Trivia

On the beneficiaries' first night in the house, Lorena sits in front of a large, circular vanity mirror preparing for bed. The shot creates an optical illusion of a skull: the shape of the mirror is the outline, Lorena's hair and its reflection form the two eyes and a row of toiletry bottles and its reflection create the teeth. An illustration of a skull is superimposed briefly over the shot to drive the point home. The same effect appears at Phantom Manor, Disneyland Paris' version of The Haunted Mansion; there the effect is enhanced by a crack in the wall behind the bride, the reflection of which forms the skull's nose.
