"Originally, "Satanico Pandemonium" was called "Blonde Death". Quentin Tarantino decided to go for a Latino/Mexican star, so he used Salma Hayek after seeing her in Desperado (1995). The name "Satanico Pandemonium" came from the title of a gory Mexican horror movie (Satanico Pandemonium (1975)) that Tarantino had seen on the shelves of the video store in which he worked."

"The pain, I can assure you, will be exquisite. As for our deaths, there is nothing to fear. Our names will be written on a thousand walls. Our crimes told and retold by our faithful believers. We shall die together in front of their very eyes and give them something to be haunted by. Come with me and be immortal."

Horrorween - Day 03 / 31: The House That Dripped Blood (1971) dir. Peter Duffell "That's what's wrong with the present day horror films. There's no realism. Not like the old ones, the great ones. Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, Dracula - the one with Bela Lugosi of course, not this new fellow."
