- TriviaAccording to director Marc Lawrence, at the film's theatrical premiere in Detroit, Michigan on May 23, 1973, the distributor offered free bacon to the audience as part of a promotion, most of which was quietly and cautiously returned after it was over.
- GoofsThere is a camera shadow behind Lynn when she stabs Jess Winter in Zambrini's diner.
- Alternate versionsAside from Marc Lawrence's original cut of the film, which was titled "The 13th Pig", two other versions of it exist. The first one featured a three-minute introduction depicting Toni Lawrence's character Lynn Hart (here portrayed by a different but similar-looking actress) being possessed by a demon and the subject of an exorcism, ending with her running from the room. This version was exhibited under various titles, including "Love Exorcist" and "Blood Pen". The second one featured an all-new introduction that shows Lynn's childhood experiences with her incestuous father, ending with her stabbing him to death with a knife after he had raped her and then being committed to an asylum because she believes that her father is still alive. She escapes when a nurse undresses to have sex with a doctor, leaving behind her uniform and her car keys. There is also a new ending in this version, which shows Lynn faking her own death and later being picked up on the side of the road by an elderly man in his car who, as she tells him, reminds her of her "Daddy". Lynn is portrayed in these additional scenes by various actresses wearing wigs and photographed from obscure angles. This version was originally titled "Daddy's Girl". This is also the version that was released to home video by various companies and again under various titles, including "Daddy's Deadly Darling", "Pigs", "The Killers" and "Horror Farm".

Featured review
The mystery of the 13th pig.
I saw this for the first time recently without reading anything bah it n without watching the trailer. I was hoping for a killer pig movie but got totally disappointed.
This film doesn't have a single scene of a pig attack and even the end scene is just offscreen.
Marc Lawrence (Diamonds Are Forever and The Man with the Golden Gun) is the director, producer, writer and actor. He even took his real life daughter as the lead actress and that is why we only get to see her busty cleavage.
Marc is remembered as one of the three black-suited henchmen who tossed Plenty O'Toole (Lana Wood) through a high-rise hotel window into a pool in Diamonds Are Forever. Looking out of the window afterward, Sean Connery as Bond says, "Exceptionally fine shot." A deadpan Lawrence responds, "I didn't know it was a pool down there."
Coming back to this film, it has shades of psychological thrillers, slasher films, exploitation films n creatures gone rogue but the end product is a total failure. The film even has supernatural shades. The acting is atrocious, the editing horrendous, the music n songs totally irrelevant.
