Special Features:

  • "Fast, Cheap, and Out of Sight" (32:08, HD) is the making-of for "The Invisible Maniac," featuring interviews with writer/director Adam Rifkin, executive producer Cassian Elwes, crew member Dan Povenmire, composer Marc David Decker, and actors Rod Sweitzer, Debra Lamb, and Stephanie Blake. Rifkin begins with his boyhood love of movies, knowing at a young age that he was going to become a director, even if he didn't know what that job was. Making his way to L.A., Rifkin teamed up with Elwes, trying to break into the business with his first endeavor, "Never on Tuesday." Taking career advice from John Landis, Rifkin elected to make a "practice" film with "The Invisible Maniac" before taking on "The Dark Backward," banging out a script in a matter of days, with production beginning right away. Such speed necessitated a pseudonym, with "Rif Coogan" taking the reins of the project. Casting is highlighted, with people collected in a hurry, and performance choices are recalled, including Povenmire, who was tasked with creating a music video for the picture. Scoring efforts from Decker are examined, who had little time to generate music. Rifkin shares his motivation to add 13 minutes of footage for the international release, coming up with a dream sequence to honor contractual obligations. And the feature's release is tracked, doing well on the home video market.
  • Deleted Scene (13:00, SD) is a dream sequence added to "The Invisible Maniac" to increase the run time for the international release.
  • "He's Invisible" (4:16, SD) is a music video.
  • Behind-the-Scenes (10:05, SD) is a look at the making of the "He's Invisible" music video.
  • "Request Video" (12:11, SD) is a public access show featuring "Rif Coogan" as a guest, exploring his Texas upbringing and the R-rated content of "The Invisible Maniac." Coogan hangs around to answer viewer questions and plug the premiere of the film, soon joined by singer Richard Barone.
