What's left behind the scenes

Francis Ford Coppola is credited in the film's credits without a middle name.
The film was originally supposed to be simply titled “Dementia.” The number 13 was added to the title when it was discovered that a film with the same English title – “Madness” from 1955 – already existed.
Francis Ford Coppola assisted Roger Corman on the set of the action film "Young Racers" (1963) in Ireland, and Corman allowed him to simultaneously shoot "Dementia 13" and use his set, equipment, crew, and actors Luana Anders (1938-1996), William Campbell (1926-2011), and Patrick Magee (1924-1982) on the condition that it did not interfere with his own shooting schedule.
