 Originally, Satanico Pandemonium was called Blonde Death.  Quentin Tarantino (qv) decided to go for a Latino/Mexican star, so  he used Salma Hayek (qv) after seeing her in  _Desperado (1995)_ (qv). The name Sntanico Pandemonium came from the  title of a gory Mexican horror movie  (_Satánico pandemonium (1975)_ (qv)) that Tarantino had seen on the  shelves of the video store he worked in.
