Production
For Satan's Baby Doll, Gabriele Crisanti and screenwriter Piero Regnoli opted to remake the film Malabimba – The Malicious Whore, which included casting Mariangela Giordano to reprise her role. Giordano spoke negatively on the role, stating that remaking Malabimba was "a stupid move. I felt used, abused and exploited." It was the last film Giordano made with Crisanti, ending both their professional and personal relationships. Unlike Cristanti's earlier films, which were hybrids of sex and horror, the target for Satan's Baby Doll was for a hardcore pornography audience. This included casting Italy's best known pornographic actress of the period Marina Hedman and Alfonso Gaita, who was a regular in Italian hardcore pornography films of the period. Jacqueline Dupré was a stagename of an actress who Mario Bianchi stated he couldn't remember her real name, but recalled that she lived in Ostia and that this was seemingly her only film.Filming began on August 17, 1981. Aldo Sambrell was involved in a unsimulated sex scene with Marina Hedman, which he later recalled: "We had to shoot a love scene, Marina and I... Well, I was lying on the bed, waiting for her, and when she showed up we started making out; after a while I realized that she was doing it for real and I had to stop her..." Sambrell contacted Crisanti to state he could not work under these conditions. Sambrell was replaced by Gaita for the explicit shots.
