Deborah Dutch met Jim Wynorski at a party a couple of years before and he said he'd like to use her in one of his films, but she said no because she didn't do nudity. Then she ended up posing for Playboy and enjoyed it so much she changed her mind about nudity. So she contacted Wynorski and said she's open to it. He called her soon after saying the actress they hired to play the Serving Girl for this movie never showed up, and offered her the part if she'd film a nude bath scene. She agreed and started filming that day.
Deborah Dutch said in an interview that it was freezing on set when she filmed her bath scene. When she got out of the tub for her death, they covered her entire body with fake blood. Then she had to lay on a cold cement floor in a pool of the blood for an hour while they filmed from different angles. She was shivering and her teeth were chattering, but she tried not to move or she'd ruin the shot. After they finished, she had to stand in the tub again while some of the guys on the crew rinsed blood off her with buckets of warm water because they didn't want her tracking the sticky goo across the studio. She joked that it was a good thing she wasn't shy at that point. Then she put on a robe and hurried to a shower where she stood in the warm water for a long, long time.
