Did You Know?
| Trivia | Warner Brothers sued the Italian production company behind Beyond the Door (1974) for what they considered to be a blatant rip-off of The Exorcist (1973). The case was settled in Warner Brothers' favor with the Italians forced to pay an undisclosed fee. See more » |
| Goofs | At approximately 6:06 in the beginning the child's shoes are shown, then a cut away to the child. Who is obviously too short, and human to bend and contort in the manner in which the camera suggests. See more » |
