After getting the okay to make the picture, he then wrote the script for the movie. The film took 12 years to make. The film cost $1.5 million making it Henenlotter's most expensive (at the time), but there were still budgetary issues. The producers told him they had used up all of the allotted funds for pyrotechnics during the exploding hookers scene to which he replied "How...am I gonna film the lab scene?!" He ended up calling in a favor to do some "unlicensed pyrotechnics" for the shoot. Lorinz recalls the guy finishing the setup and telling him "Don't worry, it's maybe safe." The scene where Jeffrey goes driving looking for ladies of the night to provide body parts was filmed in what is now Tribeca. It was a much different place then though, and they got the shots from the open door of a moving van. The women featured were real hookers, who are in SAG now. This was Henenlotter's first SAG film meaning he was using actors who were members of the guild, but he ran into some trouble as the girls the guild was sending were not inclined to do nudity. "Or, you didn't want them to do nudity," he adds. So he went to Billy's Topless Bar looking for girls instead, and a short while later he had several strippers signed on, each of them hired for specific degrees of nudity. SAG ended up making each of them members. John Zacherle (Zacherly), host of Chiller and Shock Theater on different TV stations, cameos as the TV weatherman with weather "for mad scientists". Zacherle was known on TV as a horror host.
