Production
The set of Mortville was built on the grounds of two of Waters' friends in Hampstead, Maryland; it was built by art director Vincent Peranio after he and Waters went around collecting various large pieces of garbage to construct with. Queen Carlotta's castle was an exterior wall with nothing behind, built with plywood. All Mortville interiors were filmed in a rented warehouse in Baltimore.
Desperate Living was edited for ten weeks in the basement of editor Charles Roggero's home. It was Waters' first film with original music, by Chris Lobingier and Allen Yanus to provide a "cheesy Doctor Zhivago-type score".
