Morva had been banned from campus by the police, allegedly for trespassing in restricted areas, but the filmmakers felt him to be harmless and sneaked him onto the location. In the completed scene, it is Morva who is standing off-screen and shaking the chain (he also shows up in silhouette near the end of the film). A year later, William Morva was arrested for an attempted armed robbery, and escaped from jail by killing a security guard and a police officer (he has since been re-captured and convicted of murder).
