Trivia
Acting debut of Morgan Brittany. She was uncredited even though she had several lines near the end as the little girl with the doll.

Goofs
When Markie and Helen are arguing about Markie's real name, Terry Burnham mouths Janice Rule's lines "Understand what?" along with her in between her own before a cut to her close-up.

Quotes
Narrator: [Opening Narration] Month of November, hot chocolate, and a small cameo of a child's face, imperfect only in its solemnity. And these are the improbable ingredients to a human emotion, an emotion, say, like - fear. But in a moment this woman, Helen Foley, will realize fear. She will understand what are the properties of terror. A little girl will lead her by the hand and walk with her into a nightmare.
