Did You Know?
| Trivia | The actresses who played the burns victims were dancers chosen because they were the same height as the actresses playing the victims, but significantly slimmer in build. This is because when the human body is subjected to burns it shrinks due to a loss of fluid. See more » |
| Goofs | When the first victim, Kathy Jordan, is in the steel room, you see Donny pour the accelerant on her torso and she is visibly wet. The next scene shows her dry again on the torso. See more » |
