Production
Filming began on August 17, 1981.[3] Aldo Sambrell was involved in a unsimulated sex scene with Marina Hedman, which he later recalled: "We had to shoot a love scene, Marina and I... Well, I was lying on the bed, waiting for her, and when she showed up we started making out; after a while I realized that she was doing it for real and I had to stop her..." Sambrell contacted Crisanti to state he could not work under these conditions.[4] Sambrell was replaced by Gaita for the explicit shots.[4]

Satan's Baby Doll was submitted to the Italian rating board in June 1982 in a softcore version which had a running time of a little over 73 minutes.[3] The film was first released in Spain on 25 February 1983 in a softcore version titled La hija de Satanas.[1][3] The Spanish version was seen by 20,230 spectators and grossed a 2019 equivalent of 30,200 Euro.[5] It was distributed theatrically in Italy by Film 2 on 29 July 1983.[1] Although Bianchi and Cristanti had denied a hardcore version of the film had existed, a hardcore version of the film premiered on a German DVD in 2007.[3] The hardcore version runs at 88 minutes.[1]
