While touring Athens with his parents young Dario was climbing the steps of the Parthenon when he was overcome by a trance that caused him to become lost from his parents for hours. The experience was so strong that Argento never forgot it; he immediately thought of it when he came across Graziella Magherini's book about the syndrome, which would become the basis of the film. It was a large box office hit when released in Italy, grossing ₤5,443,000,000 Italian lira, making it Argento's highest grossing film in his native country.
