Production
Pirro had originally intended for the film to star Grease actor Eddie Deezen, who had agreed to appear in it as a favor to a friend, but he left the production shortly after shooting began.[1] Pirro reworked Deezen's scenes into flashbacks, using audio clips to voice the skeletal remains of his character, and played the lead role of Dupah himself.[2]
Filmed for just $2,500, Pirro sold A Polish Vampire in Burbank to a home video company for $40,000,[3] and it went on to gross $500,000 in cassette sales.[4] The minor character of the Queerwolf would later be featured in Pirro's 1988 film Curse of the Queerwolf.[2]
