According to the trivia on IMDb (which I'd need another source to verify but think sounds pretty legit): "The death of "Maria" was a re-shoot. The director did not approve but agreed as it was a direct order from Roger Corman. Knowing this also helps explain continuity errors in the film. For example, as Maria is attacked the three other girls rush to aid, but presumably just stand there and watch her be molested and murdered while doing nothing. Originally after falling to the floor she was immediately killed (as evident in the long shot of her murder. Maria's dress is still on.)"<br /><br />2. According to the director herself: "The first cut of the film ran short, so we shot an extra scene and added it in -- the scene where Maria gets killed. I believe that version was what was released theatrically and on video."<br /><br />I guess when you think about it that really does explain the scene. Maria's nightie really IS miraculously back on in the long shot after she's killed. I could also definitely see Corman wanting a bit more blood and nudity and thus having the director re-film this to be more explicit.The Bloody Pit of Horrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419921450872885649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-43863818561996453092015-08-08T14:46:49.954-04:002015-08-08T14:46:49.954-04:00yes! maria ford is in peril while distracting the ...yes! maria ford is in peril while distracting the killer and nobody goes for the drill. they cut back to reveal the remaining girls have been standing by the door/window in silence for the last three minutes. stupid. spookyx3noreply@blogger.com
