- TriviaDuring filming, director Harry Kümel hit actress Danielle Ouimet during a dispute. Actor John Karlen was so infuriated by this behavior that he punched Kumel in the face. The atmosphere on the set was understandably tense afterwards.

- Versiones alternativasThe original U.S. theatrical release was cut by approximately 12 minutes to obtain an R-rating, and features a slightly different opening credits sequence in which Lainie Cooke (not Delphine Seyrig as sometimes rumored) sings over the main theme of the film. This sequence features a stylized title logo (the same as that on the U.S. posters), while the rest of the credits use a font that is more formal and less bold compared to the original version. After being released on Canadian and American VHS (where it was retitled "Children of the Night"), the U.S. version was eventually replaced in circulation by the uncut version in the 1990s, although its title sequence is presented among the special features of Blue Underground's 2020 4K Blu-ray release of the film.

Opinión destacada
While I appreciate vampires as a staple of the horror genre, I have never been a big fan of vampire films. And while I will be the first to laud the merits of Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee's contributions to the cape, they look rather timid next to Countess Elizabeth Bathory (the luminous and sensual Delphine Seyrig) in "Daughters of Darkness." While Harry Kumel's film is one of the most aesthetically beautiful vampire pictures ever lensed, dripping with subtle sexual tension, it also presses forth with a feminist/lesbian subtext that's as alluring as it is clever. The plot is relatively straightforward, and the film takes its time in establishing mood and atmosphere--Valerie (Danielle Ouiment) and Stefan (John Karlen) are newlyweds who are on the rocks only 3 hours into the marriage, and things are complicated further when Countess Bathory and her assistant, Ilona (Andrea Rau) check into the same deserted seaside hotel. While the atmosphere could be compared to the Universal and Hammer horrors, Kumel's artistry--with well-framed images, emphasis on wardrobe, and a very deliberate color scheme--exists in its own unique league. The topic of lesbianism--and even heterosexuality--is presented in a minimalist, unexploitative manner, yet maintains a pervasive eroticism throughout. Even the vampiric seduction is presented with a minimum of graphic bloodshed, which is all the more effective. "Daughters of Darkness" is the type of moody, character-driven piece that plays like a sensual sister to George Romero's similarly unique "Martin." As my comment title implies, this is an excellent film, required viewing for fans of horror and great art alike.
