offered the writer $12,000 for its publication.
• Rivers Phoenix was originally planned for the role of the journalist, but he died. Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia, and Johnny Depp was invited for the role of Lestat.
• Lestat's birthday coincides with that of Stan Rice – November 7th.
• Louis' birthday coincides with that of Anne Rice – October 4th.
• At the latitude of Paris (48°52' north latitude), the sun is never at its zenith, meaning the execution of women in the 'sun pit' could not have taken place as shown in the film. However, the pit could have been dug at an angle.
