Roman Polanski's _The Tenant_ was based on the novel by Topor. Topor also played Renfield in Werner Herzog's _Nosferatu The Vampyre_ (vhs/ntsc)(1979). Topor, Jodorowsky & Fernando Arrabal had once formed an anarcho-surrealist group called the Panic Movement. Inspired by Artaud the three had performed chaotic theatre "mainly in Mexico" during the 1960s.
