* TroubledProduction: Shooting went smoothly, but post-production was a different story. Despite having been given total creative control of the film, and having delivered the gory ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' clone demanded by Creator/RogerCorman, Corman stormed out of the screening room upon seeing the rough cut [[ExecutiveMeddling and demanded changes to the film]]. Among these changes were new scenes (not shot by Creator/FrancisFordCoppola) which featured a joke character who was killed off by the film's axe murderer, plus a tacked-on prologue tying into the film's promotional gimmick[[note]]A so-called "D-13 Test" which quizzed moviegoers on whether they were psychologically ready to watch the film[[/note]], both of which were added [[{{Padding}} just to pad out the runtime]]. Ironically, Coppola's problems on ''Dementia 13'' would be downright ''quaint'' compared to what was in store for him...
