Featuring mostly subtitled comments by PELTS' Italian producer Dario Argento, this "making of" is fleshed out by "two cents worth" from Meatloaf (short-tempered furrier, Jake), Link Baker (Jake's right-hand man, Lou), Ellen Ewusie (Jake's crush, Shanna), executive producer Mick Garris, DP Attila Szalay, Elise Lew (Jake's seamstress, Sue), screenwriter Matt Venne, production designer David Fischer, as well as special effects and make-up supervisor Howard Berger. Mark Kleiman deserves credit for nicely editing comments from all these cast and crew members, and production manager Margo Zimmerman needs to be commended for not letting the 10 producers credited on this 13 minute, 17 second short overwhelm her. Since the Masters of Horror series entry PELTS features female nudity, it may come as no surprise that this "making of" highlights clips showing more of the same.
Meatloaf provided my favorite quote on this extra: "My scene where I skinned myself made horror movie history--it'd never been done before."
