Trivia

Shower 'Stuff' :-)

Once Laura is in the washroom, type in "Take Shower". Laura strips, gets in and scrubs away while the hooded killer slips in and murders her in a wonderful parody of the horror classic "Psycho", complete with high-pitched violins playing.

In the sequence in Fifi's room while she get ready to meet her lover-boy Jeeves, when she goes behind the screen to change type in "Open Door" and you can see Fifi in her underwear!
