Harvey Stephens, as Damien, was largely chosen for this role from the way he attacked Richard Donner during auditions. Donner asked all the little boys to "come at him" as if they were attacking Katherine Thorn during the church wedding scene. Stephens screamed and clawed at Donner's face, and kicked him in the groin during his act. Donner whipped the kid off him, ordered the kid's blond hair dyed black and cast him as Damien.
The biggest problem with shooting with Mrs. Baylock's ominous dog was that the animal was nothing like the creature he was supposed to be portraying. He wanted to lick and play with his co-stars rather than threaten them.
Jerry Goldsmith didn't want to attend the Academy Awards that year, since he had already lost multiple times before and didn't want to go through the ordeal of losing again. Director Richard Donner told him that he was going to win without a doubt. Goldsmith was so nervous throughout the ceremony that he said he was smoking two cigarettes at a time. It was Goldsmith's only Oscar.
(at around 51 mins) When the fishbowl falls to the ground, (dead) sardines painted orange were used in place of actual goldfish, since director Richard Donner refused to kill goldfish for the sake of making a movie.
One of the reasons why Gregory Peck accepted the role of a tortured father, conflicted with guilt, was because he hadn't been around when his son Jonathon committed suicide in 1975.
"Young nanny: Look at me, Damien! It's all for you. [she jumps off a roof, hanging herself]"
"Father Brennan: When the Jews return to Zion / And a comet rips the sky / And the Holy Roman Empire rises, / Then You and I must die. / From the eternal sea he rises, / Creating armies on either shore, / Turning man against his brother / 'Til man exists no more."
