Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film explicitly frames lycanthropy through female puberty—director Fritz Böhm called it 'Carrie with claws,' rejecting traditional male-dominated wolfman lore.
Brad Dourif filmed most of his scenes in a single week and reportedly improvised several of Daddy's creepy lullabies. The 'wildling' creature suit required three puppeteers.
