Straker: Ciao, Constable.
Constable Parkins Gillespie: Chow?
Straker: Ciao. It's a familiar Italian expression meaning goodbye.
Constable Parkins Gillespie: I didn't know you were Italian.
Straker: I'm not. The word is.
Trivia: The scenes where the child vampires float around outside or float into the bedrooms of their victims were partly filmed in reverse to make them seem more "unnatural."
