The Virgin Sacrifice

A revelation of holy terror!

Synopsis

Before *Virgin*, I never put much stock in the idea of a cursed production. Take a film like *Incubus*. Just because the director’s nephew died, the production company went belly up, and Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate attended the premiere—those could all just be coincidences. Shit happens. But with *Virgin*, you could just sense an ominous cloud over the set. It didn’t help that our chief investor was a ranking member of the Church of Satan. In the end, we tallied three overdoses, a set designer maimed for life, bankruptcy, and a car bombing (sort of). Even the film itself disappeared. Not just the prints. The film lab burnt down and we lost the negative. All I’ve got left is the nine-minute opening to the main feature and the sound-sync is messed up. —JXW

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
